17th June 2017, a normal day at the office I was on a treadmill to shed the extra kilos which came as a byproduct of preparation when after getting down from treadmill I noticed a mail from IIM Visakhapatnam congratulating me for clearing the admission process. As soon as I saw the email I knew that it was going to be a tough decision. I had already made up my mind for CAT next year but went ahead with Visakhapatnam interview to gain some experience.

My story did not begin when I started my computer engineering course from NSIT, New Delhi, but when I was in school. I had chosen the stream of science with economics in class XI for I had an analytical mind and was fascinated with economics (I am not going to lie, one major factor that drove me to this decision was the fact that this stream opened most doors for a career path in the future). I was determined to pursue B.A. Hons. (Economics) after passing school. Unfortunately for me, I missed the cut off for St. Stephens, my dream college by 3 marks. By that time I had successfully secured admission in the computer science branch of NSIT, which for people who don’t know, is a dream case scenario for many or the answer to some IIT rejects.

A seat in IIM Indore instilled emotions of joy, satisfaction and relief in me, at least for the first few days, after which the mist began to get clear.
