I am not sure why I am typing what I am feeling, yet!
Negativity is certainly something not one should have ! I mean not a bit!
Somehow from the beginning, from the time I saw my wl number, i had this gut feel which said it won't convert!
Past trends, seniors, peers and every unknown person on PG said it's a sure shot convert ! Both Kashipur and Raipur!
When I started my cat prep, my plan was simple, get about 93 and get going to IMT GHAZIABAD PGP core!
Somehow i managed a 95.8, this is where all my worries started!
1. Ranchi takes percentile and last year they stopped at 96, what's gonna be for this year?
2. I have heard people with 95+ will be given DCP at IMT and not core because these are bound to withdraw as there are high chances of them getting a better convert!
I managed to have a good interview everywhere i gave one!
I knew my chances at ranchi and raipur were the highest since they take percentile!
Fast forward,
I cleared TAPMI, and not the worry again started, should I pay, what if i don't clear IMT!
Few days later, IMT cleared!
At that point of time, that mail was the best I had ever received!
Was hoping i would clear XIMB as well, and yes I did!
Paid the initial amount for IMT!
IMI cleared and I rejected it happily!
Then comes CAP !
1194 in kashipur and 500 in Raipur!
Wah I was indeed getting into a reputed IIM!
But my gut feeling immediately said, i am not clear!
Cleared BG, Sirmaur & off late even jammu;
Left them coz I felt IMT was better than these!
Refreshing PG atleast 500 times a day! The number is not exaggerated!
A lot of friends I had made through IMT groups, now made it to kashipur!
The adcom who once told me it's a sure shot clear, now told me, bro don't expect a lot! It's a 50:50 chance!
That was heartbreaking!
But now Udaipur moved by 45 in two lists!
Then out of no where Kashipur started to move in 50+
From 1194 i was down to 99!
Somehow my gut still continued to say it's game over!
Just when i thought so, i was pulled back!
It moved by 80 !
And that's when I was sure it's definitely over!
Kashipur has swallowed more than it can digest!
And the last two days proved me right for the first time!
Well, the person I was, extremely proud and happy to be getting into IMT is now as heartbroken as I could be coz i am getting into IMT!
Well, this is my journey of the last few Months!
It's not easy to quit job and then go through all this sitting alone at home!
I know a lot of you are in the same cruise as I am!
And I am certainly thankful to each and everyone of you who stood by me, who helped me during my tough times!
There is one thing i strongly advocate and request you guys to do so as well,
Believe in GOD!
His plans are way way way better than ours!
Infact it's the best!
Signing off,
Hopefully will be able to meet a few of you at IMT !
Definitely wanna stay in touch with you guys!
