IIM Websites....for the MBA dream of India!

....Welcome to my blogspot for MBA aspirants in India.

I am an MBA from IRMA and my name is Aju John Varghese. I have worked in the past full-time with TIME & IMS and is now AVP & Karnataka Business Head with CL (I was GM & the head of College test prep of TIME South in the past).

As a rule, I try to write the CAT every year to keep in touch with the changes so that I can help my students effectively in preparation for the tests. I was associated with a Business Research firm called Analytiks based in ITES Infopark, Cochin as a Promoter Business Head and has been into core management education & has in the past taught for MBA with the ICFAI group & been an Assistant Professor at Rajagiri School of Management, Cochin.
For more info on me you can check out: http://ajuinjesus.in

I have created this page for all MBA aspirants & my students anywhere, who would like to get access to all the best online resources for getting equipped for a career in Management. I am convinced that there are enough sites that do the job well, but there is no good aggregator of links for the same. In this site, i have tried to collect & pass on to you some of the best links that would come of use to you- hence to act like a beacon or a lighthouse for the MBA aspirant!

My only request to you:
1)Remember those who helped you reach where you are
2)Help the poor of India become self-sufficient
3)Let me know more links if you come across some good ones which are not part of this list.

So enjoy, and have a good career & life.
Bye & God Bless.....Aju John...

2 CAT Admit cards recieved-2 diff locations!- What to be done

Dear students,

there is a new error that has surfaced! Few students who had registered for Cochin have recieved 1 more admit card for another location on the same date. The Cochin admit card comes first followed by the new location admit card after few more days


In fact after one of our students had got such an admit card, she recieved a phone call today telling her that she cannot be given Cochin since there are no slots for Cochin on that particular day (though she had already recieved an admit card with a booked slot). The caller identified as someone speaking on behalf of testing authorities & said that which location does she prefer among Kozhikode or Bangalore since there was no slot available in Cochin- she insisted that she wanted to have Cochin itself and that she already had booked & got conformation for Cochin and she needs to get the same only & not any other location. The person replied that she will have to call the helpline number & mail the contact form and tell the same.
We do not know the exact reason as to why this should be happening, but in case you have recieved any such re-located Admit cards, we recommend that you do the following:

  • Log on to the website using your username & password
  • Click on 'Re-send admit card'
  • check the venue in the latest mail that you recieve
  • In case it is the venue you do not want, call the helpline in person at toll free number: 1-800-103-9293 and insist that you need the original timing & slot that you got
  • Mail them @ Webmail: http://www.prometric.com/IIM-CAT/contactus  - copy paste the Admit Card-mail you got Prometric and state categorically that you do not want that slot to be changed under any circumstances
  • In case anyone calls up (from side of CAT authorities) asking that you have to change your originally alloted venue, tell them categorically that you are not willing to change the originally alloted slot & venue
  • Convey the above to any other T.I.M.E. student who might be facing the same issue.
Regards,
Aju John.
