Indian B-Schools Climbup The Rating In Global Ranking

Four Indian institutions have made it to a list of top-10 Bschools in the Asia Pacific region, in a recent survey, in a strong indication that Indian business schools have strengthened their standing among international employers. The QS Global 200 Business Schools Report 2012 notes that Indian B-schools have moved up in almost all specialisations in Asia-Pacific rankings.
The report, which names 36 top business schools in the region, including 11 in Australia, points out that India has improved considerably in recent times, with six schools on the list, including four in the top 10.
The Indian B-schools that have made it to the top 10 among the Asia-Pacific region are Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (2nd), Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (5th), Indian School of Business (7th) and Indian Institute of Management Kolkata (8th). The other two business schools named include S P Jain Institute of Management and Research at 16th rank and Indian Institute of Foreign Trade which made the cut this year for the first time at 21st place.
Business schools in India are continuing to climb up the ratings, the report observes. "In an economy that is rapidly growing in global importance, the rise in employer opinion of MBA graduates is extremely promising in ensuring development of future business leaders to sustain the fast-paced economic growth," the report said. It also observes that business schools in the Asia-Pacific region are strengthening their position in the global MBA education scene. In 2004, only 10 Asian and Australian schools had been included; the number has gone up to 36 this year.

The Effects of Early CAT- The Predictions

As we all know that , the Common Admissions Test (CAT) 2010 will begin in last week of October, a month earlier than the usual November-end. After CAT 2009, CAT has lost its charm but still, aspirants are hoping for the best this time.We all are expecting that this year the MBA aspirants well face glitch free CAT. They will have a better experience of CAT unlike previous Year. As there are a lot of changes in CAT 2010 including early schedule unlike previous year(2009). There are a lot of predictions about early questions. For eg;

How does an early CAT 2010 affect  preparation of aspirants?

 What will be pattern of questions?

Will it be easier paper?

And many more…..

Here are  some predictions by the experts.

1. Lesser  Time To get Prepared to Bell The CAT –  As the CAT will start in OCTOBER this year, preparation time has been reduced by a whole month. Which means that  the students will have to advance their ‘final push’ by about 30 days and concentrate more on studies now. Coaching institutes will hasten to finish their theory classes and move to a full-test practice schedule sooner. If you are person with a job and juggling your CAT preparation with a fulltime job, you should be doing now what you otherwise would have done after one month.

Let's see the other face of coin, the ‘preopening of 30 days’ is more psychological than real. The exam seems like it has been proponed, but you could also be taking the test after November 15, in which case your preparation schedule would be the same as in previous years.

There is a high chance that when it comes to selecting a testing slot during CAT 2010 registration, a large number of applicants will try to book a slot closer to November 23 than to October 27. However, since the slots will have limited seats, there will be a rush to get the later slots and only a few lucky/early ones will get them. Late registrants will have to accept a slot closer to October 27. It would help to keep this in mind when planning your preparation.Those who will be able to get registered for exam on later dates will have some extra time to get prepared well, but still you need to be careful too, as last year many students had reported that the test was very tough. So you need to be careful and prepared for any surprise too.

With the CAT being conducted earlier, the students are advised to take fewer simulated tests but ensure that the self-analysis between two tests is rigorous enough to help you peak at the right time before the CAT,

2. Is CAT 2010 Going to be Easier – The plan for CAT 2010 will require Prometric and the IIMs to create 40 tests with a total of 2,400 questions(assuming 60 questions per paper as CAT 2009). Creating 2,400 questions of high difficulty is a humongous task and as the CAT has been outsourced to PROMETRIC with a purpose to free up faculty time in first place so its quiet less probable that the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) faculty is going to create them.  Professors at IIMs and Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) already tend to have their hands full with consultancy projects and at most they may be involved in approving questions but not creating them. Which logically means that the questions would largely be prepared by Prometric who in according to experts opinion  don’t have the wherewithal to create 2,400 high-difficulty questions. So they will end up making an easier paper with replicated questions which will be more formula-based than logic-based.

Prometric, has however said earlier that they “work closely with IIM professors along with specially trained subject matter experts from other well-regarded Indian universities (for question creation). Each exam question is written, edited and reviewed in an iterative process. All modifications and approvals are tracked electronically in an audit trail.”

