Yeh zindagi bhi kya kya humko dekhlati hai
Sapno ki dhundli raah mein
Yeh Zindagi bhi Humein kahan le ke aajati hai
Ek anjani si chaah mein

Jane humko kya paana hai
Socho kya hai apni manzil

Samjhane kab mana hai
Dekho karta zid hai yeh dil
Choone hai Taare ise
Chahiye Saaare ise

Yeh zindagi bhi kitni baatein keh jati hai
Ek seedhi saadhi baat mein
Yeh zindagi bhi kyun itne khwaab sajati hai
Har suni suni raat mein

Khawabon mein koi armaan hai
Poocho dil se armaan kya hai
Muskil hai ya woh aaaasaan hai
sun lo dil to yeh kehta hai

Choone hai Taare ise
Chahiye Saaare ise

Jo palko ke tale
Hai apne sapne leke chale
HAi kehdo woh chale sambhal ke

Na karna koi gile
Kahin jo thokar kahin to lage
Ke sapne tute aason chalke

Jo palko ke tale

HAi kehdo woh chale sambhal ke

Na karna koi gile
Kahin jo thokar kahin to lage

Data sufficiency is a unique type of math question created especially for the GMAT. Each item consists of the questions itself followed by two numbered statements. The examinee must decide whether the statements — either individually or in combination — provide enough information to answer the question.

(A) If statement 1 alone is sufficient to answer the question, but statement 2 alone is not sufficient.

(B) If statement 2 alone is sufficient to answer the question, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient.

(C) If both statements together are needed to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient.

(D) If either statement by itself is sufficient to answer the question.

(E) If not enough facts are given to answer the question.

Analytical Writing Assessment

The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) section of the test consists of two essays. In the first, the student must analyze an argument and in the second the student must analyze an issue. Each essay must be written within 30 minutes and is scored on a scale of 0-6. The essay is read by two readers who each mark the essay with a grade from 0-6, in 0.5 point increments with a mean score of 4.1. If the two scores are within one point of each other, they are averaged. If there is more than one point difference, the essays are read by a third reader.

The first reader is Intellimetric, a proprietary computer program developed by Vantage Learning, which analyzes creative writing and syntax of more than 50 linguistic and structural features.The second and third readers are humans, who evaluate the quality of the examinee’s ideas and his or her ability to organize, develop and express ideas with relevant support. While mastery of the conventions of written English factor into scoring, minor errors are expected, and evaluators are trained to be sensitive to examinees whose first language is not English.

Most business schools do not weigh the AWA as heavily as the verbal and quantitative sections of the test. Some schools ignore the AWA altogether.

Each of the two essays in the Analytical Writing part of the test is graded on a scale of 0 (the minimum) to 6 (the maximum):

• 0 An essay that is totally illegible or obviously not written on the assigned topic.
• 1 An essay that is fundamentally deficient.
• 2 An essay that is seriously flawed.
• 3 An essay that is seriously limited.
• 4 An essay that is merely adequate.
• 5 An essay that is strong.
• 6 An essay that is outstanding.

Total Score

The “Total Score”, comprising the quantitative and verbal sections, is exclusive of the analytical writing assessment (AWA), and ranges from 200 to 800. About two-thirds of test takers score between 400 and 600. The score distribution resembles a bell curve with a standard deviation of approximately 100 points, meaning that the test is designed for 68% of examinees to score between 400 and 600, while the median score was originally designed to be near 500. The 2005/2006 mean score was 533.

The quantitative and verbal sections comprise a computer-adaptive test. The first question may be difficult. The next few questions in each section may be around the 500 level. If the examinee answers correctly, the next questions are harder. If the examinee answers incorrectly, the next questions are easier. The questions are pulled from a large pool of questions and delivered depending on the student’s running score. These questions are regularly updated to prevent them from being compromised by students recording questions.

Implementation of TCP/IP Stack and HTTP server on 8051 microcontroller

This project is officially called “Integration of a Light Weight TCP/IP Stack with a HTTP server for an 8051 microcontroller used for Remote Data Access”. The objective of this project is to design and implement a TCP/IP stack and a HTTP server for an Intel 8051 microcontroller. The requirements of this project being that the micro controller must be able to be accessed through the Internet via HTTP, thus enabling us to monitor the working of the micro controller from a remote location. The project was completed as part of 8th semester B.E. course. This project was completed under the guidance of Dr. R Bhaktavatsalam, SERC, IISc, Bangalore.

