The Perfect Interview Does Not Exist

The Perfect Interview Does Not Exist

More than 1.5 lakh people write CAT every year out of which some 10k-20k people don’t appear for the exam. Of these 1 lakh people lucky few get the calls from IIMs for interviews. A big-time challenge for this lucky herd is to convert the calls. Failing to secure a percentile decent enough to get a call could be disheartening. But not converting your calls is heartbreaking at many levels. A normal candidate began dreaming about studying at his dream b-school since he starts preparing for CAT and these dreams intensify after the call from the ‘dream’ b-school. I couldn’t sleep the night I get the call from my ‘dream’ b-school. Your dreams go to another level. And imagine, if you are not able to convert any of them! All those dreams, hopes, plans, flushed down the chute. So it becomes extremely important for you to crack these interviews. Only they stand between you and your dreams.

I don’t precisely remember the date, but I think it was on the 23rd of Jan, 2017, when the results for NMAT were declared. I submitted my SOP, which I made sure was the best that I could write at that point in time. (Also had a few friends proofread the SOP to make sure that no errors were left unnoticed).

Be Kind, Rewind: Before You Board The Interview Train

Be Kind, Rewind: Before You Board The Interview Train

In a few months, the first year of an eventful MBA will come to a close at IIM Lucknow. The all-conquering seniors will move on to the dreary money churning life outside and a new batch of hopeful dreamers will enter through these hallowed gates of hell.  It feels strange that a year has passed by and I still feel like the unassuming dreamer. For the past year, life has quizzically revolved around assignment submissions, exams, committee work, placements and many more things unexplainable here. So much so, that the struggle to arrive in this very institution feels like a long forgotten memoir.
