online test by EXON

Dear Sir/ Ma’am,

Trust you are doing fine.

We once again reiterate that we are proud to have your esteemed institution as our partner.

Being true to the promises we made during the initiation of this partnership we are trying our best to help your students secure good placements in the current scenario where jobs have dried up. (Refer attached articles). As you all know that all the sectors have been badly hit by the recession and the biggest hit has been the recruitment process as most of the companies have seized their hiring process. Currently the industry is not sure of the revival times. There are only few sectors like ITES, Insurance etc who are active.

We have managed to get some top companies in India (we will send a detailed list of companies with job profiles available with them shortly) who would like to recruit from your talent pool. However there is no guarantee that they would recruit a certain number of candidates for sure or visit your campus. The decision to hire depends primarily on the assessment results and the concerned organization’s related hiring processes. Hiring is on the sole discretion of the companies. We would also share detailed job descriptions of job profiles available with these organizations.

We strongly advice candidates to take this assessment as we would share the results and profile with more companies as they come also they should appear for the interviews, if shortlisted, as this would be their chance to step into the corporate world. This test is available free of cost to the candidates.

The dates on which the assessment would be held are March 5,6and 7; we plan to keep the timing flexible and leave it on you to decide the time of the test as per availability of the computer lab as maximum students should appear for the test at one go. Each computer needs minimum 50kbps of bandwidth for this test, so if you have a 1MBPS connectivity (dedicated), at one time let there should not more than 20 candidates giving the test. Please inform us before hand as to how & when are you planning the sessions. We will share the process of the test in the next week. You will need to appoint an administrator for taking the online attendance of the students at the time of the assessment. Please share the name, phone no and email ID of the appointed person.

The registration process would start from Wednesday, February 25, 2009. We would share a link with you the students can register themselves online on the given link; immediately after registration they would be provided with a digital admit card and they would require to take a printout of the same. The link would be active till Saturday, February 28, 2009 midnight. Please advise your students to register themselves in the given time frame.

We would require coordination from your technical team for smooth conducting of the assessment; hence it is solicited that you keep a couple of technical people around during the examination process.

Please feel free to reach me at the below mentioned coordinates or my colleague Pratik Dasgupta at the following coordinates should you have any further queries about the process :

Email: pratik@exon.in
Telephone: +91-9350362998

EXON Solutions wishes all the students the very best in securing good jobs and great careers.

The registration link would be active from Wednesday, February 25, 2009 to Saturday, February 28, 2009 midnight.

The assessment would consist of four sections and all the questions would be objective:

The assessment duration would be 90 minutes.

3. Hang Azmal Kasav to death in public & all channel sholud cover it LIVE.

Dear All

1. Do not worry about those who have come thru boats... Our forces can easily defeat them. WORRY about those who have come thru votes.... Those are our REAL ENEMIES.

2. What a shame and disgrace to every citizen of India that the elite NSG Force was transported into ordinary BEST buses, whereas our cricketers are transported into state of the art luxury buses, these Jawans lay down their lives to protect every Indian and these cricketers get paid even if they lose a match, we worship these cricketers and forget the martyrdom of these brave Jawans.The Jawans should be paid the salaries of the cricketers and the cricketers should be paid the salaries of the Jawans.

3. Our NSG, BSF, ARMY, do not have a dedicated AIRCRAFT to perform rapid operations, while every tom dick n harry Minister is travelling through his Personalized Helicopter.. ..!!!

4. Our Navy has total 25 Heavy artillery loaded ships, while a country named Korea which is smaller than Chattisgarh has 250 Heavy artillery loaded ships for the security of there coasts.

5. An ace shooter shoots and gets gold medal, govt gives 1cr , another shooter dies while shooting terrorist, govt gives 5 lakh.

WHO DESERVES MORE Our Commando's or Cricketers? Huh.. This is our India ....
Please be a patriot and forward this to everyone u know. Let Mumbai come to its PACE once again with the spirit of MUMBAIKAR, but we people will never forget to send a mail daily to all the assosciates of ours. we wil not let this end here....!!!! !! we will keep the fire of revenge inside and will show at regular intervals... .Plz dont feel shy to forward this mail......

Our security and leadership

The political leadership of India has converted this country of billions of men with heart, soul, character and courage into a lifeless, marooned, hapless state.

I do not have political wisdom, but I have a sense that for years the leadership has compromised with the country's security for its own security and safety. Political leadership is not about taking the high mantle and leading a state sponsored lifestyle of comfort and security. It is a career chosen by those who ought to serve their people. Gandhi would have been at the site of the masscare bare chested and naked. Whilst Advani, whose heart supposedly burns against terror, flew with Manmohan to doubly safeguard his own security under the cover of the Prime Minister's fullest cover.

The brave commandos, police and the armed forces laid their lives to save the innocent and corner the culprit. Yet a time will come, and come soon, when there will be no further story on this. The Masterminds of the terror attack would call one of those in power like Shivraj Patil or Vilasrao Deshmukh, threat their lives lest they wrap up the investigation process and release those arrested. These mice would succumb. The media would get back to making fairytales out of news that has the least social or public significance. The leadership of big nations who have profound statements to make would go back to their own secure lives. The statements of 'together we must work to counter these criminal agenda' would be slept over with personal missions. Over time public passion would be silenced by their need to earn their daily bread.

Another terror would occur. more terrorists would become more courageous..but a strong chance is that the militant groups would get a stronger hold on the political leadership and some day actually take over completely. Do we want to die cowards and helpless, or are there genuine out-of-the-box solutions that would give us a civilsed life of honour, dignity, grace and pride?

Just a few simple questions:

1. Yes, terrorists are trained in a way that normal military or police plans can be countered. So it may have been difficult to track their entry. However, if it was known that such thing is likely to happen, why did the Government not brief and train major hotel authorities, railway stations and train the people so that they have sense of identifying abnormal behaviour. Create exit plans in the hotels to move out people rapidly should such a strike occurs. Keep NSG troups ready in Mumbai and prepared. Use extraordinary telecommunication devices ready. I mean, where was the preparedness to counter?

2. Media that is so powerful, yet is either shy of asking tough questions, or converts a Q&A into a 'barking session'. We cannot have reporters coyly ask politicians (who are any way public servants accountable to give satisfying answers), "Sir, could you give us a sense of what's happening". The question to be asked is blank and naked, "Even the guy on the street knew that such an attack was in the offing, can you elaborate on what plans were made to counter, kindly do not give words, we want to listen to quotes from the documents drawn out".

There would Mayawatis, Yadavs, nitish kumar and amar singh who would claim their souls burn for their people, but will be found snugged into the warmth of God knows what when the time comes to show that they have a heart for their people.

The purpose of my note is not to write a prose or a story but a humble view that we think hard and search deep for solutions that can save us and help us come out of the clutches of people corrupt in mind, heart and character. Can we make citizen group, at micro and macro level to formally and periodically take a report from the leaders on what they are doing and what they ought to have done.
Let us not say 'Oh, these things don't work' for if that was so the world would have stayed back in the dark ages. There has to be a solution that we, the private citizens, can make work. We fight business and personal challenges, this is no different.

Let us get together to act or die as corrupt politicians!
