Hello,
My brief profile:
10th - 83.6%
12th - 81.2%
Btech - 68.3%
Workex - Almost 2 years in a reputed IT MNC, working onsite(domestic) in the Life Insurance domain.
I am a Btech in Comp. Sc & Engg from a reputed NIT. I gave CAT last year without prep. and got 92%ile. After that i decided to join weekend coaching classes and give CAT a better shot. Couldn't prepare that well as i was onsite and had huge workload but still i was shell shocked to see that i got only 85%ile in CAT.
I have a final call from IIFT Delhi but am in a dilemma whether to join or not. IIFT Delhi is one the best institutes in India but i dunno somehow i feel like i should give another shot to IIMs/FMS.
Many people have advised me that IIFT Delhi is too good to leave...while some have said that yes i should go ahead and give another shot to CAT.
I am in a fix as i always wanted to do my MBA from the top 5 but that would mean another year of working and taking a risk. On the other hand IIFT seems decent too and sometimes i feel wat if i dont get anything next year. Also some people have told me that 2 yrs of workex is ideal and 3 yrs of workex is not that preferred by recruiting companies. Is it so ?
In short going to IIFT would seem to be a wise decision but then i would miss out on my dream and leaving IIFt would be a risk but might just pay off.
Is IIFT Delhi too good to be left ? should i give CAT another try ? Is it too big a risk ?
Please advice me regarding this. Any suggestions.. opinions are welcome.
Thanks a lot
