During the selection process, the educational qualification is also taken into account as it is not possible for everyone to cope up with the rigorous pressure of the MBA programs provided by the top MBA schools. Among the CAT 2008 toppers, interviewed by MBAUniverse.com, there were students who did not belong to engineering backgrounds such as Vipul Goyal. Vipul had done B.Com from Shri Ram College of Commerce, Delhi University. He scored 99.87 percentile in CAT and is now in IIM Indore. Also Sitaram Agarwal (99.53 percentile holder), and Anurag Goyal (99.56 percentile holder), were students of B.Com from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata, University of Calcutta.

Allotments and computer training for mentally ill
A new initiative was launched by Phil Hope, care services minister to mark a new era in mental health, end the stigma associated with the condition and encourage early treatment.
Urban allotments, reading groups and computer training were highlighted as schemes that the NHS is being urged to provide under the New Horizons campaign.
Poor mental health is already believed to cost the economy £77 billion a year and the independent health think tank, the King’s Fund, has predicted the cost will double to over 10 per cent of GDP by 2026.
A consultation was launched to bring together different agencies including schools, employers, the NHS and the criminal justice system, to investigate how to improve mental health of the nation.
One of the ideas under consideration is a dedicated youth mental health service as problems often begin early in life, experts said.
Prevention and early treatment are key themes in the consultation along with removing stigma and ensuring patients receive care tailored to their needs.
One in six people will have a mental health problem at any one time.
Care Services Minister Phil Hope said: “Better mental health and wellbeing is vital for a healthy society. People with mental health problems are more likely to do other things that damage their health, such as have a poor diet, smoke or take drugs. So promoting good mental health is a key part of tackling many other health inequalities.
“Over the last ten years of the national service framework we’ve transformed mental healthcare but now we want to go further. Our aim is to build on recent achievements, whilst simultaneously taking the next logical step – helping to prevent mental health problems from developing in the first place. New Horizons will help us do this."
Steve Shrubb, Director of the Mental Health Network of the NHS Confederation said: “Promoting mental health is everyone's business and the coalition fully supports the move to embedding good mental health across society while continuing to improve services. Half of mental illness starts before the age of 14, Louis Appleby, National Director for Mental Health Services said and around half of these problems are preventable.
