I was checking out the cutoffs required for iim calls as calculated by various coaching centers.
The one given by TIME is 44 +/-1 fora single call. and 44 is where exactly my calculated score lies based on the key provided by them. But here comes another catch - the key given by ims is having a couple of questions with different answers..and my attempts are not spared.God! these speculations and discussions are killing me. But why should I worry about the stuff, coz i gave it the best shot i could ever deliver. now to wait with fingers crossed....
next week , after a long time i would be going home this week.

expecting the unexpected, the CAT philosophy..
True to the legacy of CAT, it threw up a couple of surprises. With practically no easytakes the exam proved to be a tough nut to crack. and to my horror and later to a few others too, the verbal section - the everyones's cup of tea - turned out be a real bloodshed with passsages about articles ranging from the mystical pablo derrida's deconstruction theory to a technically oriented game theory. Heard that the passage called edwardian summer is an editorial by Guardian editor Larry elliot...hats off to those who could make out the questions itself. A rough estimate of the paper's difficulty level can be estimated from the fact that almost none of the coaching centers could come with a complete answer key on the day of the exam although many of them had claimed to put them up on the website right after 3 hrs of the exam...quite strange that we are trying to crack a verbal section in 30min which the whole of the iim/xlri passouts running the premier coaching institutes couldn't do in even 12 hrs. still, since the stakes are high for CAT that doesnt deter anyone from trying a second shot next year..But i'm dead sure that if i end up not getting a call, then the next thing is to give the GATE ,the last in the stack.
