How Should A Final Year Engineering Student Manage Time For CAT Preparation And Campus Placement?

How Should A Final Year Engineering Student Manage Time For CAT Preparation And Campus Placement?

Last year I was in NIT Durgapur and the campus placement started at the month of July. There were many good companies that came to our campus for recruiting. All the students tried their best to get into those companies so the competition was very tough among the students. Also, there were some students who have another dilemma either they should prepare for Campus Placement or they should prepare for CAT.

Struggles Of A Fresher In An IIM

Struggles Of A Fresher In An IIM

It is strange how sometimes we randomly find things which we didn’t even know were missing in our lives (close enough to Latent needs in Marketing terminology?). I remember, at some point in time during the sixth semester of my B.Tech, being utterly clueless about what was missing in my life I decided to give CAT a shot. We all strive throughout our lives to rise above mediocrity. Hence studying in an IIM was always ‘The Dream’, but my preliminary research taught me, simply a good score in CAT can’t fetch you your dream. A large portion of my CAT interview comprised of me arguing with the panellists how I think CAT’s policy of providing an extra weightage based on work experience is unfair and increases the challenge for freshers to get into good b-schools. That day was the beginning of the journey where we have to prove our worth at every point to make ourselves noticeable in the harsh lifeless corporate world.

From Rourkela To Ranchi - 'I'll Be There, With Open Arms And Open Eyes' - Sourav Banerjee's Journey To IIM Ranchi

From Rourkela To Ranchi - 'I'll Be There, With Open Arms And Open Eyes' - Sourav Banerjee's Journey To IIM Ranchi

As the train left Rourkela station on 16th of june, 2017, there wasn’t a tiny bit of sadness on my parents’ face. There was but a whole ocean of pride, easily discernible. Their son was going to an IIM, the nearest one to home.  “Make sure you come home on alternate weekends, beta”, were the last words I heard my mother say before the train noisily dragged out of the station.
