You people must be sayin I blog after only an entrance exam...but well these days other than that there isnt nethin much to write u see...but kinda its better to write more bout the lessons one learns in life thru his experiences - JMET yesterday was another experience...
The IIT's are a brand by themselves - which sets them apart from the IIMs - i guess the only brand which has been havin recognition all ova da world from many years down the line now...so well - we can forget that the paper will even be misconducted - forget as shabbily conducted as IIFT did - besides da JMET process is carried by da GATE office itself...so well - n yes, it did have kinda da same standard a normal GATE paper wud have - normal sections like an evry'year' JMET paper...n yes, not to forget - an untouchable Quant section...
Had gone to stay over at my frenzs' place overnite at rajaji just as i had done for CAT...this time the centre was S.Nijalingappa College very close to their house. Did go to have a look at it da previous day though, but the other things done the prev day of course werent of ne use - eg. goin thru some basics in calculus,conics and vectors (folks, remember the higher math we studied?)...dint know wat was in store for me on 11th Dec...
As usual, 2 things were conspicuous by their absence - the hype of CAT which sets off the butterflies in one's stomach on DDAY...n the instruction on the first page of the test booklet to perform equally well in all sections. Reached the college by 9:30 AM...da normal situation - crowd outside...but heh...noticed some other things too - now i shud say some real innovative ways of makin money - number 1 - the mobiles were told to be deposited outside at a counter n ten rupees were collected from evryone as a fee - bull shit i shud say - i just switched it off and put it in my pocket, as must have some others...but yea there were a lot of dumb engineers out there i shud say... number 2 - a pandit from a temple standin outside, putin teeka for each kind of nervous student - hehe...dat was funny...n i gess he too was doin it for a ten rupee note to be put in his thali...
Howeva even more things...the bench of the same type which i had for CAT..but this time i even got a shaky one...i saw the dumb engineers of today also handin out evry bit of paper they had to da supervisor...as if he wud rap on their heads durin the 2 hours which wud follow and ask them to remove their gurlfrenz photo from their wallet as if they had xray vision - more bull huh?? me was unmoved though...the real fire set in wen the booklets were distributed...n yea it all began at 10:30 am...a normal start to a normal paper - verbal to begin - bashed the entire section, went onto logic...went very good in da beginning, with the exception of an arrangements caselet which was disguised and appeared real easy, but of course wasnt...wasted almost ten min there, n yes...if i hadnt left it the next sec i wud have ruined the paper...for a change DI was gud and i had a decent no of attempts there...came for a brief break in betn to Quant (shall call it a brief break coz i ran back to DI soon)...sectional cutoffs not bein there i guess is the trademark of JMET...but coz u gotto attempt this section, i had to scan for 2-3 sitters...which werent there of course...but some solvable questions were present...the level of the calculus and higher math questions reminded me of the paper i had answered five years back - IIT JEE - that too only the screening as i cudnt make it to da mains...
The experience was pleasant but i cud have done much better...attempts as usual werent much at all...howeva the bad memories for the day were extinguished with a blast with my frenz in the evenin which followed..one of the best get-togetha's in recent times...mornin dawned today - come n surf thru PG n i find dat some guys had actually cracked the paper like netin...there were no complaints of a tough logical caselet or nethin..(wer did dat go?)...
Realized well - howeva betta an average guy performs, there are always people who perform much better than him....n well, this time there are even more number of people vyin for the top b-schools...da guys n gals in India, as i had earlier estimated are indeed good at braining up in da exam hall...n there are some real good performers who will neva be missin...pushes me to think that I have no place here in this maniac entrance exam world now...coz sometimes even ur best effort isnt enugh in certain cases...just as an entrance exam...(opinions needed)...of course but thats how life is...all u can do is give ur best n just wait n hope for the rest to be the best for u...
phew! am tired for the 2005 at least - no more exams for now!! This whole rigmarole will make my trip to Goa this weekend even more excitin in fact...!
cant wait to get back home now!
