    None of the IIMs appeal to CAT topper Vipul Tyagi

    Vipul Tyagi appeared in Common Admission Test (CAT) 2011 and was top scorer. But none of the IIMs appeal to this Engineering lad who has got call from IIM Kozhikode, IIM- Calcutta and other institutes. He says he just wants to prove other students that CAT is not very difficult and is not the property of the topper. Any person with good reasoning capacity and presence of mind can qualify CAT.
