Posted by | Jun 4, 2022 | , , , , , , |

When I started my preparation of getting into the top B-Schools of the country, I never would have imagined that I would land up in IIM Ahmedabad. But the universe has a funny way of making things work, as it took me four years and 5 attempts at CAT to reach IIMA after I graduated in 2018 from Jamia Millia Islamia, Delhi. Anyone reading this is advised to not go under the impression that this is what it takes to reach your dream B-School as you will find multiple examples of people clearing CAT and making into great colleges...

Farmer’s son, from village Bhauwar, Rewa to IIMK : My roller-coaster ride of learning – Vasu, class of 2024

I come from a small Village Bhauwar from Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh, and belong to a lower middle class farming family but my parents always encouraged us to aim high and try for the best. I started my schooling from a nearby town where I used to travel via public transportation with my brother. These schools were Hindi medium.

Do not underestimate your abilities. Believe. Strive – Ayushman Mukherjee, IIMB Class of 2024

I worked as an operation engineer in Reliance industries limited since August 2019. During CoVID-19’s first wave, I came to my hometown (Surat) for teeth treatment. I sat with my close friend Sharad in the reception area and talked about random things. Till that moment, I was like IIM ABC was not my cup of tea because of my academic background from vernacular medium and fear of VARC. But Sharad told me, “why should not we take one chance?” Profile of Omkumar Talaviya School Sardar patel Vidhyabhavan Class X : 91.60% (Guj Medium) P P savani vidhyabhavan class XII...
