I have a very different story, if we talk about my journey to IIM Kozhikode.
I was in army and doing good suddenly an accident happened during a training activity and I got injured with multiple ligament tear and for that i was made to retire. I never had any backup plan but when I came out of army, I had to find a new aim, new career, new goal for myself and this is where I got attracted towards MBA.
At that time I was in Dehradun and heard a lot about Career Launcher. My case was different as it was 4 years I was not in touch with studies, which is required for the exam and I needed a personal guidance and help.
I started my preparation in July end as I had to go through some surgeries, the time was less and syllabus was huge.
Here, my mentor at CL taught me about smart approach towards the exam the strategies. I followed them and work on my part. I was strong and was confident that I wont do wrong in the part whatever I have studied.
The results came out I was just above the cutoff for the calls CAP and IIM.
I had two options to leave and prepare again, as we have a belief that we cannot clear the merit and all that. But then our PDPP program started and my mentor at CL Dehradun, Manuj Mittal motivated that I should just appear for interview and give my very best.
I started my prep. I started doing good and my confidence level increased in due course. After Army, I never gave any interview. So the “MBA gateway” event conducted by CL Dehradun also helped me a lot as I gave interviews for 15 colleges, who came for gateway and was able to clear all of them. This gave a boost to my confidence that I can clear it.
So, I gave all the interviews that came my way and cleared each and every.
So sometimes our mentor knows about our caliber and their motivation helps a lot.
I just thank CL team for whatever I have achieved.
I see life as a journey for exploring, experimenting, experiencing, introspecting, learning, expressing and contributing. It is all about discovering oneself. It is a journey within, a journey to awaken the self, the unexplored, realizing that immense potential and capability to contribute to the good, for self and society. As I progress on the journey within and without, with my family and fellow travelers, I seek space to introspect and express my thoughts, ideas, views and aspirations that so emerge and I am making use of this space, to reach humbly to the world outside. Every comment or thought you leave here will be of immense value in my journey. check my website www.sreeni.org for a whole new world!
