Ever imagined an interview where you believe you performed exceptionally poor and fear that the performance would leave a mark in your memory for a long time, but the interviewers liked you for your honesty and persistence. Ever imagined that you answered "No" twice to the question - "If you put yourself in our shoes, then do you still believe we should select you based on your interview performance?" and still they announce a "Yes" in the verdict. Truth is stranger than fiction indeed. Let me tell you the story of my interview experience during summers in detail.
Congratulations on your admissions to IIM. What was your overall and sectional score in CAT 2016? Any other exam you had appeared for, please share the score for the same.
Just about 5 days left for CAT 2017. I grow nostalgic as I write this piece. The end-moment jitters, panic and self-doubt are not unusual. But I believe the last week is the game changer. You might have revised all your basics, sat for innumerable mock-tests, practised zillions of questions, yet that unexplained restlessness tends to seep in. But worry not. Here are some handy, last minute pointers to help you gain that confidence required to ace the challenge that lies ahead.

3 Dialogues, 2 Months, 1 Internship - The Godrej Way
"Development of Villages will develop New India" echoed the words of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam who planted the seeds of inspiration for development in my childhood which propelled me to apply for the rural management course in XIMB. After months of hard work preparing for CAT, I finally got admission into this hallowed institution. Yes, it is worth the hype and aura as I personally had the most enlightening experience in these five months. From the very first day, the seniors caught me unawares as they welcomed me in their inimitable style which is a legacy which has stood for the past two decades. This set the tone for the many surprises that the specialised course had to offer.
CAT is done and dusted. IIFT is next. But have you thought about what next? What are your career options? CAT is a means to get you into a b-school and a b-school and an MBA a means to an end. But here's where it gets tricky. Which stream or specialisation to choose? Where should you do an MBA from? Remember that you will be spending 2 years at a b-school. There is some opportunity cost to that. It is an important decision and which is why we are here to help you. To help you make an informed decision. To tell you what a world of Marketing looks like. Whether it is the right fit for you. Or not.
