JEE Advanced to have “Why MBA?” a compulsory question

After months of deliberation, research, and analysis, the IIT Council has decided to include “Why MBA?” as a compulsory essay question in the JEE Advanced Exam.
Aspiring IITians will have to clear this question, which will have more weightage than the lesser relevant subjects like Physics, Chemistry, or Maths.
Justifying this decision, Prof. Arvind Swamy, the head of the examination committee said, “IIT engineers are among the nerdiest brainiest creatures around and after their bachelors, most of them aim for MBA education to enter the world of consultancy and finance. However, we have seen quite a few of them not getting into MBA colleges since they can’t answer the ‘Why MBA?’ question in the Personal Interview round. In fact, their reaction to this question is similar to Suresh Raina’s against a short ball; bamboozled. Hence, we want to ensure that only the students with right focus enter the IITs.”
Why MBA
The only thing an engineer could write when asked the question
“The average percentage of IITians in MBA class of 2012 across India was 83.52%. However, in the class of 2013, it has fallen down to 79.91%. Such a steep drop cannot be taken lightly and we decided to address the matter before it becomes a problem out of hand like that show MTV Roadies has become for humanity,” added Swamy underlying the seriousness of the problem.
When Faking News contacted the government, the Minister of State for HRD Mr. Shashi Tharoor, who was on his way to inaugurate IIM Cherapunji, the 117th IIM, said, “The question will be juxtaposed in such a way to enhance the symbiotic relationship between engineering and management.”
(this reporters could not figure out what that quote meant, something that can be juxtaposed with his Verbal Ability percentile in CAT 2012).
While the government’s response ambiguous, the decision has found clear support among the student community.
“Right since I saw Yami Gautam in the movie Vicky Donor, I wanted to be a banker and had set my eyes on entering the IIT, as it is the pre-requisite for an MBA, which is a pre-requisite for a banking job. With this decision, I will have like minded-people around me and we can prepare for our MBA summer placement from the 1st year of engineering itself,” said Gaurav, trying to strum his guitar and sing Paani Da Rang in Himesh Reshammiya style.
Mr. Gharjode, who runs the popular matrimonial site www.shuddvivah.com also supported this step. “Over the years, we have seen that just having a BE/B.Tech degree is considered worse than being a Tushar Kapoor fan. An internal survey among all the female profile indicated that a guy with BE + MBA sells like hot cake evince maximum interest. In fact, IIT + IIM is a big turn-on positive among the prospective brides these days.”
Amidst all this hoopla, Prof. Ponytail Chaudhary has announced that he is going to start engineering colleges to ensure steady inflow of raw materials students in his MBA college (which provides maximum global exposure). He is even writing a book regarding this. The title of the book is “Lay Your Eggs Before Counting Your Chickens”.

Kota Topper Story: Shitikanth IIT JEE 2008 Topper

Image
I gave JEE in 2009 and used to hear about this "topper" guy from the 2nd floor of my hostel. Topper of A1. I didn't pay too much attention. Then one day after my dinner my friends asked me if I noticed who was sitting next to me during the meal. I said no. They said it was the same guy. I didn't care much there either. I saw him for the first time in a cricket field. The lean stick-figure boy who didn't speak much. He had a ball in his hand and a single electric pole was being used as the wicket. I was fielding. I saw him bowl and all my senses absorbed after that was the clattering sound of the ball on the pole. That's when I was introduced Sitikanth. And the stories began! Once during class, V K Bansal (THE BANSAL of Bansal Classes) told us a story of when 2 weeks before JEE Sitikanth came to him, dejected and confused. Saying he had nothing to do. Bansal Sir gave him the toughest integration problems he had, thinking this should be enough to keep him a

The Most Brilliant Students of Kota Ever

Anuj Nagpal(AIR 190):  This guy was the most intelligent person I ever met. In hostel, he was one of the most fun loving guys, he only used to do the assignments of mathematics (only because it was taught to us by the director of the coaching). Though I was not in his hostel but my closest friends were in his hostel and used to tell me all the stuff they did at night. Late night chats, discussion about random things (which had no relation with JEE at all). There was a time when all feared Nagpal and used to say "Nagpal is gonna come and he is going to spoil our full night." That guy was much different from all other people I have ever met.  He got an AIR 190 only because we weren't taught inorganic chemistry, else he would have got much better rank than this.  He is AIR190 in JEEAdv 2014, AIR190(State rank 2) in JEEMain 2014, BITSAT score-398, CBSE 12th %- 97.6. Rajdeep(AIR 1700 in first attempt, AIR 1200 in second attempt):  This was the coolest guy I ever met, studie

How much You can get by Selling your IIT JEE RANK ??

Shubham Tulsiani says This is quite a common practice among institutes so I would like to address the trends too apart from the personal experiences and I'll also write on one aspect the question didn't explicitly ask  - offers  before  JEE Pre-JEE (class 12th) I had a couple of 'offers' - Some people from Akash Institute came over to my place to 'gift' me books to help me prepare for JEE. All I had to do was - guess what - yes, sign a form ! I was amazed at how insistent they were and despite me saying I didnt need the books and wouldn't sign,  they made me keep the books. They then visited / called me about 5 more times to get my signature (until I finally returned the unused books on their last visit and told my hostel guard to not allow them back). I later learnt that they had been giving these 'gifts' to some of my (well performing) batchmates in Bansal Classes too and unfortunately a lot of them had signed up too. I was also on
