Hi everyone!

I am pursuing last sem. of my B.E. Due to university exams couldnt do well in CAT'05. Got only 74%ile. But i converted my call from ICFAI(some guys say there is nothin 2 gr8 bout it). I dont know y but didnt felt like going for it.

Neways....the other part of the story is that i have a job with LnT infotech which i got durin campus placements. But when i join..i vil have to sign a bond of two yrs. So wont b able to do MBA till expiration of the bond.

Moreover i don wanna leave my hometown coz m sick n tired of stayin away nemore. I may sound stupid to sum ppl. But being a girl i will b gettin married in sum 5-6 yrs. Already i have spent 4 yrs away 4m home....then job(mumbai)....MBA(dont know where).........I wanna spend atleast a yr now near home.

I was thinkin of takin CAT'06 coz i wanna complete my studies in one go.

Now u have to consider n comment on...

1. I did right by droppin ICFAI?
2. Should i go for LnT n then after two yrs should think bout MBA?
3. Should i sit at home(jobless) n prepare for CAT'06?
4. Should i find another job in delhi which is also not too tiring so that I can prepare for CAT'06 as well?

I would appreciate any other options u wud suggest.

please i need guidance.........

Just one suggestion...

Prep for theCAT if you DO crack a school you REALLY want to go to Pay the bond amount and GO for it...

1. I did right by droppin ICFAI? ------ i think it was absolutely right

2. Should i go for LnT n then after two yrs should think bout MBA?------ if while these 2 yrs u get throught a gud institute then dont mind paying the bond

3. Should i sit at home(jobless) n prepare for CAT'06?----------dont do this....this wud be the worst option

4. Should i find another job in delhi which is also not too tiring so that I can prepare for CAT'06 as well?------------there are no jobs in software that r not too tiring... i mean its all ur luck if u get one....also u can try offcampuf for some delhi based companies but they wud also be having a bond(as most companies have).. so what r u going to do then?????

Simple answer: it simply doesn`t matter. Only time will tell if you took the right decision..and it would help if you stopped listening to the voices in your head for a while. take a decision and stand by it. I got an admit to fore 2 years ago and rejected it...today, i hear mckinsey and ernst and young recruit from there, which were probably the companies that i wanted to work with to begin with! i then quit a plum MNC IT job to work in a small 2 room startup that looked like the worst decision in the world...but i`m learning so much here and havin so much fun that it feels like the right decision. Took the gmat after chucking another few admits in indian schools and looks like i have a good enuff score to go to US. i`m not trying to project myself as an example here, i`m just tryin to tell you that something good can come out of even seemingly bad decisions. You need to stop thinking about the consequences of a decision you have already taken and look out for how you can best make use of the opportunities that have sprung up as a result of the decision you made.

2. Should i go for LnT n then after two yrs should think bout MBA?
if you are particular about staying with your family and spending time with them, then why should LnT be given such a high priority to start with? if you have to reject LnT, it should be coz your family is your priority and not becoz you`re an indian woman who`ll get married and blah blah...

3. Should i sit at home(jobless) n prepare for CAT'06?
Absolutely Not, that would be disastrous.

4. Should i find another job in delhi which is also not too tiring so that I can prepare for CAT'06 as well?

jobs are everywhere...in delhi too...you need to look real hard. Moving out of town is not "tiring", it is "TAXING". There will be a hundred other things that will demand your attention and energy when you live alone out of town...these will include some of the basic things that you can take for granted when you`re staying at home or even a hostel. This can include cooking for yourself after a long day at work, laundry, domestic help, cleaning, taking care of finances, rent, commuting, shopping etc etc. If you`re looking to squeeze time out of your day after your work for studying, then you are better off staying at home and working in delhi.

take up a job in delhi and try for CAT. being jobless is too risky coz CATs unpredictable. even two hours a day on a regular basis is enough for CAT. you may have to sacrifice on weekends but its ok!

your workex will not only help you during admissions but will also make you clear on as to why you want to do an MBA in the first place.

also is you are interested in HR(most girls initially are) then IIMs is not the place for you. it would be XLRI , TISS , MDI . so be clear on what you want!

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Definitely Not, its a suicide
4. try that, it will be ideal

moreover, u can check up if LnT bond has the clause of higher education, i.e., many cos have a clause in the bond wherein you do not need to pay the bond amount if u r leaving the job 4 higher studies

do that if u can

yes by not taking ICFAI u took the correct decision.
I think u should go for job and simultaneously u can prepare for CAT .
As far as bond is concern dont take it that much seriously , u can break the bond at your own wish.
Offcourse u have to work hard for managing everything but that is where ur managerial skills will be tested .
Go for job and dont waste ur one year in prepearing for CAT:grab:
