Fast forward to 5th Jan 2019, a lazy Saturday morning. CAT results at 10 AM, followed by an interview call from IIM Calcutta. I was on cloud nine. Later, I got shortlisted by IIM Ahmedabad as well as IIM Bangalore. Yes, the wait was worth it! The first task was achieved, I had secured calls from all 3 of my dream B-schools. The next task in hand was to prepare for the interviews and convert those calls.
Fast forward to April 2019. The final results of IIM ABC are out. I made it to "The place I wanted to B". I'll be joining IIM Bangalore in June 2019. It had been one heck of a journey so far to get into IIM B. The journey inside IIMB is going to be............... To be continued............
Preparing for CAT? You can always contact me if you need any help. Prepare well and never give up on your dreams! Kudos!
I've attempted CAT twice and I've attended interviews of all the IIMs, SP Jain, and other B-schools. Posts at InsideIIM and seniors helped me a lot during my CAT journey.

MBA Aspirant.
10th CBSE (2010) – 89.3% 12th Science stream CBSE (2012) – 63.4% B.Tech (Mechanical) from Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology (2013 – 2017)– 73% Category – OBC-NCL I have 1 year of gap after my class 12 as I was preparing for IITJEE. Meanwhile I wrote class 12 again as improvement and I got 73%(2013). Which mark-sheet of class 12 should I show while applying for CAT 2019? After my graduation, I started working as Inside Sales Manager in one of the growing Ed-Tech startups having 1 year and 3 months of experience in sales from that organization. Currently I am working as Associate Category Lead with another Ed-Tech startup where I am responsible for multiple roles like sales, lead generation, marketing and operation. As of now (8th April, 2019), I am having 1 year and 6 months of total experience. So by the time when I will be giving the interviews for MBA colleges I will be having almost 2 years and 2 months of work experience. Will this much of work experience create any problem while interviews ? Please evaluate my profile and help me how can I enhance my profile as well. What kind of calls can I expect if I score 99.5+ percentile in CAT 2019? Will I get any call from old or new IIMs or Top B-schools like FMS, SP Jain, MDI, XLRI, JBIMS, NITIE with this profile? Please help.

You should show your improved result as you will be able to justify that gap year, and since you are an obc 98 percentile will fetch you a call from MDI ,IIM K ,IIM L,IIM C,FMS,NITIE and if luck is with you then IIM A as well
