AJ'z thoughts arena!!

Recently I have witnessed and participated in the admission processes of different MBA colleges. Each one of them was different from the other in a way or ny!!
Here..in this article, I'l give you a description of each of them and also rate them on there performance. Call it that writer inside me looking for an opportunity to jump outside every now and then.
I would like my readers to make it a point that this rating in no way is the rating of the college, I mean I was there to seek admission myself..who am I to rate the premier institutes?! :P
This rating is all about my one day admission process at the college..the way the entire process was carried out and the factors involved in it. So...don't loose track from the topic!:)
Broadly, I hav decided the entire rating chart into 4 divisions -
1. ARRANGEMENTS - Includes the campus navigation and the guidance provided to us on the way to main venue of the process.It also includes the accommodation (if any) and seating facilities.

2. HOSPITALITY - The facilities provided to the visitors. When I say facilities, it means the refreshments, the material help and other expenses incurred by the institute on the visitors. We all know how much important is the free lunch after a tiresome day...nothing less than a feel of heaven!! ;)

3. WELCOME & VOLUNTEERING - This includes the nature of volunteers towards the visitors; there attempts to ease the candidates and keep them relaxed during the entire process. Lets not miss the interest of hosts in solving the problems faced by the visitors; lets face it, people ask some really stupid questions. Here are some questions that I overheard "which way to the washroom?", "when do i get to eat? is it free?? really??", "how much chance do i stand to get selected for admission?"...so on...it takes a lot of patience and courage to answer questions like that repeatedly. We shall have a 2 line silence here to all those volunteers who became a victim of such questions!


:P
:P
moving on...

4. INTERVIEW PANEL - This is an important factor. It shows how serious the college is about the level of candidates it selects. This is a long term factor that also decides the fate of the nature of the college..believe me!
The jury that decides the final admission needs to be an achiever in itself. I mean, you don't want your admission fate to be decided by the janitor of the college. (some of us might even prefer that).
;)

Each of these divisions has a weightage of its own..not necessarily equal. Its not always constant too..the weightage changes depending on how badly a college performed in any of its divisions. So, the final score of the institute is not just an arithmetic sum of its division score. The addition is so complex that even I forget the formula at times, so I am not going to write it down here. Ofcourse you can demand for the formula by exercising your RIGHT to INFORMATION, but you know what?
I AM STILL NOT GONNA MENTION IT! HA...:P

Anyways...tighten your seat belts readers, cos I am taking you on a journey to few of the top colleges in the country. I had to prepare for 1 entire year to get there, but you lucky bastards are going to get a glimpse without an effort other than of course reading!!
HAVE FUNN....!!!
