robin - I feel for you man. Your frustration defines it all. I'm sure hundreds who got the reject letter feel the same as you do. I agree the only solution to this is to protest in some form or the other. My friends plan to lodge a written complaint to the concerned authorities. Lets see where this goes. But let me remind you - there will never be an end to nepotism (this is India). The only problem you can get rid of is the exorbitant fee charged for this written exam which, according to sources, were below standards and not conducted in an orderly fashion.
