It was 20th August 2018 when I finally quit my job in order to pursue my dream of studying management from a top b-school. Having worked in the IT sector for two and a half years, I was completely out of touch with academics and hadn’t even touched a pen for the past couple of years. Moreover, I felt overwhelmed by the fact that CAT 2018 was just three months away. Although friends and relatives suggested otherwise, but I was quite determined to bell the cat in that year itself as I had no intentions of dropping a year just for preparations. Hence I started my journey by chalking down a three month plan of preparation in detail. Having done this, the next step was to follow the plan religiously, but of course that was much easier said than done. After a few days of preparations and very low scores in mock tests, I found myself questioning my earlier decision of quitting my job, which seemed to be foolhardy at that moment. At times the mock scores were so low that I wanted to give up and look for other career options instead. But somehow I managed to keep myself motivated and worked vigorously in order to achieve my dream. The next few months were nothing short of a roller-coaster ride as I had to face new and harrowing challenges at every turn of my preparations. Finally, the D-day arrived and I was able to come out with flying colours in CAT 2018 and even performed beyond my own expectations. Fast forward to July 2019, I am a proud student of PGDIM-26 batch at NITIE, which is one of the topmost b-schools in the country.