RNF (RNF is Not Flashget)

RNF is a download manager. It splits the file to be downloaded into parts and downloads the parts in parallel. It uses the Berkley sockets API to create TCP connections with the server. The program itself is composed of ten worker processes per download and one supervisor process to report status. The lower layer abstractions are encapsulated in objects. Higher level program abstractions make use of these objects. The project was completed as part of 7th semester B.E. course.

Polygon morphing and Quake II Model Animation

The project exploits graphics capabilities provided by the Java language. It has two parts. In the first part, the project demonstrates application of linear interpolation technique to morph between two polygons. The second part demonstrates a practical application of polygon morphing. This is done by animating a set of Quake II models. The linear interpolation algorithm is applied to create smooth transitions between key frames of models. This project was done as part of 7th semester B.E. course.

E-Auction

E-Auction is a dynamic database driven site. It is an auction site, where users can put items for sell, buy items, manipulate items they have put on sale etc. It consists of dynamic pages written in perl (using Common Gateway Interface). It has some rudimentary session management features. The project was completed as part of 7th Semester B.E. course.

Face Recognition using Neural Networks

This was a project is a part of a Biometric security system. It can be given a face in real time and it tries to match the given face to a face in the database. It was done in a 3 people team of which I was a member. It used neural networks for the pattern matching. It used Win32 API to create frontend, TWAIN framework to aquire images from a digital camera. It was coded completely in C++. You can download the windows installer of the project sans the source code. The installer is 3.77MB.

R H Factor

This is a Graphics editor ( A MS Paint clone ) for DOS. It was designed as per syllabus prescribed by VTU for completion of VI Sem. It is completely coded in C++ with elegant Object Oriented Design. It has the following features. It was made to resemble MS Paint bundled with Windows XP :

• Cut, Copy, Paste a selected region
• Undo, Redo upto 25 operations ( is a compile time constant )
• Resize, Rotate and Clip ( Clear ) Options
• Windows XP Style interface
• 256 Color mode operation
• Support for PCX file format
• Drawing support for Spiral, freehand, line, bezier curve, Polygon, Text, Ellipse, Rectangle, Brush and Spray Paint
• Supports picking background and foreground colors

The project requires fastgraph graphics library. It can be downloaded from www.fastgraph.com. It is extremely powerful library and allows 256 color mode in DOS. It is far more versatile than TC++ Standard BGI interface.

After 2005, GMAC is administrating the exam. On January 1, 2006, GMAC transitioned vendors to a combination of ACT Inc, which develops the test questions and CAT software, and Pearson Vue, which delivers the exam at testing centers worldwide.

On June 23, 2008, a cheating scandal was acknowledged by GMAC involving some 6,000 prospective MBA students who subscribed to the website ScoreTop.com and may have viewed “live” questions in-use on the GMAT. GMAC has announced severe measures that include invalidating the scores of subscribers, notifying schools who have received their scores, and banning them from future resits of the test. On June 27, GMAC reassured applicants that only those who knowingly cheated using Scoretop’s website would be affected.  The Wall Street Journal later reported that the scores of 84 test takers were canceled in the wake of the scandal.

Also, in response to cases of “proxy” test-taking, where students pay somebody else to take the test on their behalf, GMAC is going to be introducing Fujitsu PalmSecure (the palm vein scanning technology) at testing centers this year. Centers in Korea and India will be getting the palm scanning devices first, followed by the United States in Fall of 2008. GMAC plans to have them integrated at all testing centers by May of 2009.

Registration and preparation

The test taker can register in either of the following two ways:

• Online at mba.com test registration by credit card
• By calling one of the test centers listed on mba.com

To schedule a test, an appointment must be made at one of the designated test centers. While it is possible to make the appointment even just a few days before you would like to take the test, it is better to schedule a few weeks in advance to ensure an appointment that is convenient for the student.

Third party companies have different test preparation options available, which may include self-study using GMAT books, classroom GMAT preparation courses (live or online), online preparation courses, or private tutoring.

Other notes

• Calculators are not allowed in the GMAT. Calculations need to be done by hand.

• Digital watches worn by the test takers may be confiscated for the duration of the test.

Why GMAT????

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a master’s degree in business administration, which attracts people from a wide range of academic disciplines. The MBA designation originated in the United States, emerging from the late 19th century as the country industrialized and companies sought out scientific approaches to management. The MBA degree has since achieved worldwide recognition.

Accreditation bodies exist specifically for MBA programs to ensure consistency and quality of graduate business education, and business schools in many countries offer MBA programs tailored to full-time, part-time, executive, and distance learning students, with specialized concentrations.

