KDT 09 rockzz!!Waiting for DON
Hi ALL,
Welcome to Kolkata Dream Team!!!
Kolkata, the city of joy.....yes our city and we will prove this time that Kolkata has the best brains of India.
We will prove ourselves to be the best...the best of the lot. We will together make into IIMs and record a 100% conversion rate ie, Kolkata drem team will be the one to have all its members into IIMs by end of this season....:thumbsup:
So lets start pouring in with all our efforts, let each one put forward his or her own views, own strategies and let be a team in which each one is the inspiration for all others....:thumbsup:
And we remeber that: "United we stand, divided we fall".
Kolkata Dream Team will be our pride and we will outsmart all others. That's a challenge and yes...Kolkata is ready for this.
Now, regarding the rules I will be posting in just a few minutes. Kindly start your nominations once the rules are posted.
Cheers.....................:cheers:
Hi All,
Let's put forward the rules.
First and foremost:
How wil the teams be constituted ?
Every team will have 11 + 2 players, 1 coach and 1 manager. There is no limit to number of supporters though.
Every team needs to have minimum of 6 members from the same city ie, Kolkata Dream team must have 6 members from Kolkata. Other 7 members should preferably be from nearby locations.
Ok, now let's have a quick look to the mentors of Regional Dream Teams.
Mentors:
Bangalore: Prem_Ravi
Chennai: Nagafrench25
Mumbai: Dr.Shashank
NCR: Adityacool
Hyderabad: Krishvik
Pune: Greenspan
Kolkata: DonIIM
I am really honoured to get such a role. Hope to play a motivating role.
Every one has to post the following mandatorily:
1> A brief intro about himself.
2> Mock Scores this season
3> Previous attempts...(if any)
And another thing: Please post in a single thread. You can obviously edit the post as many times required. 1 post per person actually helps in filtering and getting a clear view about the members.
Last date for the Nominations : 20th September, 2009
The name of the team is something which is open ie, instead of Kolkata Dream Team it can be any other name which is exciting, enthusiastic and positive. So in your post you can also suggest a name for the team. The name will be finally decided after the team is declared.
So come up with your posts.
Cheers.........................:cheers:
Nomination for KDT
Ahh!! KDT legacy is back:w00t: Here I nominate myself!!
Name: Dipanjan
X:85%
XII:80%
CGPA:7.90
I am from a small village..Bengali medium..Wanted to become a doctor..My WB rank on Medical entrance was 1000+..So never got the seat to pursue MBBS in WB..I loved biology and chemistry
(not maths)..So got a rank of 3000+ in WBJEE(engg)..Never seat for any other exams....As I had one pressure of my little sister and brother(twin) I had to go for B.Tech(from a private engg college in WB)..But felt something lagging..Never liked engg studies but I knew I had to manage one job..CTS was the first company visited in our campus cracked it and never looked for further companies, as I never like engg studies my score fell from 8.5 CGPA to 7.5 CGPA and reamined there for the other 3 semesters..By the end of the 3rd year I felt if I had taken a chance of getting into IITs..From here I developed my zeal to get into only IIMs and no where else..No compromise this time around..
Previous year I had only taken AIMCATs..Had to work on Quant throughout the year so VA was there where it was..VA was the nemesis..Being a vernacular medium student I was very weak in VA..I felt it hard to write a sentence without any errors
..TIME AIMCAT scores were hovering around 60s..(25-96%tile)..And in the final day I scored 98.xx%tile in QA and 96.xx%tile in DI but 54%tile in VA..
This time around my score is improving so far as VA is concerned and DI is pathetic,though all the time DI was that very day game for me..
My score is here..

Nomination for KDT
At last the KDT arrives!!
Last time I missed it, this time I'll try my best to get into it.
Here's a quick little intro.
Name : Rito
Occupation : Software professional ( work-ex of 2+ years)
Academics : 91 % in X, 85 % in XII, 7.96 CGPA ( B.Tech in CSE)
Enjoyed my college life to the fullest, made some great friends there, and did everything apart from writing programs and algorithms
Got placed through campus, thought life was a dream, and was pretty much satisfied with myself.
A small group of people in our college started preparing for CAT when we were in 3rd year. We ( me and my gang) literally ridiculed them. "Look at those bookworms" we used to say.
