I have not met many IIM grads but a couple of them which I have met are good in both. I also fall in the same category of ppl who tried CAT but failed to Bell it, but I wont criticize the procedure just a different point of view…

What about the others ?. If they are not 'brilliant' , logically they are 'stupid' aren't they ?. Not only that, the so called 'brilliant' folks continue to get favored throughout their career when seeking jobs. It becomes a kind of reservation. To top it, they also start believing that they are superior from others. Over confidence and arrogance start creeping in. The so called 'stupid' have to keep struggling to get better jobs even 15-20 years from hence. They also start believing that they are less capable which actually affects them adversely. Or they have to start their own business, leave the country etc to come up in life.

Sandipen Deb described the symptom of a problem and you are maybe explaining what causes the symptoms in the first place. How many times have you attempted CAT and failed to get an admission? :)
