Need Some Help For Aptitude? Quantinuum to the Rescue!

Quantinuum proved itself again when the whole of SIMSR was feeling depressed with the prospect of the coming placements. Most companies put students through an aptitude test, which tests the students for their quantative skills.


The topics of the problems asked in such tests are generally simple, but they require the students to be able to think, analyse and calculate on their feet. This was taken up by Quantinuum on the fateful day of 5th October’10, and we organised a very successful workshop on Quantitative ability.

The event was very simple. Few of the Quantinuum members, who have good knowledge and skills in the field of quants gave a session to the participants, and give them some basics of Time-distance-speed problems, number theory, ratio and proportion, and so on. The topics were divided between B.K.Chaitanya from PGDM finance, Gaurav Bhargava from PGDM finance, and Somyadutt from PGDM Marketing. They explained the concepts in a very simple and enjoyable manner. The participants of the workshop were able to recall their basics, and even asked some questions so that they could improve their speed and grasping power while solving the various problems.

Thus, the event was overall a good success. It was a very sincere effort put together by the Quantinuum team, and it really paid off. We hope that we will be able to meet all of your needs in the future as well. With the response we have achieved, we feel encouraged to conduct more such workshops.

If you have enjoyed the event, and if you would like to have more such sessions on other topics, we would love to know from you. It helps us as well, since we are able to delve deeper into the depths of a subject which we dearly love. We wish that with this event, we were able to help you appreciate the subtle beauty of quants.

That’s it from us this month folks. The next time, watch out this space for the reviews on the monthly event QUANTIZ, a general knowledge based quiz competition - spiced with numbers of course!