Fast forward 1 year, I was already sick and tired of the industry. Life became a drag, working for 10-12 hrs per day, returning home at 12 became my regular routine. At that juncture, I suddenly decided to write CAT. Started preparing....but couldn't prepare that much.....and looking back now I admit that I wasn't serious enough. Mock scores fluctuated from 88-96.....VA was the only section I regularly cleared the cut-off.
Result : CAT 2008 : 93.92
2009 : This year though, I started relatively early. I knew I had to work a lot lot harder to push that percentile from 94 to 99+. There's no point writing the CAT if you don't aim for the IIMs( personal opinion).
Started to follow PG religiously ...specially the Official quant thread and Numbers systems thread. Tried to contribute whenver I had an opportunity. Met some great minds and friends over here. I just love PG nowadays.
Regarding mock scores, decent till this point, though can be much much better. QA, VA are my strength, DI is my nemesis( I think almost everybody knows that now lol)
mocks till now :
AIMCAT
No. ________%ile_________ AIR
1020__________99.35_________109
1019__________95.21_________1632
1018
1017__________99.07_________239
1015__________97.16_________864
1014__________97.75_________741
1013__________96.37_________811
1012__________97.73_________696
1011__________98.22_________397
1010__________95.04_________1326
SIMCAT
No. ________%ile_________ AIR
1____________99.31___________NA
2____________96.53___________NA
Why KDT :
I think a team of like-minded people always fare better than an individual person. Success and despair should be shared. I have already met some nice people in kolkata, looking forward to befriend even more. I am ready to help any puy if he/she needs anything.Totally a team player, the only positive thing I have learned from this industry I think.
So here ends my post. Even if I am not selected, I'll follow this thread with avid interest. Let's make KDT the best team this year.
Cheers!!!

for this session,till now i have jst appeared for 2 mocks...none of them sound that gud...since i ended up with(7*percentile)....still i know i can do justice with myself as well as the mocks too....by not letting myself down...and to end up with an IIM...and also in order to make my profile suitable for KDT

hi all,
things are taking place in pg at a war footing
well here i'm to nominate myself and the sole reason why i did'nt want to be part of udt'09 was this thread only
MY PROFILE:-
NAME-Abhishek Guha Thakurta
GRADUATION-B.COM(ACC & FIN), PURSUING CHARTERED ACCOUNTANCY (PE-II)
EXTRA CURRICS- TRAINED SWIMMER , PLAYING GRAND ACOUSTIC PIANO FOR THE PAST 14 YRS FROM JOHN W SCHAUM SCHOOL OF MUSIC ,QUIZ ENTHUSIAST, was a member of little india performing arts society--where i contributed the background music score of a documentary
ACHIEVEMENTS TILL DATE- national level prizes for quizzing- ranging from BITM,aditya birla achievers and a few more
got an all india rank of 7 in chartered accountancy-(pe 1 -known as cpt) , had a district record in swimming (freestyle),and few other prizes
apart from that i have a high octane interest in military and defence strategy...contributed posts in bharat rakshak ,india defence, loves to watch documentaries
well moving to a more serious note on my achivemnts from cat -- i have committed myself entirely to this for this year...
all round the way i had remained quite a perrenial underachiever when it came to my acads--but bygones are bygones and i want to start everything on a fresh note
and this year i have only one aim---to crack the cat--with full gutso ,
all of u might have heard the jargon --actions speak better thn the words..so i don't want to excruciate you puys towads my relative insanity -- in why i want to do it
the thing is quite simple and loud -- either i get rejected or accepted my determination will remain strong as ever in achieving my goal

Here goes my Nomination for KDT '09
Intro -
Name - Kaushal
PG Nick - KAC8L591
City - Kolkata
Company - TCS Kolkata
I have completed my BE in Electrical engineering from BVP pune with first class distinction in 2006.I was 4th in my university.After completing my graduation I joined TCS on 9/11 2006 and since then I am working with TCS Kolkata in ERU domain.
Apart from this,I was a professional Chess player with best ever ELO rating of 2310 in 2006 . I am still associated with PDCA(Pune district Chess Association). I was a gold medalist in All India inter-Engg Chess Tournament held at IT BHU Varanasi in 2006.I have Represented myself as the Captain of my university chess team for three consecutive years in All India inter University Chess Tournament.
