So...from posting as a fellow aspirant I am posting now as one of those who have crossed over to the other side.No,I don't mean heaven.....I am now officially a student of IIM Kozhikode and here I shall continue my posts.
Did the ice princess melt under the pressure and became a water puddle...many of u might be thinking :)
The answer is no.This place has just made me tougher.
I have been suffering from cold,fever,insomnia and what not.But I still lug my books every morning and march over to class.The dynamics is simple.Study or else lose and I dont intend to do that.
I am conditioning myself to become as hard as I can and forget about other trivial issues and concentrate on studies.Life here is no less than a corporate battlefield and what my father had taught me since I was a lil gal makes more sense now "When the going gets tough,break it,establish a new one.'
You can be 2 things here : either a party person who has nothing else but only fun on one's mind or a hermit with only one aim that is a good placement as a nirvana.I fall in 2nd category.At first I was afraid...If I am not too friendly,I wont gain dependable ppl but soon I have realised...Just smile and have a core of steel and everything else wud be alrite.I have the courage to stand out and not go along with the herd mentality.Its ok,if i dont hang around with guys just be 'Kool',I can be own person .
This is the beauty of this place.
Anyways...adios komrades...off to sleep.

Results are OUT.. I M IN... hu hu h uha h ha ha

man congrats...and thats so funny ur laughing.

1. Relieving letter is a must, else you wont have any doc proving that you dont work there anymore. And you cant take a full time course/placement while working.

2. The insti gives you sufficient time to produce all the required docs at a later date. You can very well produce it at in August when you get it. But the relieving date has to be that of before your joining date at IIM Indore.

3. The institute takes attendance very seriously, so these options are ruled out.

4. Buy out is the option available to you right now. Try to talk to your HR, boss and his boss. I dont see any reason why they cant accept a buy out from you. Your managerial skills start from right here. Take this as your first assignment at IIM-I. Am sure they will agree to that, you just need to show some convincing attributes of yours.

All the best!

@adhir

I liked ur last point a lot.I 2 hav beeen facing similar problems but wud trt this problem with a new perspective now.

I went to IMI today and personally collected my refunded cheque.So wlist formally moves by 1.

Hi puys,
I talked to Ratna Ma'am just now...my new on hold no is 10, after two withdrawal. There is no candidate out of 120 converted who has withdrawn so far. Only two on hold candidates have taken there candidature back. All the best to all the on hold and wait listing candidates...

I am in converted list and had withdrawn my candidature back on 2nd may 2011.The accounts department guys said the with dawal list will take 4 more days to process....

A bit off topic....
I have seen many aspirants on this thread.All with the dream of making it to Spjain.The lists keep on coming out but the respite these lists provide to all members posting here is as good as nothing.I truly admire ur spirit dear puys.I understand very clearly what all must be going thru ur mind and heart.
I had the same feeling before the result of my GI 1 was announced.There was a time when even after bagging IIM K call ,I was mad for SP.It was my dream to study here...something to do with Mumbai location and the college emerging from Bhavans pedagogy.
I was rejected in GI 1 itself.....I went thru terrible heartburn...it was so aweful.The rejection hurt so bad.I kudnt eat,sleep,do anything...just cried for weeks.But then suddenly after ranting ,raving,sobbing....I had no more tears left in me.Instead a burning anger took place.Questions like "Am I Good?" and resolves like "I will not let this get me down.I will rise above this and qualify for IIM K no matter what" arose in me.
Today,I have made it and I was so damn proud of me ...I still am.
But whenever I visit this thread....feel like saluting all the hopeful puys still waiting for a convert.I kudnt handle 1 rejection.....what u ppl must be going thru after not seeing name in lists(1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th.....and so on).
I sincerely pray and hope for all u guys.....if you don't make it in subsequent lists ,do make it in better colleges main list so that one day like me when you look back at this incident...u feel happy that all that waiting and heartburn wud no more be there.
And for those selected,you guys are really great and hence you deserved it.Look at all those ppl still waiting for converts and treasure what you have .

On a personal note ,I feel main list without wait list or main list with wait list coming out tooo late is just like chopping off a part of ur hope and mental peace day by day.I seriously hope nobody goes through it.

my post is not for 100 or 99 percentilers.Its not for those who are expecting converts after doing everything right.Its for those who have been late in their preparations and have never lost hope for CAT.

This was my 4th attempt.
With just 95.47 OA and 68 + both in DI and qa and 99.93 in VA ,I thought my life was finished.But lo and behold I converted IIM Kozhikode,IMT ghaziabad and IMI.I didnt attend a single coaching class for GD/PI.I didnt prepare for even 1day for CAT 2010.I just had an awesome profile and verbal knowledge...I wont be modest abt it......English has been my passion and English made me get thru in all MBA interviews.I never attended any of those workshops where u r told to mug custom made answers and forget abt GD sessions.

But today,I am extremely proud of myself.I Did it.I made it.I made it when I was at the lowest point in my life.I have attended all my interviews among great tensions and depressions for personal reasons.Ab mujhe khud par vishwas hai ki chahe life me kuch bhi ho jaaye I can deal with it.
People laughed at me,insulted me,told me to forget it .....but I kept my dream alive for 4 years......4 years of personal dilemma,hating my own self but in the end I won when I had the courage to forgive myself.In the past 6 months,i told Life ,fate and destiny to be as harsh as possible but they kant defeat me.My only solace was God and my intended better half and parents....and 1 of my dear friends who always told me that I will get thru....Thanks to all of them.

People ,in this sacred thread,I just want to tell all future wannabes.....If a girl like me ,who had no support for coaching,material,gd/pi workshop etc can do it all on her own...the u 2.If u just and just hold onto ur dream when everything seems dark,u will win.If u just hold ur chin high and tell all others to go to hell,if u just hav the courage to be urself in ur interviews ........u will do it.

I remember in IIM K interview...I kudnt answer 7 qs in a row but the smile was still there....the chin was still held high....the hope had not faded....it was the 8th question 'Why Mba' that made me get thru IIM K wherein I impressed the panel with all that I had it in me.

Remember,if u can still hold ur head high and be brave and keep on working even when life has dealt u the most fatal blow...just hold on,u will succeed.

Today,my parents still have tears in their eyes.....but these are tears of pride......my father is the happiest man .I am the first woman engineer and the first IIM graduate in all 7 generations of my family.For many of IIM convertess,its all abt fat pay package that they wud earn but for me it was the very question of my life,my pride,my existence ......

With God's blessing,I can finally proclaim that my battle with CAT has been won and no matter whatever comes in my life...I will deal it with the same spirit that I had exhibited in the past 6 months.

All the best to all future aspirants especially those of u who are giving CAT again......I know all that u ppl have been thru and sincerely hope U all make it to the best of the colleges in the country.

Warm and Best regards
Vidisha(Ice Princess)
IIM Kozhikode Class of 2011-2013
