The Transition Phase From The Outside World To An IIM
“In an IIM, everyone is your friend, everyone is your competitor. Every possible series of events is happening all at once. Live that way and nothing will surprise you. “

As they say “It’s not the destination but the journey that counts”. And now as I stop to step into one of the important landing places of my life, IIM B, I sit and reminisce the journey to this place. The ride has started 6 months prior to the CAT exam. The distance was long and the terrain difficult but the focus was clear, and the destination decided. I did hit some speed breakers and reach some road blocks but was undeterred. The first few months were stormy as I had to battle to strike the balance between work and preparation. There were sleepless nights and stressful days. There were times when I hit low trying to explore new ways, paths beyond the boundaries and was left completely astray. But I was motivated to the core to not give up. I fueled my engine with the confidence that “I Can and I Will”, no matter how many times I fall.

What Happens After CAT?
Swanky apartments, luxury cars and a pretty secretary in the office of a multi million company, this is what comes to your mind when you imagine your life post MBA. I started my CAT preparation with similar thoughts, investing two years of my life in an MBA courses and reaping the benefits for the rest of my life. But believe me, MBA is more than just the seven digit salary number. Returns are important but so is the decision of investing the efforts and time is. Through this post, I will walk you through my journey from preparing for CAT to landing up in IIM Indore or the planet-I as it is called.

''Better Late Than Never''

Musings Of A First Year MBA Student
Things happen at a much faster pace in b-school than I’ve ever imagined. There lies an element of surprise that you can’t get away with but can only try getting hold of it. Be it the surprise quizzes (by the time we were still surprised over our first quiz, came the second quiz), impromptu events and what not. Besides juggling between assignments, competitions and other activities everyone is busy testing waters in anything and everything, be it an introvert or an extrovert (although you could hardly differentiate between an introvert and an extrovert). After a month in b-school, I thought that the dust has settled until one fine Friday afternoon, during the last economics lecture before midterm. The professor explained the cost of production concepts and by the time he ended the lecture reinstating the importance of opportunity cost in decision making I was already nostalgic.

A Foolproof Strategy To Crack The CAT
The month of the August has just started and CAT is just 4 months away from now. So it is the time to accelerate your CAT preparation and improve your skills and knowledge for those 3 hours for which you prepared for last 1 or 2 years. In January 2018, when the result of the CAT will be published the thing which will most matter is the performance of those 3 hours, not the effort you gave for the last few years. So failing at those 3 hours means that you have to wait for another 1 year to get your dream.

IIM Ahmedabad Vs IIM Bangalore - A Comparative Guide
Between IIM Bangalore and IIM Ahmedabad, or even IIM Calcutta for that matter, it would be too naive to say that one is better than the other. Considering that placements is the major factor in deciding an Indian b-school for most aspirants, the placement scenario in IIM A and IIM B is pretty similar. However, the culture and the course structure in these two Meccas of Indian education has stark differences. I will point out the differences based on which I made my decision to choose IIM Bangalore over IIM Ahmedabad.
