How To Make The Right Career Decision As An MBA Aspirant?

Everyone has a story and so do I. I am here to share my story with all of you and especially those who are in the same state of confusion that I was in while making the “right choice” for my career. The intention of writing this story using the platform of Inside IIM is to be able to reach out to a wide audience and tell them that it is okay to be confused! It’s okay, not being sure about the career path you want to take. It’s okay to start late. And, it’s certainly okay to question and try out new things and fail and then try again.

Jack Of All Or Master Of One? - The MBA Life

Growing up, we have often been told to be the best at what we do. At least, that is what most Indian parents expect from their superstar sons and daughters. Anything even close to the best was not good enough, seldom recognized. Well, my MBA journey in the past one year has been a different story.

The Moment When I Got Into IIM Indore - Srishtie Wahie

Life never gives you things when you expect, you get them when they're least expected. 7:00pm, 27th April, 2018, the moment I was signing off from my office with a myriad of apprehensions in mind regarding the uncertainty I had dragged my life into. Practically, I had nothing at hand, results awaited and a job already over. The moment I was to punch out from the office for the last time, a message pops up on my screen 'Congratulations! I know you'd have made it.' There's this adrenaline rush in my body, the heart beats pace up and the hands tremble. A little soul terrified of one email potent enough to decide her future course was just a click away from uncovering her fate. It happened for the first time that I wanted to stay in office a little longer and know what life has brought next for me. Instead of punching out, I went back to my desk with a head full of all kinds of thoughts jostling past one another and mustered the courage to open the portal and check my results. Ultimately, as the effect of inundating emotions subsided a bit, I closed my eyes, remembered the Almighty, took charge of my own thoughts and thanked God for whatever he'd decided for me. I unlocked my phone and a sudden surge of thoughts made me recollect the expectations that rest on my shoulders and above all, I was afraid if I'll be able to confront my inner-self if I fail at making it.

MBA - A Mind Blowing Adventure

“How will you manage yourself at a b-school if you are this quiet? Do you really have it in you to do MBA?” Had there been an offline question tracker this would have made the ‘Top 10 questions asked by people’ list at least for me. Now, of course, I can answer these questions. But at that time I was clueless like many other aspirants are.

Why Choose A New IIM As A Fresher?

Being a fresher we always view the world as a place full of opportunities. I was not any different from that. While preparing for CAT the thought of joining a new IIM never even crossed my mind. After the results, I had calls from IIM Indore and the Common Admission Process (CAP). It was quite probable for me that I'd go for IIM Indore if I converted it, else I'd go for workex and take CAT again. But the predictability of CAT is always an issue when one is considering for aiming for it, it's not just the test which would make you succeed. A whole list of factors come attached to the probability of you getting into an IIM of your choice apart from just the test. Although I had planned to go for workex a thought popped into my mind about the new IIMs which led me to do my research for them.