Best of luck.. study hard.. you’ll mint when through !!!

here are the top B-schools

USA

The final score is not based solely on the last question the examinee answers (i.e. - the level of difficulty of questions reached through the computer-adaptive presentation of questions). The algorithm used to build a score is more complicated than that. The examinee can make a silly mistake and answer incorrectly and the computer will recognize that item as an anomaly. If the examinee misses the first question his score will not necessarily fall in the bottom half of the range.

Also, questions left blank (that is, those not reached) hurt the examinee more than questions answered incorrectly. This is a major contrast to the SAT, which has a wrong-answer penalty. Each test section also includes several experimental questions, which do not count toward the examinee’s score, but are included to judge the appropriateness of the item for future administrations.

Verbal and Quantitative Section scores range from 0 to 60. Analytical Writing Assessment scores range from 0 to 6 and represent the average of the ratings from the two GMAT essays. The essays are scored differently from the Verbal and Quantitative sections and are not included in the total score.

Required Scores

Most schools do not publish a minimum acceptable score or detailed statistics about the scores achieved by applicants. However, schools do generally publish the average and median score of their latest intake, which can be used as a guide.

At nearly all of the top business schools that are commonly listed in popular magazines and ranking services, the scores will average in the upper 600s or low 700s. The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, commonly regarded as one of the top business schools in the U.S., reports an average score of 715; Harvard Business School, another top tier U.S. business school, reports a 2006 average of 707. Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management reports an average GMAT of 700, with approximately 75 percent of enrolled students scoring between 650 and 740. At the Indian School of Business the class of 2009 reports an average score of 714.INSEAD, a leading global business school with a highly multinational student body, reports a 2005 average of 705.

The Triple Nine Society uses the GMAT for one of their admissions test. A score of at least 750 is required to join the Triple Nine Society.

It may be possible to overcome a low test score with impressive real world accomplishments, good undergraduate performance, outstanding references and/or connections, particularly strong application essays, or coming from an underrepresented group.

History of the Graduate Management Admission Test

In 1953, the organization now called the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) began as an association of nine business schools, whose goal was to develop a standardized test to help business schools select qualified applicants. In the first year it was offered, the assessment (now known as the Graduate Management Admission Test), was taken just over 2,000 times; in recent years, it has been taken more than 200,000 times annually. Initially used in admissions by 54 schools, the test is now used by more than 1,500 schools and 1,800 programs worldwide.

There is more .. keep watching this space…

• Critical Reasoning

This tests logical thinking. Critical thinking items present an argument that the test taker is asked to analyze. Questions may ask test takers to draw a conclusion, to identify assumptions, or to recognize strengths or weaknesses in the argument. It presents brief statements or arguments and ask to evaluate the form or content of the statement or argument. Questions of this type ask the examinee to analyze and evaluate the reasoning in short paragraphs or passages. For some questions, all of the answer choices may conceivably be answers to the question asked. The examinee should select the best answer to the question, that is, an answer that does not require making assumptions that violate common sense standards by being implausible, redundant, irrelevant, or inconsistent.

• Reading Comprehension

This tests the ability to read critically. Reading comprehension questions relate to a passage that is provided for the examinee to read. The passage can be about almost anything, and the questions about it test how well the examinee understands the passage and the information in it. As the name implies, it tests the ability of the examinee to understand the substance and logical structure of a written selection. The GMAT uses reading passages of approximately 200 to 350 words, covering topics from social sciences, biological sciences, physical sciences, and business. Each passage has three or more questions based on its content. The questions ask about the main point of the passage, about what the author specifically states, about what can be logically inferred from the passage, and about the author’s attitude or tone.

Quantitative Section

The quantitative section consists of 37 multiple choice questions, which must be answered within 75 minutes. There are two types of questions: problem solving and data sufficiency. The quantitative section is scored from 0 to 60 points. Over the past 3 years, the mean score has been 35.6/60; scores above 50 and below 7 are rare.

Most international MBA programs take only the quantitative section into account, as the degrees they offer will not be taught in English. These areas normally demand a higher quantitative score and ignore the verbal sections.

• Problem Solving

This tests the quantitative reasoning ability. Problem-solving questions present multiple-choice problems in arithmetic, basic algebra, and elementary geometry. The task is to solve the problems and choose the correct answer from among five answer choices. Some problems will be plain mathematical calculations; the rest will be presented as real life word problems that will require mathematical solutions.

Numbers: All numbers used are real numbers.

Figures: The diagrams and figures that accompany these questions are for the purpose of providing useful information in answering the questions. Unless it is stated that a specific figure is not drawn to scale, the diagrams and figures are drawn as accurately as possible. All figures are in a plane unless otherwise indicated.

• Data Sufficiency

This tests the quantitative reasoning ability using an unusual set of directions. The examinee is given a question with two associated statements that provide information that might be useful in answering the question. The examinee then must determine whether either statement alone is sufficient to answer the question; whether both are needed to answer the question; or whether there is not enough information given to answer the question.

