Education Coaching academy for CAT helps students with optimistic list Our Bureau New Delhi, Nov 21 Wannabe managers were not the only ones sweating it out at the Common Admission Test 2007. Keeping them company were more than sixty professors of Career Launcher, the coaching academy for aspiring management students. Faculty members will have nothing to boast about in their score cards, they don’t really attempt all the questions except what’s in their expertise. They were there to compile data, interpret it and provide answers for students to check – an exercise overseen by Mr Arindam Lahiri, Director (Academics), at Career Launcher. Students could thus get a prediction which, according to Mr Arjun Wadwa, Marketing Head, Career Launcher, saves them money and heartache by narrowing down the number of colleges to apply for. ApplicationsOn an average, students apply to 10-20 management schools, says Mr Wadwa. Topping the preference list are the Indian Institutes of Management. Although the institutes do not have an official cut-off mark, Career Launcher’s analysis has worked out cut-off levels for different institutes depending on its assessment of CAT 2007. The academy, which operates 125 centres across the country, is offering its students a list of “realistic institutes” and an “optimistic list” too, for those who have larger budgets to apply to many more colleges. There is even a list of “back -up” colleges just in case scores are not that great. This year 2.3 lakh aspirants sat for the exam – more than a 30 per cent increase over last year’s figure of 1.8 lakh. More Stories on : Education
