How Sahil Thakur Scored 99.3%ile Without Any Traditional Coaching
As a CAT aspirant coming from a tier 2 city, with limited access to educational resources. I had to travel 80 kms daily to seek education at the only coaching centre available. As is the hype around this entrance exam, all the students preparing for CAT tend to join one institute or the other to ace the exam which gives you access to most sought after b-schools of the country. But for me, the coaching institute was burning a hole in my pocket and was not worth the time I would invest in travelling every day. So, with that in mind, one day I decided to sit at home and prepare all by myself and I am glad I took the decision.

Aman Vaishnav's Interview Experience At SIBM Bengaluru
After giving many interviews this year and after being thoroughly prepared for the GD-PI-WAT process at SIBM Bengaluru, I thought nothing could go wrong now on. It all started at 8 AM in the morning, the GD topic and WAT process was simple and had truly made some wonderful points in the process. Now the time was for the PI. The panellist was the same from the GD. They welcomed me and started with a question. "So you have left your job, right? I knew I have to give the reason behind it but as I started, they interrupted me and asked about the thermodynamics's concepts which I answered correctly.

Why Are Live Projects Important In A B-School?
What if there were an option to enter and get a hang of the corporate life before your summer internship begins? Live Projects are an essential part of a PGPB student curriculum at MISB Bocconi. And if you are a fresher, it becomes even more important for you to get some experience before you join a company for an internship. They provide you with a variety of opportunities, both for networking and learning. And who knows? Maybe you'd be able to get an internship via your Live Project!

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.
