Over the last few months, we have been peppered with queries about the one year residential Executive PGP programmes at the IIMs. We have finally decided that EPGP students at the IIMs would be the ones best placed to answer them. We are delighted to announce that IIM C is on board. You can get your queries answered by (Rajgopal Iyengar and Anindya Bhattacharjee), students of the IIM Calcutta PGPEX programme, Class of 2013. Later on, a new team from the Class of 2014 will take over to answer your queries.

Dealing with Percentages – Part 1
A percentage, for the lack of a better definition, is a number or ratio as a fraction of 100. Probably its oldest application, like so many other things in today’s world, was at the time of the Roman Empire. Augustus, founder of the Roman Empire and its first Emperor, levied a tax of 1/100 on goods sold at auction known as centesima rerum venalium. Computation with these fractions was similar to computing percentages. The word itself is derived from the Latin per centum meaning “by the hundred”. The percent sign evolved by gradual contraction of the phrase “per cento”. The "per" was often abbreviated as "p." and eventually disappeared entirely. The "cento" was contracted to two circles separated by a horizontal line from which the modern "%" is derived. But enough about history…let us come back to the present and some practical uses of percentages.

GD Monday - 'India does not innovate' - Week 10
You can still use our last week's GD on the budget here. Compared to past GDs it got very little attention. It is surprising given it is such an important topic.
