Aditya Birla Group: Dream Big - Udit Khorwal, SIBM Pune

I faced a challenging situation in 2018. I had prepared for the management entrance exams for a year but my performance in these exams was not up to the mark. I was not offered admission by any college of my liking. I was disappointed by the result but had the self-belief to try again. My goal was to get admission in one of the top MBA colleges of the country. So, I decided to prepare again for the exams, which meant preparing again for a year and staying focused on my goal throughout. I was determined to do well in the exams this time. I stayed committed to my goal and worked sincerely towards achieving it. All the effort and hard work that I put in, finally gave rewards, and I performed really well in the exams. I got shortlisted by many of the top colleges. I knew that this was only the first step towards my goal and I had to perform equally well in the consequent rounds. I kept preparing with the same determination and passion. I performed well in the consequent rounds too and was offered admission by many colleges. Finally, I decided to join SIBM Pune, which was one of my dream colleges.
