Journey To A B-School

From An Average CAT Attempt To Scoring 99+%ile On IIFT, XAT, And SNAP!

To start with, Since childhood, I have had an inclination towards the business domain, because I used to help my father in our family business from my 6th standard onwards. It piqued and entrenched my interest in the business. As a result, even after graduating in engineering, I entered our family business with the goal of establishing an online platform for our business. Like everyone else, I only had the concept but lacked the tools or knowledge to formulate or build it.

This story means everything to me. It's been my life for the past 3 years, a constant cycle of grilling, studying, and waiting for my chance to shine. Every day, I woke up with one goal in mind: to get into one of the top-tier colleges. Finally, the story has a fruitful end after a storm of continuous downs. This story is my story, and I will carry it with me always. This is not your typical story or redemption and it's going to be quite long. Apologies to all who thought they would be reading a short write-up. On a lighter note, maybe this long story turns out to be a good RC practise.
