Some interesting facts from IIMB new batch profile...

I came across this interesting page on the IIMB results site. You can access the full document here.

A few observations about the IIMB batch profile:

1. 67 females made it as compared to 321 males. That's less than 18%. I guess things are a lot better than having 1 girl in my batch of 42 at IIMK in 1997-99!
2. Engineers made a killing at IIMB with 92% seats, up from 89% last year. Out of these Engineers, an astonishing 31% are from IITs, and 22% are from NITs! As I keep saying to any non-Engineer, there are still 30 seats which went to non-Engineers. And you only need one of them!
3. A total of 117 freshers reached the institute this year. This counters one of the most disputed myths about IIMs only taking Work-Ex junta!
4. Another way of putting the above is that fact that there were 328 out of 388 people who are below 25 years of age. The range is 19-35 years! I am sure the 19 year olds will feel a generation difference;)
5. Now, this one is my favourite: The lowest Graduation Percentage in the current batch is 66.20% in the general category, and 54% in the SC category! That does away the myth of only Toppers getting into the IIMs all the time...for the record, I had 52% in my Graduation, and I was not the lowest marks in my IIMK batch :)

Hope this will be taken in the right spirit! I will try to get other IIM data as well, and see what do they throw up.

अलंकृत: In Honour of Our Successful Students

We held an event called "Alankrit" to honour the 28 IIM converts as well as the other institutes and invited all our students to be also present. The Pune weather doesn't give too much scope to do much before 6 pm, but later on it becomes quite pleasant. Though the crowd was thinner than expected, probably due the IPL, we were able to engage them with some quizzes and contests. The Successful students spoke at length about their preparation, and the contribution CL family had made to their lives.

It was quite emotional when we gave away certificates (attached here) as well as books as gifts. The best, of course, was towards the end when our younger brigade from the BBA/ LST Prep batches forced all of us to the dancing floor. You can view the snaps below and on our blog clpune.blogspot.com.



Thanks to everyone for making it a great success!
