I also joined a call centre and worked there for 2 months to increase my fluency in English. During that time period I also Gradually I started feeling confident about myself and got into some of the prominent companies who visited our campus in the placement time. I was also told by my peers that IIMs, specially Cat is not an exam for people like you who comes from vernacular background. But I overcame that challenge too by practicing hard and brushing up my soft skills. For me no barrier is big enough if you have the willingness to overcome it.
