About 4 weeks ago, if anyone told me that I'll not get anywhere at 94.57, I used to reply that I'll receive calls at least from IITs (except Delhi and Bombay).
Now, "the nightmare" brought up its hideous head once again, once again all my efforts fell "just short", once again I am forced to question the purpose of putting up all the effort.
I've been at this since July 2008 (3rd Year Graduation), gave the exam 3 times (Jan 2010, Nov 2010, Nov 2011).
Last year I gave my 100% and was able to score 77.xx%tile; this time I made no effort at all, scored 94.57 (emphasizing to show that luck is a major factor that counts not effort).
But beyond this, last year's story repeated itself. I always missed cut-offs by <10 marks, this time is no different.
Finally my last year's result and this year's result:
CAT 2010: OA 77.xx, QA: 65, DI:69, VA:86.xx
JMET 2010: OA: 65 (Cut-off 70)
NMAT 2010: 201 (Cut-off 210, all sections cleared)
CAT 2011: OA: 94.57, VA: 86.39, QA: 95.95. (Missed all IITs didn't apply in any other so I'm not going anywhere)
Now, I'd like some advice on whether it would be wise to give one final push or should I just give it up for good accepting my fate?
Currently I'm working in an IT company, can extract maximum 3 hrs per day for study.
Please give me an honest advice.
