For all the disappointed souls out there post the CAT exam, it’s time to let go of your frustrations and start focusing on XAT. Life always gives you second chances and XAT is that one chance available every year to all the b-school aspirants. Top b-schools like XLRI, SPJIMR, XIMB, IMT, TAPMI, GIM, etc. take candidates using XAT score. It is a 3.5 hours exam, scheduled to be held online on the 6th of January.
It’s a matter of hardly a month by when all the major b-school entrance exams will be over and the candidates will anxiously await their results. Once the results are out, the alarm bells for getting their act right in the Group Discussion and Personal Interview rounds will start ringing for many. And just like one’s morning alarm tone, the tone of the GD/PI rounds is also not mellifluous to anyone’s ears.
Ever imagined an interview where you believe you performed exceptionally poor and fear that the performance would leave a mark in your memory for a long time, but the interviewers liked you for your honesty and persistence. Ever imagined that you answered "No" twice to the question - "If you put yourself in our shoes, then do you still believe we should select you based on your interview performance?" and still they announce a "Yes" in the verdict. Truth is stranger than fiction indeed. Let me tell you the story of my interview experience during summers in detail.
Every year, close to 200,000 students take the CAT. Assuming that you aspire to make it to the top 10 B-schools of the country, you are fighting for 4,000 seats - that is ~2%. Undeniably, there is pressure.
“SPJIMR gives preference to students with work experience”
SPJIMR, ranked among the top 20 most desired b-schools worldwide as per Forbes and the Top 5 in India, has always been known for its innovative pedagogy of teaching management education. One of the path-breaking innovations in the entire value chain of education at SPJIMR lies in its admission process. It is the first and the only b-school in India that offers an interview for admissions to its flagship PGDM programme based on the strength of one’s profile. We, at SPJIMR, firmly believe that there’s more to a person than meets the eye. This is one of the many things that set us apart from traditional b-schools.
We’re glad that you want to build yourself as a brand. One that everybody knows and loves.
