CAT results have created terrible wave of resentment on the campus. All seniors are fuming at the hostility IIMs have shown towards DA-IICT.

Anee has 98.2 %ile and clears all sectional cutoffs ( as given on coaching class websites. IIMs do not declare cutoffs). But she doesn't have a single call, not even from kozhikode. Same is the case with prtham kumar who has 98.8 %ile. Even Sid mohan ( > 99 ) does not have a call, it seems. Nidhi Minj is from reserved category and did well in the exam. But there isn't any news about her. If she also doesn't get a call then, according to Anee, there is something wrong.
Now, the bad part is that Anee told me that she received a call when she was at home and the person at the other end claimed to be from IIMB. He told her mother that it was a normal process of verification and then went on to ask if our college has AIU approval. This happened with pratham kumar and Sid Mohan also. The call was made befor the results were out. She told me that 3 people had received the call and all 3 of them have > 98 %ile which is sufficient for a call from at least kozhikode. So Anee thinks that thoug they qualified, IIMs deliberately dropped them. The call was on a landline phone and so the number of the calling party could not be checked.

There are news that somebody complained to IIMs that there are around 70 colleges which aren't approved. But their students are writing CAT. And the grapevine is that IIMs have blacklisted all these 70 istitutes, of which we are one. This was told to Anee by Dua. So we have to believe it.
So students here have started getting a feeling that the recognitonproblem did them in.
If our college has already been listed and what our seniors are thinking is really true, I fear the IIMs would not let us even write CAT next year because by the time the forms are to be submitted (september) we might not have our recognition, though we might have it by the final admissions next year.

We will have to be prepared with our options. because if not now, we will never be able to write CAT 'coz it is one's graduation only that decides his elligibility.

My reaction? - "fuck kudchadker. what was he doing all these years?"

Hey what culd be the worst case scenario? - I slogging in an IT company (CT companies are not comin for campus interviews) writing lines of code, with a student from Nirma or REC Surathkal ( I rejected both the instis) and MBA from an IIM shooting orders at me. boohooho.

I pray that Nidhi gets a call. Pleeeeeez GOD, pleeeeez.
