SIGNIFICANCE OF ABG IN MY LIFE. (IIM sirmaur)

Back in 2015, my family decided to move from my village to a nearby town. We had a plot of 200 square feet in Bawal (a nearby town) in Haryana. It is 5 km away from my house. It was decided to build a new home on the plot and my family did not want to compromise on quality of the home because the house in which we were living had leaky roof and we used the cement of a very famous brand at that time to fix it. With such an experience, we approached a construction engineer who recommended us to use the Birla cement. As suggested, we used the Birla cement for the entire construction. The quality of Birla cement is excellent and till now, our new home has no such leaks or wall cracks. Apart from the Birla cement, ABG has a lot of importance in my life as I always buy my pants and trousers from Pantaloon. The quality of the fabric is great and affordable for a person like me who belongs to a middle-class family. My father had me insured from Birla Sunlife Insurance. The company’s services are way above my expectation. They provided with every information about the policies and also the employees are very helpful and courteous. These are the memories that I would cherish when I think of ABG.

CAT THROUGH KHAN ACADEMY

I was born and brought up from a backward village in Haryana. My Village is a place of sparse opportunities but abundant social problems. In spite of all those issues, I always dreamt big and I overcame all those problems by hard work and sheer persistence. After graduation, I decided to appear for the CAT exam since I always wanted to be an entrepreneur. But when I started preparing for CAT, I had to face my worst nightmare. Given my educational background, my control over English was very poor. But I was determined to get an MBA degree from a reputed IIM and so, I started my CAT preparation with a positive mindset. The standard of the CAT exam was so high that I had to take help from any resource available. I primarily relied on the resources online and with a non-engineering background, my mathematical skills were not as sharp as it was to be expected from an IIM candidate. I stumbled into an online app called ‘Khan Academy’ and It really helped me a lot with regards to my maths skills. I also improved my English with the help of Khan Academy. It is an amazing app that helps you learn any subject you desire. Even after the CAT, I still use the app to learn Physics since I lost touch with the subject after my 10th Std. This is how I cracked CAT got the admission from IIM Sirmaur, which once looked like a dream too far.
