CAP 2020 Interview Experience || Nancy Raj, IIM Kashipur

I still remember the day which I still deem as one of the most crucial days of my life, when I was headed to JP Siddharth hotel via the blue line of Delhi Metro. The date was February 17th and the slot in the afternoon. I have always been terrified of group discussions, so it was a slight relief for me that CAP only comprised of written test and personal interview rounds. However, my percentile being on the lower side, I knew I needed to ace my interview to get through. To give a brief about my profile; I scored 94.44 percentile in CAT 2019 with all the sectionals above 90. I have done my bachelor’s in arts domain with honours in Statistics. I have completed my secondary and senior secondary education with 95% and 87.44% respectively. Being a fresher with no prior internships, I was a little skeptical of my candidature for an IIM.

IIFT GD-PI-WAT Experience | Ft. Tushang Shivam IIFT K'22

After graduating from Manipal Institute of Technology in 2018, I worked as a Quality Assurance Engineer at voestalpine India for 7 months. With encouragement from my school friends, I quit the job to try my hand at establishing a pet services aggregator start-up as I believed that it was the best time in my life to take such a risk. Though the start-up did well initially, I soon realised that I needed more knowledge in the art of business administration and made a rather late decision of sitting for B-school entrance exams. This was back in July 2019 when I got primed to run the start-up into the ground and signed up for CAT/IIFT coaching classes. 8 months later I was sitting in front of a panel at IIFT ready to narrate my professional journey and hoping they would like it enough to let me in. As many of you would soon find yourself in a similar position, I would like to share that day’s experience to help you join the college of your dreams.
