shasyaa -"Well until any valid results come out nothing can be said for certain....but as for the mipcom festival 2009...they do have their name there guys
..check this link....http://www.mipcom.net/index.php?pid=...%2C+COMPANY_ID
I have applied for the test and have received the confirmation call from them about the receiving of the money.My name is under the registered candidates list and so are my friends'.The exam details will be sent to us soon for intimation.Why would any fraud company call so many people back to confirm the receipt of money?
Plus there is written on the site at one place that people from reputed companies with 5 yrs. experience need not pay but only come with the valid documents regarding their experience.Why would they even bother mentioning this if they were frauds?Also then they would not conduct the test in sessions...i mean why not take money from the candidates in one roll and run away?I think they have already conducted one round of tests...I am not at all taking their side but instead trying to analyze.
ok..maybe they are a new company trying to set up at Hyderabad..so there may not be any solid backgrounds or so but i guess i am taking this chance for an opportunity to find employment for experience.And it is not an "entrance exam" but rather technical tests in the respective specializations.And since technical tests are taken at almost all of the studios around the world so nothing new in that.As you guys said,there may not be many workstations,but maybe they are charging the money to set up the required workstations for the candidates' test since they are starting anew.They may be also taking the money as a caution..coz what if once they setup the whole thing with their money and the student doesnt show up...not a very promising thing for a new studio i guess....big studios can afford this but not the newbies.Anything is possible. And anyways it is the way of the world that everyone is an opportunist and beggars cannot be choosers.To even get an opportunity here in this crazy market is a big thing.If you want it take it or leave,the others are already in line.
Of course if you've got talent you will get selected but what if you don't even get chosen for the test?Can't do anything then.And even after an opportunity you find many many big studios hire freshers as trainees to make them work and work to give them peanuts or either not pay at all 
...So its all a crazy run.You've to keep taking chances (of course with lesser risks) and keep your fingers crossed.I'm keeping mine! As for the blocked candidates one probability is that they have mentioned in the site that people who are not self-confident (with talent 
) or who cannot communicate in english or who use political recommendations need not apply in the company to waste their time and money! SUITS ME!
"myself - http://www.mipcom.net/index.php?pid=...%2C+COMPANY_ID
in the said website they are showing as a registered company which is ofcoarse u need to pay and become a visitor, they have not shown as as exhibitor, even u can register a fake company and it does not qualify for being legitimate... well thats a different overview altogether.
many of my friends have applied, and luckily i did not apply for it and they also got confirmation calls and they are on stand-by for exam dates from past 2 months. if u get a exam call then i guess u must be pretty lucky.
and about the "experience of 5 yrs" limit i never been told of anywhere in a studio, moreover do u think a fraud company will advertise themselves as frauds on their websites???
and about taking money and running away u are thinking small scale, think of it as every month 100 people apply, 100*3000 = 3,00,000 without doing anything, or without any1 asking about it, something like say pocket money, u really think u get conned in a day?? haven't u heard of all chit fund frauds or ponzi's scheme?? the guy who devised this plan is really genius...
even I am not taking sides but i am very optimistic person but once i saw their website, the song from "golmal" rang in my head... :-)
and about workstation they are buying from ur money, from where will they give ur salary?? do u really want to sell ur talent dirt cheap?? u think u will gain experience or knowledge from a company where they dont hire people with "5 year experience"
technical tests are taken all over the world and its a must in our industry but have u come across dreamworks or pixar or take local paprikaas, rhythm and hues or any other studio taking money like this??
and what caution are you talking about not attending the interview, if they really want talented guys they can put here with cgtantra... i wish u were more cautious..
do u know from where a studio earns, from its clients or its own product (ip) . if i am starting a new studio then i will defenitely take the client route and when a client signs up, the client will be parting with a percentage of the project amount that will be used for paying salaries and other expenditures.
when a student joins a studio,they make contract with student ............ so i dont agree with ur theory of "how they might be using ur money"
if u dont believe in the talent u got, and say "beggars cannot be choosers" how will u convince the company who hires you??
Finally i am just saying with the recession, doubts about industry recovery, future of animation in india we have fallen a pit dont dig it to make it a well
