this is for all those who are still oblivious to the fact that NMIMS has decided to change the test pattern from this year on. The change comes largely from the experience that they had last year. The GK section was fairly easy in last years NMAT and hence, resulted in lot of students scoring well in the test, thereby compromising the overall quality of the student mix. It is believed that this prompted NMAT authorities to revise the pattern as follows,

Section No.

1. Acrobat : In ubuntu, there is absolutely no alternative to adobe acrobat. Pdfedit is trying to emulate acrobats functionalities but they are too far from realising the goal.
2. Microsoft OneNote : Lets face it, one note is simply the most outstanding piece of software created by microsoft in recent times. There is no alternative to Onenote in windows, so hoping for a viable alternative in ubuntu is a bit unfair.
3.Games : there are not enough games. I miss Rise of nations, Cricket, Age of empires, Civilization, Simcity.
4. iTunes : …

winrar, a popular compression software, is not available on linux.Although, a command line variant is available, but, if you are as lazy as i am then you would not like to type 5 commands to unrar a file. fortunately, there is a workaround, which is as simple as 123
1. Download winrar from rarlabs website. Uncompress the downloaded file
2. Install xArchiver from Synaptic Package Manager
3. log in as root and run this command
cp /location of unzipped files/rar /usr/bin/
cp /location of unzipped files/unrar /usr/bin/
Yipee!
