Done by CAT................................

12th Jan 2011

It was 2 AM, when I woke up. Picked my phone and checked the CAT result site for my score. The site was not up at that moment. Went to sleep only to woke up again at 4 AM to check the result. The site was functioning, however it wasn't showing my result. There could have been some issue. Slept again.

Woke up at 7 AM. Didn't went to gym. I was very anxious to know how I had performed in my first ever CAT appearance. To my disbelief, the site wasn't displaying my result, in other words it was taking lot of time to fetch the data from server resulting in connection time out cause of high network traffic. Thats how a geek can define things. For hours it seemed as time has stopped and I am stuck.

My friends who had seen their score were asking for mine. I had nothing to give them back. Finally I got my score card ast around 4 PM. Result was not as per my expectation. People say that CAT never cease to surprise and that's exactly what had happened. This time they came up with variable marking system based on the level of difficulty of the question. And that expains perfectly why I scored low.

I wasn't expecting to top the chart or calls from IIM. However, I would have been glad if my score would have said anything between 75-85 percentile which was not the case. I scored on 55 percentile. With this goes my dream of going to college to do Power Management. Now I won't even get a call to attend the GD and PI rounds. All my hopes are dead. There is no light at end of tunnel. But life goes on and so do I. Got to switch to plan B now. Have to look for job in other companies to get a good salary hike cause my present sucks. Have to start reading the theoretical stuff and mug up hell lot of information and data.

The year has started with a bad note for me and I intend to end this with a good one. Bring it on..........
