wow, last yr jab Bschool interviews the always sochta tha "Why did i join PG so late, it would have been dream like to be a part of the UDT" but as they say god does listen to u up thr so finally I will be trying to go for UDT this year, lets see mere haath me kya aata hai.
So here I nominate myself for UDT 2010 and hope that I can live up to the legacy of the UDT if I get picked for it.So, what am I waiting for,read on...
name and other info.: Ajay Pal Singh Sethi(B.Tech(CSE),2006-2010, GTBIT)
So here starts a bit of chronicling:
Mocks 2009: Joined only CL, but rocked the mocks with scores ocassionaly touching 99%ile (sorry i could not post the exact marks because as am not a CL student now and don't have access to the analysis of last year).
Exam Season 2009:
XAT: 99.76%ile, first and only time I made it to the rankers list in any real exam
, Cleared the PMIR interview but did not go as over 2 months I realized it was not a course meant for me and IIM ki pukar bhi thi, and for BM I was
WL 58 and then to -->WL 3
:agony:
CAT: 96.40%ile
JMET:Calls from a couple of IIT's
End of may 2009 season and giving up some things desired and some undesired.Being from a small college in delhi(GTBIT under GGSIPU), I was the only guy from my college to get any big calls this season and quite so I was the star for the past three months(my last in college) where finally a guy who had promised to but failed to deliver(I am talking of my grad. scores) had finally done something. To add to it all I had two jobs in hand, Infy. and Wipro.
Naturally I was sure that my WL at XLRI would clr, that is going by past trends but history has a knack of not repeating itself when I am involved, so it did not clr, but I really thank my fellow puys esp d_1, Mr.Kat, nishantvdo,Himanshu kapila and ShhadowZ for standing with me till the very end. So now until I prove myself once more I will be continue to be the perennial under achiever.
Now I was left with 2 options, join a job and give CAT after gaining some work ex. Ppl told me that this was the safer option. The other option was to be involved in a startup that was yet to gain roots and stay in Delhi so as to give CAT 2010 a real go.
Now after the fiasco lat year I was apprehensive about giving CAT another serious try immediately, everybody had gyaan to offer, one day one of my best friends called up(he himself had missed converting his IIM I and L calls this yr), lets call him A.
After a long discussion comes the killer line is delivered.
Me: Yaar, dunno what to do, my mind is numbed, ppl say I should not have dropped PMIR, IITs...blah blah..
A: (after a long silence) Bhai, kya soch ke diya tha paper??
Me:(taken aback) Ki IIM jaunga, woh bhi apni choice ke
A: gaya kya fir?? nahi naa, so just simplify and follow that one point dream, get it??ab dubaara tab milne aaiyo(He is in Bangalore) jab IIM jane wala hoga and I am not used to waiting so iss baar hi jaana hoga,dikh hai fir will call later, bye.
And he slammed the phone down.And his words stung me like a bee.
And as they say the rest is about to be history
So from the above 2 I choose the second option(obvious isn't it
)
Preparation and mocks Season 2010: Will be officially starting my preparation from tom. with my first mock of the season a good 20 days after having almost gone into depression when the rejection letter arrived from XLRI.
I decided to give 2 mocks of TIME that i got my hands on,AIMCAT 1122 and 1119(had missed them earlier) at home and the scores are:
1122 Gave it at home, scored 62 i.e would have got around Rank 500(acc. to TIME website)
1119 Gave it at home, scored 82 i.e would have got around Rank 350(acc. to TIME website)
Gave My first actual mock:
AIMCAT 1117
AIR 1 100%ile(100%ile in LRDI too)
Proc mock 3 Toppers list
