On March 3, I attended a personal interview at SJMSOM, IIT Bombay. I would like to start by mentioning that this was among the most structured and chilled-out interview experiences I have had.
I had my interview on 04 March 2022 8 AM. I received the interview details a week prior to the interview and interview link a day prior. SJMSOM interview was one of the most well organized interview I had. The Admission Committee was well prepared for the process.
The Interview was conducted on 4th March 2022, morning session. Attending interview online was a new experience, but to add more spice, the conducting body introduced GATHER Platform for the participants.
I am a Mechanical Engineer with 20 months’ work experience. As a core engineer with a CAT percentile of 98.97 and academics of (90, 84,85) I was well aware that SJMSOM would be one of my best calls. I received the call for an interview on the 16th of February 2022. The mail also stated that the interview would be done over the Gather platform so I was quite curious about it.

IIT Bombay. A dream for many. A reality for some. After scoring 98.99 percentile in CAT 2021, I sat ready for my interview with SJMSOM on 6th March 2022. As the interview process was virtual for our batch, it took place on a platform called Gather. It was an amazing experience as before the interview, I was able to virtually move around the SJMSOM campus and interact with people just like I would have in person.
“Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.” – Earl Nightingale. From a distant desire to pursue an MBA somewhere in the future, to make it to one of the top B-Schools in India, Anirban’s journey has been nothing short of unrelenting hard work, bits, and pieces of goof ups in between, being completely overwhelmed by the exam in the first attempt to calming down himself and acing CAT 2021 with a 99.83 percentile. But what has been the most remarkable feature was his unyielding belief in himself to do well, even when most of those around him had either lost faith in them or had become highly sceptical about his dream after his not-so-successful first two attempts. On top of that, Anirban has also secured a job in the Ministry of Home Affairs alongside his CAT preparation and a highly hectic IT Job. Anirban believes that good preparation can help you ace several exams and, in this write-up, he tells us about his journey.
The VARC section of CAT 2019 is considered to be one of the toughest to date as it was a turning point in the way CAT sets questions. The way to crack these RCs is still the same, i.e. relying on the main idea but to do that students are required to draw many implicit inferences to solve the questions. In this episode of VARC Acer, Devesh Tripathi, (IIM L Alum, Deloitte Consultant) teaches how to approach these dense RCs from CAT 2019 and draw inferences. Our video series, VARC Acer: A Comprehensive Guide To Ace VARC, is designed with the intent to enhance your VARC skills.
