64 To 84 To 98.5 Percentile I 3 Attempts To Bell The CAT, Ft. Dipshika Damani
“When you feel like quitting, think about why you started.” This is the quote that helped me throughout my CAT journey. During my 3rd year of engineering, I decided to pursue an MBA but under one condition: it should only be from the top 10 B-Schools of India. As I started my journey, it started getting tougher and tougher by the day. Though I attended coaching, I didn’t really understand things. 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?” But I reached a time when Quora got so overwhelming that I ended up deleting the app. I lost my confidence and just a day before CAT, I started suffering from high fever. The D-Day was a disaster. I was on high-power medication so it affected my performance. I could barely read passages and somehow managed the other sections. My friends did great. I scored a mere 64.76 percentile. Nobody except my parents knew about my real score and I decided to take another attempt. Meanwhile, I also got placed in one of the top IT companies of India.

My Journey To XLRI Jamshedpur Ft. Shashwat Dharmadhikari | Against All Odds
“Despite fetching 98.12 %ile in CAT that year, I did not get a single IIM call because I missed a sectional cutoff. That phase was indelible, to say the least. However, I decided to give a second attempt to redeem myself. Despite being an extrovert I distanced myself from everything else because the preparation required it and I had set my goals.” This is the story of Shashwat Dharmadhikari, a GEM (also, literally), a first-year Business Management student at XLRI, Jamshedpur. His journey stands as testimony to the fact that an ordinary student can aim high and achieve extraordinary things with persistence, determination and a never back down attitude.

InsideIIM's Ode To The Women Leaders Of Today And Tomorrow
“It’s time we realise that feminism is equality of both genders and not the empowerment of one,” echoes Aranya Johar, poet and a part of BBC’s Most Inspirational Women of 2020. Echoing this sentiment, b-schools across the country encourage gender diversity with bonus points for female applicants. At InsideIIM too, we recognise the immense contribution women bring to management. In 2019-20, we met and interacted with some outstanding women leaders and pioneers. Many of our readers, and b-school students too, came up with inspirational stories on life, depression, inclusion and more. We’d like to thank all you ladies (all genders really!) out there. Today, on International Women’s Day 2020, here’s some inspirational stories celebrating womanhood, survival and inclusion.
