Karthik Prabhu's Journey To VGSoM, IIT Kharagpur

Karthik Prabhu's Journey To VGSoM, IIT Kharagpur

There are some days which have the potential to turn our lives for the better or the worst. Upon one such day, I found myself sitting in a room along with several others waiting for the same purpose as mine - The VGSoM MBA Interview. We watched in silence as the screen in front of us displayed the room allotment for our interviews. While waiting for our turns, some of us got together and glanced once again through the WAT/PI kit, which was generously shared by the Admission Committee to help us prepare for the interview. We were, soon, called for the interview. I was greeted with a smile by the interview panel, and this somehow helped me calm down my nerves. The interview went on smoothly and was done in about half an hour. On the whole, the entire process was thoroughly streamlined and concluded without any hassle.

Manik Goel's Journey To VGSoM, IIT Kharagpur

I’ll lay down the objective of writing this piece right at the outset to save you the effort of going through all of it before you ascertain its utility for you. From the way I look at it, this piece should be quite useful to those grappling with bad grades in their undergraduate/postgraduate life and aiming to get an MBA degree sooner or later, fairly useful to those who look at CAT as something potentially exciting and worth acing, and probably just about worthwhile to those who are simply curious to know what another aspirant’s journey was like. The others too are, most welcome to read this even if not from a purely utilitarian perspective. That said, I’ll now proceed to narrate my story.
