He also completed his 4 years of bachelor's from Thalassery with a CGPA of 7.41. A 2019 pass out, he didn't take up any job offers as he wanted to give his everything towards CAT because he knew this would be a life-changer for him. Since he realized that the potential would be massive, the experience and exposure from a top b-school would be immense, and so he gave a good 4 months to CAT and finally got 99.45%ile and calls from all the IIMs except B.

My friends were getting good scores in mocks, whereas I kept struggling with Verbal which always used to be my strength. I started reading lots of answers on Quora about the strategy to be followed for acing the exam and other success stories to keep myself motivated. I would think and tell myself, “If he/she can do this, then why can’t I?”, read this inspiring article by Dipshika Damani here