Experts implies that although this might be the stated process, it does not seem like it is practicably followable. Mind you, this is just a speculative prediction, though an interesting one to ponder upon.

3. More frequent mock CATs – Even in the case of early CAT, coaching institutes are not going to reduce the number of mock CATs, but they would have to alter the schedule. With lesser time on their hands, one might see more working professionals sign-up for websites that offer online tests anytime and any place at one’s convenience rather than use coaching institute mock CATs which are held on scheduled dates.

4.More prep time for other entrance exams – Those appearing for CAT 2010 in the earlier slots will have a month or even more to prepare for the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) entrance test, Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP) and Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET), the latter two of which usually take place in December. The most benefited ones will be those who have not had a satisfactory performance in the CAT and are setting their hopes on the next set of exams in line. SNAP has been scheduled on 19th December 2010 and IIFT on NOVEMBER 28th.

5. Shorter window to buy other B-school forms – Business schools accepting CAT scores such as MDI Gurgaon or IMT Ghaziabad traditionally end their form sales about a week before the CAT exam date. This helps them sell more forms, even to candidates who otherwise might not buy them after experiencing a bad performance during the CAT. In previous years, these institutes have closed their form sales around November 20.

With the CAT 2010 starting on October 27, these b-schools will now have to stop selling forms in October itself. But still we should not forget that IMT, Ghaziabad had started selling the forms again after CAT almost every year.

So the best advise for all the MBA aspirants is - Please study, and leave rest of the things for these about 100 precious  days. Everything will be alright. :) :) :)

CAT 2010: Strategy For Quantitative Ability-Maintain speed & accuracy

Quantitative Ability  Section of CAT exam is such, where accuracy is very important. To attain the appropriate accuracy level and score well in CAT test, you must take a couple of speed math tests every day. As you are targeting for CAT 2010 so you must pay extra attention to the following topics:-

Basic arithmetic, algebra and geometry. 

Accuracy is very important factor for scoring high in CAT 2010. Even though you apply the right method to solve a problem, if you are not accurate enough or commit even a simple mistake, you will have to face negative marking, resulting in low percentile. This article will tell you how you can maintain your accuracy without compromising on the speed. Here we go:-

Practice, it’s the Keyword: Practice is the best tool which can help you to score well. It’s the keyword of success here. Practicing questions helps you to identify your mistakes and analysis with the help of a mentor or your group member will help you realize the type of it. It will help you pay extra attention to it and rectify it. If it is a conceptual ambiguity, please go back to your basics. But if it is a silly mistake then you should practice more of the similar kind of problem and make your calculations more accurate. You need to minimize your areas of weakness by consistent practice.

Identifying the problem areas: You need to identify the problems you are facing while solving the questions in the Quantitative Ability area. Check , if the lack of accuracy takes place in all the topics or on one particular topic. If it is for all topics, then this might be due to your concentration problem. But if this problem pertains in some particular topics, then you should focus on solving that particular topic more.

Be careful while selecting questions: If your problem in accuracy lies in some particular topic/topics, then you should solve more questions from those topics. But while writing CAT 2010, you shall go for the topics you are more comfortable and accurate in. In the exam first solve the questions that you are comfortable with and are faster at solving. However, you should be competent enough to attempt questions from all the topics to get the required percentile in the Quantitative Ability section of CAT 2010. Ideally you should attempt only 10 questions in CAT 2010 without any mistakes.

Practice all the topics to increase speed & maintain accuracy: As mentioned before, you need to cover all the topics of the Quantitative Ability. The experts suggest a time table for covering all topics of Quantitative Ability. We would recommend alternating between areas.

For eg.

Monday - Modern Math, Tuesday - Arithmetic, Wednesday - Algebra, Thursday - Geometry, Friday - take test, Saturday - analyze, Sunday - revise weak areas.

This way would ensure that you cover all the areas in the Quantitative Ability equally.

After revision practice questions of various forms from these topics or take mock tests on the same.

Taking a couple of speed math tests every day will help you a lot. Make it as important as breathing. Basic arithmetic, algebra, geometry forms a broad classification of the topics that may appear in your paper. For both the sections, number theory, ratios, speed and distance, time are important.
