So, it all began again. Mock tests, practising for quant, brushing up my English skills and brainstorming through DI-LR. But now there was a difference. Along with studies I had a full-time job which took up most of my day. My willpower was tested at times when my co-workers would be out enjoying after a tiring day at office and I had to go home and study, but I pulled through. The exam day came and according to me it went well, and I was expecting a pretty good score. But I was in for a shock. Not only did I fail in getting above 99 percentile, I was not even able to reach up to my last time’s score. Though my marks had increased, but my percentile had dropped. It was a bad time. I had already started preparing for my interviews, but then it seemed like a waste of time as I was not even sure if I would get calls. As it turned out, I did get a few good calls and gave quite a few interviews. As the results started coming out it was rejection after rejection and then some more. I had already lost all hope of getting a good college this year when a mail popped up, “You have been accepted for the PGDM programme at IIM Rohtak….” and that was all I needed. After all this effort, the decision to repeat CAT, dealing with low scores and rejections, I had finally made it. I finally had an admit to an IIM and that was all I had ever wanted.
My advice to all MBA aspirants would be: keep working hard and don't think about the result. Don't give up, because who knows, you may be just a step away from achieving your dream!
