Great article Ruchi. You have really captured the essence of what goes in the life of an MBA student in first few month. I am sure this article will help all the MBA aspirants to not fall in the trap of so called rat race and prepare themselves for all the hardship before they join any MBA college and can have a differentiating factor from the rest.

I had an ambition to become a Doctor after my plus two. But could not come in Merit. I do not want to do medicine spending lacs of rupees in Management Quota. Hence joined Engineering to have a professional degree as every normal Indian does. Life was tough in PSG college of Technology in the early years as I could not concentrate on Engineering since I felt it was tough. Though I had arrears and so, I cleared all and now I have landed in 4th year of Engineering. I have one more year to go to complete it. These three years of study have made me a changed person in all perspectives. I have decided that I should do Civil Services to bring up my country. I feel that doing MBA in IIM before preparing civil services will still more broaden my prospective and hence planning to prepare for CAT

Hey Karthik!! Since, you have ample time given that you are planning on taking CAT in 2019, i would suggest you to aim for CFA Level 1 or 2 certification. CFA level 3 is a notch higher and you will be well-off with CFA level 2 certification.

And for online courses, you can go for foundation courses in finance or any specific topic on the basis of your interest.

Thank you. Yes, you can surely opt for NISM certification. And i am not particularly interested in finance though.

Hey Prakash. You become a part of the rat race the day you decide you want to take CAT or any other entrance exam for that matter. So, being a part of the rat race is inevitable, all we need to focus on is how to differentiate ourselves from the rest of the people in the rat race.
