This post is wholly dedicated for my friend Manoj Krishna, who broke a most elusive jinx this past week. Apart from the multiple treats at restaurants, its pretty evident he is one happy person now.
Beginning in early July, 2009 he sought to get placed in a reputed, if not high paying, company through the placement cell of our college and lets just say things never worked out for him! He sat through the placement procedure of nearly every company and all he got was the rejects at various points of the procedure:-
Aptitude test rejects

Aptitude test rejects
- TCS
- Hewlett Packard
- Dr Reddy Labs
- HSBC Bank
Group Discussion
- Accenture
- Coca Cola
- Jindal Steel
Personal Interview
- I-Gate
- Globallogic
- Patni
- L&T
- L&T Valdel
- BPCL
- Saipem
- Engineers India Ltd
- MRPL
- ACC Cement
Finally he decided to give the GATE an attempt and it turned out to be the best decision he tool with an AIR of 125 in Chemical engineering. Oh but the jinx was not done yet...
Tried out for National University of Singapore but gave up in the middle due to several IIT interview calls. Then went to IIT Delhi, but failed to pass the interview. A most hideous turn of events when he was selected to do the M.S (Research) at IITB but later learnt it to be a non-degree, 1 year program with no career help from it! Then an interview at IISc which was botched up in the 1st place but got a further degradation due to Arati not mentioning to anyone in class about her admit at Michigan State University but the IISc interview panel knew it.
Finally he got a call from IIT Madras to do an MS program there, and after thorough checking into it- He accepted it!! Congrats Manoj, and hope you do very well there indeed (Still waiting for the second treat :P)
