What is E-PAT?

IIPM Mumbai Campus

IIPM's Admission test E-PAT stands for Entrepreneurship & Planning Admission Test is based upon a written test, group discussion and inter view. Unlike CAT, IIPM’s admission test E-PAT is based more on parameters pertaining to EQ ( Emotional Quotient) and overall personality mapping since it has been globally obser ved that high IQ often takes a backseat to high EQ when it comes to Entrepreneurship, Management and dealing with human beings. Thus, the total scores of the written test, group discussion and personal inter view are compiled together to compose the final score. Success in E-PAT is more likely to make you a better future leader than success in any other examination focused primarily on IQ. E-PAT is conducted throughout India in more than 15 centres.

Spam Emails: An Emerging Problem

Management Guru Arindam Chaudhuri Dean Business School IIPM

Are spam-mails gaining the upper hand in our war against them?
Unsolicited bulk e-mail has not only become a part of regular e-mails, but has also emerged as a nerve-wracking problem for businesses and individuals alike. As per a conservative estimate, spam accounts for nearly 83 per cent of all e-mail traffic. It is estimated to cost around $10 billion to American business firms. The objectives of sending spam has also increased along with the increase in frequency of the same. From pornographic solicitations to plain fishing, account holders are bombarded with all kinds of spam for different objectives.

Are we losing the war against spam email? A report by Commtouch Software Ltd released on Jan 2010 said that more than 183 billion spam emails are generated everyday.

Strangely, much spam is also politically motivated. SonicWall estimated that the number of spam that had mentioned a political figure/issue in their subject row crossed the mark of 5 billion in a period of one month during Nov'08 American Presidential Elections. Accounts were flooded with spam declaring to contain “Obama Sex Video!!!” and it was astonishingly generated from “infonews@obama.com.” The email further read as “Sensation!!! US Senator for Illinois Barack Obama in 2007 travelled to Ukraine and had sex action with many Ukrainian girls! You may view this private porno in a flash video. Download and view now. Please send this news to your friends! Obama, it’s not the right choice!!!” But then, as expected, the email had no sex video but a Trojan virus that got downloaded during the process. Even during the Bush-Cheney campaign, bulk spam was generated with a link back to the official campaign site georgewbush.com and another link pointing to an anti-Kerry ad that alleged him being "wrong on defence." A Conservative group grassfire.org sent more than 300,000 e-mails with a link to an online ad where John Kerry and Ted Kennedy were shown as "opponents to conservative values." Similar tactics were also used by an anti-Bush liberal group (moveon.org).

Spam is denting bottom-lines considerably. According to a study conducted in 2009 by Nucleus Research Inc., managing spam costs American corporations more than $70 billion annually and leads to productivity loss of around $700 per employee per year. There is an urgent need for a universal solution regarding spam. Apart from the above mentioned productivity and cash loss, it easily dents profiles of individuals and even causes indirect loss in international trade. While at the individual level, there is little that can be done, and while email portals like Google, Yahoo, MSN can help in blocking these spam emails, unless nations come together in organising a coordinated action against spam sending entities and in shutting them down, we'll lose the fight!

Anna Hazare: We will keep fighting till Jan Lokpal Bill is passed

IIPM Mumbai Campus

Anna Hazare's fast demanding a strong Lokpal entered the fifth day on Saturday with his team saying they were ready to talk to the government but no such communication channels have been opened.

Hazare came to the podium at around 10am as supporters started pouring in Ramlila Maidan where he launched his protest yesterday after coming out of Tihar Jail.

The 73-year-old anti-corruption crusader alleged the funds in government treasuries were being threatened not by thieves but from those guard it and the country is being threatened by these traitors.

"Why should we fight? The funds in government treasuries are ours. The treasuries are not threatened by thieves but by those who guard it. The country is not betrayed by enemies but by these traitors," the Gandhian said.

He said he has lost three-and-half kg in the last four days. "I feel a little weak. But there is nothing to worry about it. The fight will go on till we get a strong Lokpal," Hazare said in his brief address to the gathering.

His close associates Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia said the team was ready to talk to the government on the issue of Lokpal Bill but no one has approached them.

"We are ready to talk to the government but there is no communication from their side. Where should we go to talk and whom should we talk to?" Kejriwal and Sisodia said.

Hazare had yesterday raised the political stakes by giving a deadline to the government to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill by August 30 failing which he would continue his fast "till my last breath".
