        JMSSaspirant brother nobody really knows, plus, your predictions are probably inaccurate, but you're smart, so assume you can make it to the interview.

          Hello folks, anyone knows when is the result supposed to be out?
          Wikipedia says this year 5000 students appear in the exam. Is it true?
