Part B: How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far?
The biggest challenge in my life was to prove myself my worthiness. Since childhood, I had always faced a tough competition not only in the schools and campus, but also at my home where my cousins were considered more intelligent than me. Due to lack of guidance, I was not able to crack IIT-JEE exam and I didn’t get a chance to study in any of the reputed institute. My life took a back turn from that point. And I had to pursue my engineering degree from a private institute while my cousins were studying in IITs. Though I was able to acquire a good placement and made everyone proud by securing a job as a software developer with a decent pay scale. But this was not what I wanted in my life. I wanted to prove my worthiness and study in one of the prestigious institute of the country. So, when I decided to pursue Management, I promised myself to have a degree from one of the prestigious institute of India. It was last year of my college in 2016, when I gave my first attempt for CAT. Due to lack of sincerity and hard work I was not able to perform well and secured merely 69%ile. I was highly disappointed and decided to take up the job and move ahead in my life. While working in an organization, I realized what my actual goal was. That was the point when I aimed at a goal to crack CAT and study in one of the TIER-1 B-School. While focusing on that aim, I dedicated all my efforts to crack that entrance test and hence, I was able to secure 96%ile this time and got admission in one of the fastest growing IIM i.e., IIM Ranchi.
I believe that there is nothing impossible in our life and we can achieve anything that we desire with our sincere dedication and hard-work. I know this is just the beginning of the journey and there will be many more hurdles and challenges. But I am sure that I will overcome all the challenges with the positive attitude that I have gained in the previous years of my life.
