Ahemadabad: IIMs have announced that they have reached a deal with Facebook to administer the CAT online. Beginning today, users can download an application on the social media juggernaut’s website and take the test immediately. This partnership is a groundbreaking merger between social media and business school, signaling that IIMs are serious about reclaiming their position against the IIPM.
The agreement could also transform the application landscape. The first update, planned for later this year, will require an online profile snapshot to be sent with the test results. This will include status updates, embarrassing tagged photos, and a full list of fan pages. It could be troublesome if an applicant is a fan of both IIM and ISB, but applies to IIPM.
Payments for the test can be made using Facebook credits. Credits are purchased on the site, and can also be used to send gifts such as an image of Pamela Anderson… if you’re into that sort of thing. Testers should be aware that there is an additional 500INR fee for the convenience of taking the test through FB.
The announcement has triggered mixed reviews. @Player likes the news and tweets: “I’m really excited!! Now I can take the CAT while playing Teen Patti.” Others haven’t shared the same enthusiasm. @Slogger tweets: “This is egregious. It devalues both my CAT score and business degree. And no, I didn’t go to IIPM.”
There are rumors that a similar deal is being finalized through Twitter although no official announcement has been made. Myspace is also rumored to be working on a deal, but seriously, who still has an account there?

Batman identity revealed by Kite Thread
Jaipur, India: In a bizarre case of identity revelation Batman of Gotham City was found strangled in kite thread at a roof top of a household in Jaipur. Chintu,12, the youngest kid of the family was the first one to figure out his identity when his father was trying to see if the alien figure on their roof was wearing underwear over pant or not.
"Arey yeh to Batman hai, Superman thode hi hai" Chintu screamed after seeing Batman on his roof.
The incident took place when Chintu left his paper kite flying all night during kite flying festival of Makar Sankrati and Batman got attracted to one of the other Candle Kite in shape of Batman sign for help in sky. Batman misunderstanding the Candle Kite as a signal for help was rushing for rescue when Chintu's kite thread caught hold of him.
It was later revealed to our reporter Chor Mor by Batman that as he had never seen a kite before in Gotham City, he thought of this being a trap laid by Spiderman in form of his web. While struggling to find Spiderman in his futile effort, Batman wrapped the kite thread around him,got exhausted, and finally fell on Chintu's roof.
While Spiderman has not said anything officially till now but it is believed that Spiderman has secretly sent Chintu a small 'gift of appreciation' for doing something which Spiderman himself couldn't do for years. Superman has also sent a consolation prize for his father Chintamani for being a loyal fan and trying to find Superman's underwear on Batman's dress.
Meanwhile in Jaipur city Batman has become a centre of attraction with Chintu and his friends eagerly waiting for media person to cover the whole event when they will open the Batman's mask and reveal the real identity of Batman.

Chennai man files suit against a Delhite, claims the lady jumps off swimming pool whenever he dives in.
Nandambakkam, Chennai: In a classic case of discrimination against South Indians a 30 yr old man named Kandasamy Ponnusamy has filed a case against a Delhite Ritika,26.The case came into limelight when Kandasamy threatened to flash ablaze himself near Chennai Trade Centre if Ritika doesnt apologize in public and agrees to swim with him.
According to our sources Ritika was overheard telling her friend Ashwini during a Badminton session" Main iske saath ek swimming pool main nahi naha sakti. Rang chodd diya toh mera kya hoga". I cant swim with him. What if he loses his skin color. She also tried to make fun of his name distorting Kandasamy as Master(Swami) of Onion(Kanda).
Kandasamy,who is otherwise observed as a calm man, decided to file a case against Ritika in Consumer Court doubting the quality of Polish he uses. He was also successful in getting support from other men and women from nearby region using same Polish and having similar skin tone.
Even some political parties like Pattali Makkal Katchi(PMK) have come forward in full support of Kandasamy and have declared a one day bandh in Chennai. Children after hearing this news also joined the movement in hope of getting more such welcome holidays.
As told to our reporter ChoR MoR by a local resident familiar to both parties involved," The issue is very trivial and could have been sorted out much earlier if Ritika would have not sparked the row by commenting on his surname as well".
Ritika reportedly made fun of his surname by making middle finger gesture and distorting his surname 'Ponnusamy' as 'Master of Punnu' which in North India would have meant 'man with small genitals'.
Kandasamy, who is not so conversant with hindi, however misunderstood it thinking that Ritika has seen his private organ while swimming and found it tiny or Punnu. The problem caught fire when friends tried to mediate in between and Kandasamy came to know during mediation that the unfriendly gesture was not due to anything else but his surname.
Till writing this report Ritika has said sorry to Kandasamy several times and requested to withdraw the case but Kandasamy is adamant on swimming with Ritika.When contacted Ritika said" I am planning to marry soon and I can’t take chance swimming with him no matter what".
Kandasamy was not available for comments as he was preparing to set ablaze himself if Ritika doesnt agree to swim with him.

Modi sacked, ACP Pradyuman appointed interim IPL chief
Mumbai: Sidelining all tweets and sweets (cheerleaders) across the country supporting Mr. Modi, BCCI sacked Lalit Modi one day before the scheduled IPL governing council meeting, handicapping him to even take his personal belongings from the IPL office.
What is more interesting is that, during council meeting ACP Pradyuman- the CID mastermind behind solving cases by his unmatched wits was unanimously supported & appointed the new IPL Commissioner.Mr.Pradyuman,who is believed to be probing the IPL financial irregularities even before Tharoor's tweet was asked to take over as IPL commissioner with immediate effect.
As told to our reporter Chor Mor, BCCI has taken this conscious decision after evaluating Mr. Pradyuman's credentials and aptness of his name as commissioner.
"How can a common man like Modi who has never joined police force become a commissioner?" quizzed one of the BCCI members.
"Pradyuman is born with it" said the other member quoting his name ACP already has a commissioner in it.
If sources are to be believed Mr. Pradyuman himself had asked BCCI to remove Modi one day before meeting, hence not allowing Modi to play with important documents which can be of vital use during investigation.
The step taken by BCCI has not gone well with the cricketing community as many of the Cricket Gurus as well as Modi fans & followers are raising doubt on Mr. P.Man's capability as IPL commissioner.
"He doesn’t even know the spelling of cricket what to say of rules of cricket..don't blv me chk out his twitter account http://www.twitter.com/ChamatkariBaba" tweeted one of the Modi follower.
Meanwhile Modi is also not leaving any stone unturned and has attacked BCCI back. He tweets-
@ Manohar Kahaniyan: You have betrayed me my friend. Everyone knows your all stories are fake. In fact the whole magazine is fake what to say for this new one cooked by you.
@ BCCI members: You have tried to fool me by not sticking to your own date of expelling me. Now you be ready to face the consequence as well. I'll not fix the dates of any of IPL next season matches and after surprise fixing will change again without prior notice.That is what is called as Match Fixing you bunch of fools ,which I have been discussing over mail with my friends.
Air India which is already in soup for re-routing its flights for IPL players have decided not to take part in next season of IPL after the tweet and betting community is happy to know that now they have one more uncertainty to bet on.
"Now we can also bet on the date when match will be played" said Matka singh owning a stake in one of the online betting website.
Meanwhile Mr. P.Man's twitter profile unexpectedly saw an exponential rise in followers with many common fans of Batman, Superman & Spiderman started following him thinking of him as a new hero in the Man Series.