Mock Scores 09 -
The link is there with my Signature...My percentile as of now is in the Range between 92 to 98 with one or two Exception.Not yet in 99 range as I am trying with variuos strategy.....Will be in 99 Range within next 5 Mocks..Still lots of improvement is needed in VA.....
My Unfinished Journey to CAT -
CAT 2007 - My first official attempt to CAT with 0% Preparation and 100 percent confidence. Wanted to crack this Billi in my first attempt.
Nov 18th 07 - Aaj to Phod ke aana hai, attempted around 60 odd out of 75 questions in total and after exam.I was confident also, I think I have done it.......
January Second Week 08 - QA = 2 marks...LDI = 14 Marks , VA = -4 OA = 12.... Some 30 Odd percentile tha..Saade Sapne kahi kho gaye, haye hum kiya se kiya ho gaye...........................Didnt appear in any other exam this season and totally concentrated on my Job, Got an Onsite offer from TCS in April 08 and I rejected the offer not because of CAT 08(After Jan second week in 08 , I never thought that i will appear CAT any more) but coz of very BAD profile offered to me at onsite.......Sometimes around mid June 08, I was literally frustrated in IT industry with no growth, no more onsite due to Global recession...
..Finally decided that this is not the place where i want to see myself after 5 years down the lane......Only option left for me was to go for my dream. CAT 08 - I m coming...........
CAT 2008 - My First serious attempt to CAT.......Joined TIME Classroom @ Salt lake.......Started with 50 %ile in AIMCAT and reached 99 %ile by 903(90+ around 7 or 8 times ).......Best AIR was 317....I filled all other exam form(XAT,FMS,IIFT,SNAP,NMAT,JMET) this year........Applied for almost all colleges like MDI,NITIE,IMT,SPJAIN,XL,XIMB..... I was very much confident that i will make it this year...Finally the D day has arrived.
16th Nov 08 -- 9:55 AM - 40 Question in VA(First bad Symptom....) Could not decide the Time management,Started with VA, Spent around 1 hour,attempted 21 Q.., then came to DI - attempted 8 Q.... By this time i already came to know that its all over this year...and then came to QA - attempted 8 Q only....Its all over for me.... By evening, I checked the solution....and Here goes my Score DI- (8C,0W) = 32,QA - (8c, 0w) = 32 and then came to VA/RC...attempted 9 in Rc (8C,1w) and then i tasted the Sweet poison of English grammar......(2C,11W)......EU - (10C,11W) = 29......OA = 93.....Went into a mental trauma after that and spoiled each and every exam that year......Didnt get a single call....
What I learned from this CAT?
Expect the Unexpected.....The X factor were always missing in MOCks....
If you could not perform in CAT that does not mean you cannot crack any other Exam....Same year you can do well in other Exam also.......
Most people fail not because lack of knowledge, but they fail to perform under Pressure.......
Dont Judge yourself with your Mock Score......
Dont ever think that it is the end of life.............
CAT 2008 has changed my life.....It has given me everything. I am now more determined, more foccussed towards my ambition.......... Sooner or later I will be there.........
CAT 2009 - This time m going to my dream B school.................
Why I want to Join KDT -
What is the difference between BLACKI and not to be a BLACKI....The answer is difference of two Question at max on D day.. We all know that the most of the puys here are extremely talented then
why these two question should decide our fate.......These thing can easily be eliminated in a team of like-minded people... We can share our strength and weaknesses to all puys... We can motivate each other to achieve our dream..... We can set example for our Juniors also....
At last I would like to say only one thing, if given chance i will prove my worth for this Team......
We Cheers for KDT.......
and at last Thanks to all Puys for reading this long post............
Hi!
I am not sure whether I am allowed to post here. But unless I try I'll never know.
So another season begins. New dreams, new aspirations and a new journey. I am proud to say that I was a part of KDT 08 and learnt a lot under the tutelage of our Kaptaan (rik) and my team-mates. I still cherish the memories and the learnings of my CAT prep days.
Welcome aboard! Wish you all the luck :)
Regards,
Rahul
