After completing my graduation, I joined EY as the first step to the corporate environment. Honestly, today I can't be more thankful to God for that result. I really needed this experience to help me grow as an individual. Here, I met a person who not only helped me to calm down and nail the CAT '18 exam (play it like a game were his exact words) but also always got my back in every tough day in office.
And there it was - CAT '18. Contrary to my expectations, the exam was pretty good. I managed to score a whopping 96 percentile. I got calls from almost all IIMs.
Talking about the Interviews: IIM K was not so good, however, the CAP interview was amazing. Shillong and Indore were of mediocre standards (if I had not screwed -up the extempore at Indore interview :( )
So, as expected, I converted all the new IIMs. After a week of sulking and dilemma of whether to join a b-school this year or re-attempt CAT, I finally decided to join IIM Ranchi (not to forget, I believe it was God's hint).
If I look back at the three years of my journey to make it to an IIM, a piece of advice I have for all aspirants is - Adopt a never give up attitude. Failures are a part of life, Stay strong and keep trying. Because the time you'll spend sulking would be the time you'll regret once you make it to your final destination.
Hope the story was worth a read :)
