I Have X% In 10th, Y% In 12th, Z% In Grad, Will I Get Calls? - The Quintessential Question Answered

Ever since I started my CAT preparation, I've been bombarded with a lot of questions. The most frequently asked question was this. People are curious if they'll get IIM calls or not. And no matter how many answers they read, they're never satisfied. The bottom-line is, if you don't have a 9/9/9 or 9/9/8, you'll have to compensate for that in some way or the other. Either by work-ex or by scoring high percentile. And there are a few colleges which don't consider marks or purane paap as people call it but they are a few only.

“Every event has a purpose and every setback its lesson. I have realised that failure, whether of the personal, professional or even spiritual kind, is essential to personal expansion. It brings inner growth and a whole host of psychic rewards. Never regret your past. Rather, embrace it as the teacher that it is.” ― Robin S. Sharma

As they say “It’s not the destination but the journey that counts”. And now as I stop to step into one of the important landing places of my life, IIM B, I sit and reminisce the journey to this place. The ride has started 6 months prior to the CAT exam. The distance was long and the terrain difficult but the focus was clear, and the destination decided. I did hit some speed breakers and reach some road blocks but was undeterred. The first few months were stormy as I had to battle to strike the balance between work and preparation. There were sleepless nights and stressful days. There were times when I hit low trying to explore new ways, paths beyond the boundaries and was left completely astray.  But I was motivated to the core to not give up. I fueled my engine with the confidence that “I Can and I Will”, no matter how many times I fall.
