Preparing for the Verbal Ability section of CAT is not an easy nut to crack. Engineers can understand this better. Students from state boards can understand this even better. And if you are a combination of both, the story of Jitesh Mittal is what you need to read to know how he went on to score 95% in VARC from 19% in VARC in his first attempt!
You're probably running from one exam center to another every week, trying to make it to a top b-school. While we, at InsideIIM are on a warpath; trying to help you do just that, but in our own way. In this endeavour, here's a list of reads and videos you need to check out today, published on InsideIIM...
A remarkable journey of Rakesh Kunbi, 29 years old, who made it to IIM Rohtak facing the odds right from a young age. Reminiscing early experiences he said, "My grandfather was a mill worker while my father was a Homeguard officer in Mumbai. The main source of our family income ceased after the shutdown of a few mills in 2005. It was a difficult period for our family". At this juncture of life, 16-year-old Rakesh took up the job of delivering newspapers in order to manage family expenses but the zeal he possessed for acquiring knowledge helped him to parallelly manage education.

One rainy Sunday evening in 2015, when I was randomly reading up about the various b-schools in India, I accidentally came across TISS, not even knowing that I would land up there four years later. While my fellow TISSians have thrown enough light on the lovely green campus and the diverse culture of TISS, let me take you through my journey of making it to the M.A. HRM & LR program in TISS.
"The most difficult decisions we’re faced with are not about success or failure but finding the courage to simply try again.” - what can be a better example to bring this quote to life other than Adya Shakti’s journey from 39% to 98% in CAT to make it to one of India's top B-Schools, MDI Gurgaon!
The only good thing about being average is that you're as close to the top as far you're from the bottom!
