My Journey to IIM Shillong

The day I remember is not the CAT'14 I cracked but the one I failed miserably CAT'13. On the auspicious day of Sankranthi(South India festival) I checked my result only to see the worst thing. I decided to give up my thought of doing MBA and to focus on job. I convinced myself that apart from saving fees of 15 lakhs, I also can be in a better position after 2 years without doing MBA. But who knows destiny has other thoughts planned for me.

As the injury faded out slowly, my mind again said try once again, give it a try. I knew that my thought of doing MBA hasn't died. It's only  a matter of time I convince myself to give CAT again. This time with everything I has. I applied for full TIME Classroom Coaching. I kept my one month salary for all the expenses Iam going to incur for the journey. I want to give my best and  didn't want nothing to leave for chance. My dedication and hardwork only doubled day by day as the exam approached. I tried to keep myself away from all the rumours of CAT pattern changes, new criteria and merits and demerits of morning and afternoon slots.

The D-day came and as I have a lot of experience in writing CAT :P, I tried to be as calm as possible durin the exam. The paper appeared relatively easy compared to previous years. I came out with more confidence than I went in. This time the results were in my favour and it only boosted my preparation for furthur process.
