Prepare To Be Unprepared - CAT Conundrums

Prepare To Be Unprepared - CAT Conundrums

There are not many who have the good fortune of having a close friend on campus while preparing to join an IIM, fewer still who have any clue what life on campus is really like. Most of us just buckle up and decide to do an MBA just because it is a sure shot at ‘success’; at least the way society has defined it. Some sorted out souls may have grand career plans where they know exactly which institute to join, what specialization to undertake and which company to work for even! But for the uninitiated majority, we hear tidbits from friends who have cracked CAT earlier and as always, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

The Moment When I Got Into IIM Indore - Srishtie Wahie

The Moment When I Got Into IIM Indore - Srishtie Wahie

Life never gives you things when you expect, you get them when they're least expected. 7:00pm, 27th April, 2018, the moment I was signing off from my office with a myriad of apprehensions in mind regarding the uncertainty I had dragged my life into. Practically, I had nothing at hand, results awaited and a job already over. The moment I was to punch out from the office for the last time, a message pops up on my screen 'Congratulations! I know you'd have made it.' There's this adrenaline rush in my body, the heart beats pace up and the hands tremble. A little soul terrified of one email potent enough to decide her future course was just a click away from uncovering her fate. It happened for the first time that I wanted to stay in office a little longer and know what life has brought next for me. Instead of punching out, I went back to my desk with a head full of all kinds of thoughts jostling past one another and mustered the courage to open the portal and check my results. Ultimately, as the effect of inundating emotions subsided a bit, I closed my eyes, remembered the Almighty, took charge of my own thoughts and thanked God for whatever he'd decided for me. I unlocked my phone and a sudden surge of thoughts made me recollect the expectations that rest on my shoulders and above all, I was afraid if I'll be able to confront my inner-self if I fail at making it.

Why Choose A New IIM As A Fresher?

Why Choose A New IIM As A Fresher?

Being a fresher we always view the world as a place full of opportunities. I was not any different from that. While preparing for CAT the thought of joining a new IIM never even crossed my mind. After the results, I had calls from IIM Indore and the Common Admission Process (CAP). It was quite probable for me that I'd go for IIM Indore if I converted it, else I'd go for workex and take CAT again. But the predictability of CAT is always an issue when one is considering for aiming for it, it's not just the test which would make you succeed. A whole list of factors come attached to the probability of you getting into an IIM of your choice apart from just the test. Although I had planned to go for workex a thought popped into my mind about the new IIMs which led me to do my research for them.
