31st of December 2019 - the Pandora's box was opened - China officially declared its first case of the novel coronavirus. Exactly 66 days later 100,000 people across the world were affected; 11 days and the number doubled to 200,000 people. Declared by the World Health Organization as a pandemic, the coronavirus - lately known as COVID 19 - has taken a serious toll on the entire globe sooner than ever. Today, almost 4.2 lakh people are affected and 18000 people killed across 169 countries.

Last year, someone offered me not an unreasonable sum of money to talk to a bunch of graduate and postgraduate students about navigating early careers successfully.
Now that your CAT scores are out, do you know what you want to do next? What lies beyond B-school shortlists? What kind of a career do you want when you graduate? Let's step back for a second - do you even want to do an MBA? If yes, how do you think it'll change your life? To make you completely MBA-ready, InsideIIM brings you the unique opportunity to interact with industry experts from top brands even before you reach campus! And the best part? The speakers have been B-School students themselves. Learn from their experiences at the event. The event is exclusive only to aspirants who have appeared for MBA Entrance exams for 2020-22.
Remember the stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata? There was always a mention of the sacred guru-shishya (teacher-student) bond. Unfortunately, in those times, the transaction of knowledge was only reserved for people of a certain class and caste. Thankfully, we don’t live in that kind of world anymore. Or do we? While, the number of ST, SC and OBC students is slowly rising in institutes of higher education, the case is not the same for faculty and scholars. In a working paper co-written by Siddharth Joshi (Doctoral Student, IIM B) and Deepak Malghan (Associate Professor, IIM B) titled - Missing Scholars: Social Exclusion at the Indian Institutes of Management, it was found out that, “As of January 2018, of the 642 faculty members across the 13 IIMs, 4 were from the Scheduled Caste (SC) and 1 from the Schedule Tribe (ST) categories.” This report comes as a shock since SCs/STs represent more than a quarter of the country’s population!
"That's the thing about human life- there is no control group, no way to ever know how any of us would have turned out if any variables had been changed"- Daniel Keyes, Flowers for Algernon
CAT 2019 is over! And it is understandable that you are exhausted and feel drained out. Preparing and appearing for a paper-like CAT is hard, as it is a highly competitive race where a million aspirants want to grab seats that are limited in number. But you cannot give up yet. No matter how good or bad your CAT 2019 exam went, you can’t give up. CAT is not a full stop to your MBA dream, rather it is a chance (a gateway) to improve yourself and excel in other MBA entrance exams. So don’t lose your hopes yet. You still have a chance to redeem yourself in the upcoming XAT, IIFT Entrance Test, NMAT, GMAT, CMAT, SNAP, MICAT, Bocconi Test, etc. Stay determined and focused, and you will get closer to your dream. But, that is easier said than done. Therefore, in this article, we bring you inspirational stories of people who found success in life, with or without CAT. Hope this helps you to stay motivated and ace other MBA entrance exams.
