Pagalguy turns four!

Ok now look at some stats:

Active Users: 200

Threads: 17,192

The stats I have provided above and the website I am talking about is one of the most popular and populated youth forums website.
Yes, I didnt say MBA-Admissions related forum site. I call it youth forum website.

Yes, four years ago the founder, Allwin (you can find his blog link on the bottom of the right column) might have started the site with the same intention: to provide CAT related discussion forum. And the scope of the site might have been restricted to CAT (Common Admission Test: entrance test conducted for Indian premium institutes like IIMs) related discussions; however today this site has gone beyond that Beyond CAT, Indian MBA, beyond GMAT, and now international MBA. The website takes interviews of deans of various business schools.
Recently site published the interview of Mr. Caleel, Director of MBA Admissions and Financial Aid at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.
Oh yes apart from MBA business this site also do some charitable work. Check out touching lives forum there. I can go on & on but talking about Pagalguy.com in a single post is impossible. You just gotta check it.

I am very fascinated by this site. I started participating in the discussions lately. Since I am aiming for US-MBA my activities are(/were) restricted to two forums only. Which do not quite rock as compare to its other Indian-forums. If you see the numbers, when I say its not rocking, I mean the new thread started has just hundred visits in a day. Well thats actually quite big number.
So I didnt quite know the persons there. Then one day I came across this invitation thread.
I checked in.
And I attended the celebration too. Check out the thread you might see me there in the photos.(dont expect some running mans pic there I dont always run.)
I think I was the only fool who was wearing shirt and a trouser on the party day!!

Some vet-n-loyal people of pg shared some stories about what was there earlier and it is todayI actually had gone through a fantastic thread of history of pagalguy the day beforeand as I hv mentioned I hv done PhD in Allwins blog, so I knew the story already

All the best wishes to Pagalguy.com

GMAT test great experience:Interesting read

1 Reply

You can get many GMAT war stories at numerous GMAT forum sites available.
Every person posts his/her GMAT experience and approach once (s)he is through this test.

So theres nothing special in it.

Here i go.

The debriefing by this person is unique I never read such comprehensive, informative yet funny and humorous posts. I really enjoyed reading this thread.

But this persons (calls himself crash test dummy) has posted this cool story about his GAMT journey. I like his style of writing. His posts are comprehensive and has some humour in it. Also you find some funny posts in the thread; esp. post #3 and one-tight-slap by MOD in post#4. I literally rolled on the floor out of breath. Gasp.
This person put some interesting facts and incidences in his debriefing.
I am sure you ll find it interesting too.
just check this out here

MBA Stanford admit taking queries. Senapati @pagalguy

Leave a reply

senapati: There’s something special in this person.
This guy’s got admitted in Stanford GSB for class 2008.
He started this thread at the pagalguy.com some six months ago, to help other (stanford wannabe) aspirants to make their plan. The thread is huge a success.
Mr. Senapati still takes time out of his busy schedule to answer to the queries.
This thread has crossed five hundred mark and it’s still running- full throttle; the mods have not made it sticky (UPDATE: finally it’s locked & made sticky on MBA abroad forum) nor its something silly like longest thread making maniac attempt; its still successful, the reason for this is his (Mr. senapati’s) vast knowledge over variety of b-schools across the globe. You name it & this person knows about that school inside-out… oh yeah!
Though I do not have a single post in that thread, I gained a lot of information just by reading it.
You too could gain great amount of information just by going through this thread. and the best part is you dont have to be member of that forum site to read this thread.
Just go and check it out.
