What To Do After Your B-School Interview?

Is this ambiguity and stress after giving every interview normal? Does it only happen to me that I think I am not going to get selected for this one? My interview was so short; they definitely didn’t like me. My interview went for 15 minutes but they didn’t look convinced. I am definitely not going to get into the B-school. Well, these are the similar thoughts of mostly all the candidates who come out of the interview room and start thinking that they killed the only chance they had. You have your best call at IIM A or B or C or L and you just want one thing that I want to crack this one but the interview goes so uncertain that you are clueless about what exactly happened to me and now, it all depends upon the result.

Now, when the entire nation is once again reeling from the pandemic and rising cases every day, B-schools are forced to go back to the online mode of teaching. And institutes like IMI Kolkata and others can be an effective model for students and institutions to follow in the time to come.
