The pandemic years were extremely tough on placements at Indian business schools. As job uncertainty increased, many top-tier institutes showed drastically slowed growth and even significant dips in recruitment figures, offers were rescinded or delayed indefinitely, and anxiety was at an all time high amongst students who'd paid tens of lakhs of rupees to imbibe management education. In 2022, with the vaccine entering as an influx of hope amongst recruiters, institutes—at least amongst the upper tiers—are beginning to record pre-pandemic levels of growth in their placement numbers. Amongst these are the second generation "new" IIMs.

The CAT journey is usually very long and arduous and aspirants face multiple obstacles. While preparing for the exam and scoring well is challenging in itself, the process of preparing and doing well in interviews is another herculean task. One hurdle that a large number of aspirants are concerned about is the presence of gap years on their resume. Aspirants often assume that the presence of gap years would mean direct rejection or fewer marks in interviews. This opinion has an adverse impact on their preparation as well as confidence.
