And Arnav, I aint very sure of the fact that people who know your worth dont care about ur GPA. I just wish it were true. <BR/>And true while I feel happy for A as well for Vibhor and Varun Sud last year (It was really great); I am also sad that some other people who might have had made it as well, didnt get a chance. And as for me, I never liked having a good GPA. I am happy the way it is. Such outbursts probably do betray what I feel abt CG.zubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620005936352211418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13211859.post-1135494377702151822005-12-25T12:36:00.000+05:302005-12-25T12:36:00.000+05:30I'm surprised with the way Arnav maintains the ope...I'm surprised with the way Arnav maintains the open secret in this comment. But I agree with the rest of his comment. As for the post, well Zubin, u are right for most of it, but I dont see any oint in getting frustrated any more. <BR/>Even if we call it worthless, which of us wouldn't have liked to have a better CG? It's just that we don't have it, and now it's too late.<BR/><BR/>As for A, yes, he deserves the job well, being the kind of person he is. <BR/>Also if both of you look closer, there are other people, esp some females, who have got a job they just don't fit, but they have a GPA to go with it.<BR/><BR/>Life is tough right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13211859.post-1135375578920450862005-12-24T03:36:00.000+05:302005-12-24T03:36:00.000+05:30@ Arnav One thing is that we would definitely meet...@ Arnav <BR/>One thing is that we would definitely meet again.

They want capable people, and unfortunately they normally interpret it as high GPA. But they also want people nice enough to impress their clients, and someone they would want to work with. The fact that these people found A a more capable person than other people with much higher GPAs and also considered him a person nice enough to fit into their work culture, contrary to the opinion of many people who have known A, probably made B as elated as he sounded. A good CG and a fabulous extra-curricular record wouldn't take one very far after the shortlist if the person himself is not worth it. I believe it also shows that all is not wrong with the recruitment process of these companies, even if it may not be perfect. <BR/><BR/>And such outbursts of frustration betray the importance the author gives to GPAs. People who know your worth don't care about your GPA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
