Part B: How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambition in life so far?
One of the significant challenges I have faced so far in my life is to clear the Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Exam(IIT-JEE). I would consider it as challenging because of the huge competition for the exam all over India. Around 5 lakh students have taken the exam. At the beginning of my preparation, I have always scored fewer marks in the tests conducted on a weekly basis. The low scores have never demotivated me and pointed out that I can improve in the future if I put hard work in learning basics. I have started preparing my own schedule on a weekly basis to slowly learn all the concepts. Although the scores have improved, the chances of getting into IITs was still slim. I have trusted my preparation and gave the IITJEE with a calm mind and positive thinking that I have done everything I could and will give my best attempt. On May 25, 2011, the results of IITJEE exam conducted on April 10, 2011, were released. I was overjoyed that I have overcome my hurdle of clearing IITJEE. I have learned that through overcoming the challenge that hard work, proper planning, positive attitude and perseverance will help me overcome any challenge.
Another challenge was to clear CAT exam to get admission in B-school. When I failed to clear CAT 2016 with good percentile, I looked at it as an opportunity to learn the difficulty of the exam. I focused on targeting my weak areas to improve and get a better result next time. I always look at any situation, especially even difficult situations, as an opportunity to learn, grow and change for the better. I would never blame anyone or system instead I would focus on improving myself. I was able to maintain the same dedication in my effort to learn the concepts to clear CAT exam despite many difficulties and failures in mock exams. I was able to clear CAT-2017 next year with great percentile which earned me a chance to enter DMS, IIT Delhi. That’s it for my story and will meet again with probably with the story of my MBA life.
