Always Remember You Are Solving What A Fifteen-Year-Old Kid Is Able To Solve| Modit Singla; 99.25%ile

Modit Singla did his schooling from DAV Public School, Panipat. Having secured 90.0% in X and 95.2% in XII, he took the usual route and went on to pursue B.tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering from DCRUST, Murthal. MBA was on the cards till CAT 2014 gave him a reality check. He later went on to clear SBI PO 2016 and worked there for more than 3 years. Six on-job transfers, 5 years, and a monotonous routine later, he mustered courage and attempted CAT again. 99.25 percentile is what he achieved after 70 hour weeks at work. He got an admit from IIM Lucknow and had converted MDI and IIFT. Presently, he is studying at IIM L. Here is how Modit went through this journey of achieving 99.25%ile with a 163.31 score | VA: 51.60, 96.03 | DILR 46.12, 97.92 | QA: 65.58, 99.29

From 54% In XII And Education Gap To An IIM | Kunal Mirge, IIM Rohtak

From 54% In XII And Education Gap To An IIM | Kunal Mirge, IIM Rohtak

I am a current 1st year MBA student at IIM Rohtak. I would like to share my journey from scoring very low marks in my 10th, 12th, and graduation to my CAT preparation and getting into an IIM. I belong to a small city in Maharashtra. I did my schooling and graduation in Maharashtra itself. I scored 79% in Xth class and 54% in XIIth class with a science background. I was not interested to continue with the science field after XIIth so I shifted to commerce. I enrolled myself in Chartered Accountancy (CA) course. It took me many attempts to write the CPT exam which is the foundation exam of the CA course but was in vain. I didn't clear the CPT itself. I successfully wasted my 3 years over that. Till then I had not taken admission into B.COM. I took admission into B.COM 3 years after passing the XIIth class. Till then I dropped out of the CA course and started focussing on completing my graduation. after completing 1st year of B.COM, there was a gap year before 2nd year due to personal reasons. So, I finally completed 3 years of B.COM in 4 years. So, it can be seen that I completed my graduation 7 years after passing the XIIth class. During my graduation, I developed an interest in equity investments and trading. I am doing it still now.
