Q) Please Share Your Journey In Achieving The Mentioned Percentile.
The pandemic served as a platform for me to realize the deeper aspects of my personal relationships- as well as better realizations about what would really contribute to my holistic growth and align with my interests. I did take my strengths and weaknesses into consideration and after carefully evaluating, My inclination towards consulting drew me to consider PGDM. I was already aware that an environment among the top B-schools would help me realize my full potential and interacting with like-minded people will only push me to do better. I come from a business family, so it was a little difficult to convince my parents- but I did not get into details and just prepared that I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. For the preparation, I did take a course from TIME(Ahmedabad) but I indulged in self-preparation and appearing for mocks. Taking a course from an institute really helps you prepare for the 2nd stage- the shortlist and interview process. I think the most important aspect of preparing is just being persistent and not giving up. But, I think that’s just natural when you really want something, you won’t give up.

Q) Please Share Your Month-Wise Preparation Insights For Upcoming Aspirants.
I started attending live classes in April 2021, making notes from each class. I used to miss most of the classes because of my demanding work hours. On the weekend, I used to watch the missed recorded class catch-up. But for me, the actual preparation and revision of concepts started in late July. I guess the most crucial month for preparation is September, because in October we have a lot of festivals to celebrate, and we don't get enough time to study. The month of November is all about revisions and giving mock tests.

Q) Please Talk About The Role Of Mock Tests While Preparing.
I personally prefer TIME & CL. I did take cracku as well. But since TIME has a relatively larger number of aspirants taking the test, you get a better idea overall of your position.
