Ajay - On the Road called Life!

I wish I had all good news to give but… here’s a short update on the status of my MBA admissions.
SCMHRD - Awaiting results on 24th Feb
FMS - Reject
SPJIMR - Reject
CET 2007 - Written Exam on 25 Feb, GDPI on 24 May.
XIMB - GDPI on 12th March.
Well, from the looks of this I’ve got three [...]

I’m so tied down with things it’s surprising how a person sitting at home all day long can be so busy!
Last Friday, I made it for choir practice after a while. Saturday was James‘ brother’s wedding. The nuptials were at our church, while the reception was at St. Andrew’s, Bandra.
Danced a decent amount. I still [...]

I’ve had a majority of bad papers so far, except for the XAT which was decent. Still awaiting calls if any.
Today I give the entrance exam for FMS, Delhi from 3pm to 5pm. The center is the same viz. St. Xavier’s College.
So just a small request is to say a small prayer that the exam [...]

Had written in yesterday about the NMAT being held on Sunday.
My center for the same was Satheye College in Vile Parle. Picked up AJJ on the way there. We reached there well in time. And this turned out to be really early, because we just had to kill time until ten minutes before the [...]

Have been counting down to this paper. Tommorow is the NMAT. The exam will be held from 3pm to 5.30pm with reporting at 2pm (read usual nap time).
NMAT is the entrance exam for NMIMS, Mumbai
Intend to get a good deal of sleep tonight and wake up a bit later tomorrow morning so as to not [...]

Questionable.
Have decided and will continue writing a mock exam a day until a few days prior to the CAT or till they run out
Well, gave the first mock CAT paper of TIME today. Am pleased with my overall score. Should have done better in Quant, because that cut-off still evaded me today as well.
Tomorrow [...]

Had two completely antithetical days yesterday and today (actually, that would be day before and yesterday, given the time of this post).
Awoke early Sunday morning and went for the 8.30am mass for which we were singing. I haven’t awoken at 7.30am since a long long time and as a result I ended up feeling extremely [...]

Ok I am just grumbling! But I am sure a lot of students who gave the Common Entrance Test (CET) for MBA/MMS today would agree.
I know a few who do. Unlike the CAT, the answers in the CET booklet had to be coloured with a BLACK BALL POINT PEN.
This meant that you had no way [...]

Today was the big day again, i.e. big for nearly two lakh students who took the CAT today.
I had my center at Guru Nanak College in Sion East. Never heard of that place but was confident of getting there.

Left early and was there by 9.15am itself to find a large number of students already there, [...]
