New Format for CAT 2011- IIMs

The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) have announces a new format for CAT 2011. With the same number of questions, this year’s CAT will have two sections instead of three and an extra five minutes to take the test.

The two sections would be: Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation and Verbal Ability and Logical Reasoning.

In the new method, the IIMs have clubbed the sections which were divided into three parts in the older method.

The candidates will also be provided 15 minutes tutorials before the examination starts, making the total time two hours and 35 minutes. The test will be conducted between October 22 and November 18, 2011. Candidates will have 70 minutes to answer 30 questions in each section which will have an on-screen countdown timer. Once the time ends for the first section, they will move to the second and will not be able to go back. Earlier, the three sections had 20 questions each.

Best of Luck

A Mobile OS from Mozilla

The organisation whose Firefox browser many of us are currently using, Mozilla, is currently working on a "complete, stand-alone operating system for the Web." The system is being called by the name of Boot to Gecko, or B2G, and it is being designed solely for mobile devices.

The beauty of the project, B2G, being envisaged by Mozilla is that it takes Chrome’s open source ideas to the mobile space. For instance, B2G will have ways for developers to get at phone functions like placing calls and taking pictures. The kernel is based on Android, at a very low level. ..........
