From 77%ile To 93%ile In CAT - My Journey To MICA Against All Odds
“Life is like a winding road but has a consistent graph of learning. I learnt from my experience as I never had any guidance for my career and I did what I felt was right. Taking CAT was one of those. CAT 2018 was my second attempt. After the devastating performance in 2017 and scoring just 77%ile, I just had my inner confidence to buttress upon for the second attempt. While my friends had fantastic scores and amazing calls, I was the only one with zero calls. That was the phase when I was juggling with my college exams and my future career plans. Everything seemed bleak.”

4 CAT Attempts And A Journey To Success - A Story Of Persistence & Rising Above Mediocrity
“I gave mocks religiously. IMS and CL mocks along with my college IT cell were my refuge for most of my final year. It was here that I became friends with Archit and Mitesh. We pushed each other and fought to better the other. Despite getting placed at Hindalco, I knew MBA was my calling. My favorite section was VA. I regularly scored 99+ in Mocks and loved reading RCs and solving them. DI LR and QA were painful as always but I was improving. But things seldom work out. I was going through a personal shit-storm (my fault) when I gave CAT 2015. I wasn't at my best but I believed I had done decent enough in my weakest sections of QA and DI LR. Fast forward to result day - QA 97.** , DI LR 98.** , VA 88.** OA 95.64%.”
