Even before properly introduced to the group, I associate myself with Aditya Birla Group in a big way. All thanks to the educational giant, Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences (BITS), Pilani. BITS, as an institution had always been my dream institution during the preparation period of my entrance examinations for an admission in one of the esteemed engineering colleges to pursue Bachelors of Technology as my Under Graduation studies. I used to see myself in my dreams, as a candidate who’s sitting in the institution’s online counselling program for choosing the specialization of my interest. Unfortunately, I didn’t end up securing an admission from the institution. During the initial couple of years in engineering, I used to have a regret of not scoring the admission. Later, when I started to prepare for MBA and gave my first attempt at the Common Aptitude Test (CAT), I secured a very low percentile that made me ineligible for the next stages of the admission process in the Department of Management Studies, BITS Pilani. In the next year, when I again gave the exam, I secured a percentile that made me perfectly eligible for the next stages of the process to secure an admission. Cracking the entrance of the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) and getting an Interview call diverted my ambitions to NMIMS. Had I not got this call, I would have attended the process, probably would have cleared the process and I would have been in the second year of my Masters in the Department of Management Studies, BITS. Even now, I cherish the thoughts of pursuing my masters in BITS Pilani and having a very memorable journey of two years.