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT, pronounced G-mat) is a computer adaptive standardized test in the English language for measuring aptitude to succeed academically in graduate business studies. Business schools commonly use the test as one of many selection criteria for admission into an MBA program. It is given at various locations around the world. Throughout North America and in many international locations, the GMAT is administered only via computer. In those international locations where an extensive network of computers has not yet been established, the GMAT is offered either at temporary computer-based testing centers on a limited schedule or as a paper-based test (given once or twice a year) at local testing centers. As of 2007, the fee to take the test is U.S. $250 worldwide.

The Test

The exam measures basic verbal, mathematical and analytical writing skills that the examinee has developed over a long period of time in his/her education and work. Test takers are given 3.5 hours to answer questions in each of the three tested areas, and there are also two 10-minute breaks; in general, the test takes about four hours to complete. It does not measure specific knowledge of business, job skills, or subjective qualities such as motivation, creativity, and interpersonal skills. If a test taker’s first language is not English, he or she may still perform well on the exam; however, the GMAT exam may not accurately reflect the abilities of someone whose first language is not English. Business Schools with a high proportion of non-native English speaking students tend to have a lower than the average GMAT score.

Scores are valid for five years (at most institutions) from the date the test taker sits for the exam until the date of matriculation (i.e. acceptance, not until the date of application). The Stanford University Graduate School of Business website offers a “test results calculator” useful for determining the expiration date of test scores.

The maximum score that can be achieved on the exam is 800. Over the past 3 years, the mean score has been 535.2.

Verbal Section

The verbal section consists of 41 multiple choice questions, which must be answered within 75 minutes. There are three types of questions: sentence correction, critical reasoning and reading comprehension. The verbal section is scored from 0 to 60 points. Over the past 3 years, the mean has been 27.8/60; scores above 44 and below 9 are rare.

• Sentence Correction

This tests grammar and expression. Sentence correction items consist of a sentence, all or part of which has been underlined, with five associated answer choices. The test taker must choose the best way of rendering the underlined part. This question type tests the ability to recognize standard Written English. The task is to evaluate the grammar, logic, and effectiveness of a given sentence and to choose the best of several suggested revisions. Choice (A) repeats the original; the other answer choices vary. It tests the ability to recognize correct and effective expression. It follows the requirements of Standard Written English: grammar, word choice and sentence construction. The goal is to choose the answer that results in the clearest, most exact sentence and does not change the meaning of the original sentence.

7. Have a family car wash. Enlist your spouse, your kids and their friends on a Saturday to hold a car wash. Talk to local merchants who have parking lots and ask them to donate the space, or set up an assembly line on your street. By naming the event (”The Annual Jones Family Car Wash”) and highlighting an upbeat family goal (”We use this car wash to pay for the kids’ extracurricular school activities”), you give people a reason to join your cause.

8. Do gardening services. Mowing lawns is a perennial summer job for kids. If you have a mower, encourage your children to launch a business—or do it yourself. In addition, you can also weed or haul gardening rubbish to the dump (often garbage services won’t remove it).

9. Provide man-with-van services. Or, in this case, woman with van (or truck). This service is great for people who need to move a single piece of furniture or for young people who don’t have a lot of stuff. If you’re able to do moves on your own or with a helper like a friend or spouse, you can position yourself as a mother’s helper (a woman living alone might feel more comfortable having another woman moving something into or out of her home). If you don’t have a lot of physical strength, your husband and a cousin, uncle or son can do the heavy lifting and you can take care of scheduling and follow-up. A small classified ad in the local paper is an economical way to advertise.

10. Get a paper route. While we often think of paper delivery as a job for a boy on a bike, all kinds of people pick up extra cash this way. Because papers are delivered in the morning, it’s possible to complete a route before the regular workday starts, or before your kids are up. (Just make sure you catch up on your sleep by going to bed early at night!)

11. Dog walk and pet sit. Owners are always looking for reliable pet-care services. Plus, if you stay home with your kids during the day, a regular dog-walking gig is a great way to get everyone out of the house for some fresh air and earn extra money. Put the word out at pounds, the ASPCA, the local veterinarian’s and dog runs. Be prepared to provide references from anyone you’ve ever sat for before. Learn how you can also turn pet sitting into a home business.

12. Babysit. To provide regular child care in your home, you’ll often need to be accredited and registered with the state. But occasional babysitting in your home or someone else’s is more straightforward. You might already babysit for friends for free, but by reaching out in your community you can find parents whom you would feel comfortable charging a reasonable fee
