How I Found My Calling At IIM Bangalore - Rituparna Malik's Story
Often, when we are starting out in our academic lives in IIMs, the one question asked in interviews are: What area do you want to specialize in? Some say Marketing, some say Finance. And so many times, at the end of the two years, it is so different a specialization from that earlier dream that you start out with. Something very similar happened with me. I came here, answering marketing questions in the interview, while having no idea of what actually marketing is. I did not have any previous experience. Coming to IIMB, I realized Finance is the more respectable thing to specialize in given the apparent brainwork. So in the summers, when I got shortlisted by several banks, I thought Finance was my calling.

The Common Admission Test (CAT), the key to unlock the hallowed gates of the prestigious IIMs and various other stellar B – schools, is widely considered as one of the toughest exams to crack and is often greeted with intimidation and doubt by its aspirants.

Today, after having gone through the entire preparation, the D – day, the GDPI's and the selection phase, I’m really excited to share my experience of this roller coaster ride with everyone. Well, here’s how everything unfolded:

Quant Mumbo Jumbo - CAT 2016 - 2IIM
There is a famous declaration in Math that goes thus – “Any prime number greater than 5 can be written in the form 6k + 1″ . This is blather. Pure, unadulterated blather that is a unique product of our system of education. This is not wrong, mind you. It could have been banished easily if it had been. I have never hated something so much for being right.
