Often classified as one of the toughest exams an Indian Student can ever appear for, the Common Admissions Test (CAT), is, in fact, more a test of what you are made of rather than acumen. If you have the patience and determination, you can get a 99 percentile no matter what your 10th and 12th grades say.
The buzz of the alarm starts to muddle with my sleep. I languidly stretched my hand to grab my phone. Is it 8:20! I clearly remember the clock showing me 7:00 AM just 5 minutes back. Time dilation while sleeping is something even NASA may find tough to figure out. But what do I do now?
To do or not to do an MBA is a question which most of us have tried to find the answer to. Doing an MBA is not a small decision to make. A lot of factors are involved be it finances, personal or professional situations. Many of us have faced the dilemma of going for a management degree. Is it even worth it?
IIM A, B, & C are not the institutes, about which everyone can dream of! This is what friends remarked when he expressed interest in joining IIMs. He researched further to realize that only 4 out of ~ 400 students of graduating batch '18 of IIMB had more than 58 months experience. Most of admits had academic scores at least 85% at all stages. Can a person with scores in 70s and PSU work-experience of 65 months aspire for traditional 2-year PGP at top IIMs? He had such apprehensions deep inside, but he just moved ahead with his plan.
If you think the biggest sadness is not getting a call from your dream college, then you are totally wrong. It is when you have calls from the college of the same Calibre and you must choose between them.
Reaching towards the end of 2 months of the 2nd year of my MBA journey from IIM Shillong, I can feel the transformation in my overall personality and thought process when contrasted with the pre-MBA previous version of myself. After surviving the roller coaster ride of the first year of MBA, now in the second year with a slighter relaxed schedule, it feels a bit nostalgic while seeing the sleep-deprived juniors hovering around here and there to get their tasks done within the stipulated deadline. Whether it may be reaching classes on time, or attending podium sessions, or completing midnight assignments, or preparing for the next day’s pre-reads or quizzes, the unending rundown continues forever. While going through a series of unavoidable activities day in and day out in such a limited time schedule, one is ought to get into a state of bewilderment.
