My Journey To IIM Indore Mumbai - Pranav Agarwal's Story

It was in 2012 that I graduated from NIT Warangal, one of the best engineering colleges in India. When I was placed at Oracle, a company that offered me a fat pay check, I thought I had achieved pretty much that I wanted. I had it all: a bachelor’s degree from an institute that engineering aspirants dream for, a job that most engineering graduates would envy. Working with Oracle for almost 19 months, I had this dilemma: should I go for an MBA or should I continue with my handsomely paying job. While a Masters degree would help me rocket my career, my job would continue to give me a soothing lifestyle in Bangalore.

The Long Road To IIFT

It was early 2014. CAT results were out and I had managed a meagre 90%ile which obviously would not have allowed me to enter the top notch B-schools. I didn’t write IIFT that year because it had my biggest nemesis in the form of GK. I knew I couldn’t clear it and thus it occurred that IIFT was beyond my reach. But as they say, a small advice can change your life, it actually happened with me. Mission MBA 2015 was on.

My Journey To IIM Indore Mumbai - Ashish Gulia's Story

Back in 2012 ,my decision to  study  Political Science at Delhi University instead of joining NIT Kurukshetra came as a thunderbolt to my parents and relatives - I got a similar response from them when I expressed  my desire to do an MBA instead of joining JNU for  Master’s Degree . But then Indian parents would never say a ‘No’ to a  PGDM from an IIM.

4 Things I Learned From My MBA at XIMB

With the coveted MBA degree from XIMB safely stored in the folder marked with title “Degrees, Certificates & Mark sheets”, euphoria of graduating from a reputed B School gradually diminishing and with ample time in hand which was unthinkable in a fast paced MBA program, I look back at the journey which lasted slightly less than 2 years and ask myself what exactly are my learnings from this journey. I wonder, Is it classroom learning? No. What did I learn from the heap of management books? Not much. Did the case studies make the difference? Not really. Then what is it?

How I Prepared For IIFT 2015

IIFT is a paper which is significantly different from CAT. Similar quant level, easier Verbal section (a good vocabulary is a must) ,  number crunching Data interpretation and easy LR. It also has a general awareness section. You have to rock in atleast two of the sections. And by rock I mean attempt correctly almost 90% of the questions. I went for a kill in the verbal section, since it is one of my strong areas. For general awareness, various Facebook groups help a lot. There are also online courses by HandaKaFunda . Waise, I'd recommend joining facebook groups for General Awareness . They're pretty dynamic and helpful. For Quant , I tried to just aim above the cutoff marks . For LR , any coaching (TIME/CL) module is helpful. For DI , going by this year's trend , try to attempt less questions but you have to be damn sure about what you are attempting . Doing all DI questions in the IIFT exam is a bad idea. Plus , IIFT  intentionally adds some wrong questions for you to identity and move on (they had some wrong questions in DI this year). Two things you HAVE to do if you need a good score . No excuses . 1) Get hold of the strategy Gautam Puri , Career Launcher shares some weeks before the actual IIFT exam . I did and stuck to it religiously 2) Solve all previous year IIFT papers
