“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free,” I remembered this quote of Michelangelo while strolling through the streets of Florence. I experienced something that is not written in the History books or taught in the Marketing Class. I experienced the culture, the art and the renaissance on each and every wall of the city.
It was 27th March 2018, and I went to Mumbai from Chennai for my NITIE interview. My interview was to be held in the afternoon at the campus itself. I reached the campus by 1 pm. The campus was one of the most beautiful ones I’ve ever seen. It was filled with greenery and couple that with a beautiful pond and a hilly terrain, you’ve got yourself the most peaceful and serene campus. The academic building, in which the interview was going to take place, sat atop a hill inside the campus. One of the ways to reach it is the famed ’96 steps’, surely a daily morning workout to reach the class.
An MBA was not really on my plan. It was rather an afterthought. After my under-graduation in mechanical engineering, I was focused on a career in public policy and diplomacy. I gave the civil services examination a good shot before I decided to let go and sat for CAT to forge an alternate career path. Meanwhile, before I joined IIM Rohtak, I spent a few months working in public sector consulting on some exciting projects like handicrafts rejuvenation.

After the CAP and other institutes’ interview processes, I was waiting for the results, hoping to get into one of the newer IIMs. It was the third week of April, I was working as usual on a busy Monday and received an email stating that I had been shortlisted for stage 3 of the admission process for PGP in Management from IIM Nagpur. I was asked to choose the location and slot for PI-WAT rounds. I chose Bangalore as I was working there. My interview was scheduled during the 2nd week of May at 9AM with guidelines mentioned.
