Hello Pratibha, thank you so much for sharing such a highly motivating story from your life. I am at a similar juncture in my life and you have no idea how much I was thinking the same of taking a break for a year, as I feel I'm mentally drained and need a break due to my mental health issues. However I have a question, you said you started your CAT prep in your 3rd year and you gave your first cat in 2017 by that time you were in the middle of your fourth year if I'm not wrong, you then again had your successful attempt at CAT in 2018 by that time you were just fresh few months out of college. So you had travelled during your final semester in engineering by my estimates. How were you able to manage your final semester and traveling and cat preparation and everything together. I'm eagerly looking forward to your reply, please help and guide a brother in need. Loads of love. Ps- love your blogs

Hi Anubhab. Yes you are very much right. I traveled in my last semester as I didn't have to go to classes much. After my graduation, I went to Egypt for 1.5 months. Coming back, i started to prepare for CAT and also prepared for it briefly while at Egypt. Then as soon as CAT and other exams were over, before results came and interviews started, I traveled to other places. During this time, I was also preparing for my GD PI along with traveling. Yes, it is important we talk openly about mental issues. If you feel drained, there is no harm taking a break. But you must also prepare very hard for CAT as the success is the best way out of the condition. It brings many possibilities and really heals you. Hope it helps! Let me know if I can help you in any way.
