It's been 4 ....ing years and yesterday was the toughest, when my dream b school call Iim L gave a MR of 900. My 10 th scores were always a problem and i was happiest when 3 years ago I came to know that L doesn't give any weightage to Xth. Last year I burned all the bridges when i left my job to join a new iim and after attending the very first introduction session i decided to go for one last attempt. My reason on paper was that i already had a middle office role in one of the top finance firms, so what's the point of doing an mba if there are no front end roles in this campus less college. But i think somewhere it had also to do with that my friend who started this journey with me made it to iim L and was now earning 25 lpa and i thought how is he any different from me, why should i not be exposed to same opportunities as him. And. After a decent cat i finally got that interview call. I was able to speak to my college buddies with some confidence after a while, i gues i had attached my identity to all this cat stuff and thought this was what determined the success. It's very easy to say ' life is long and not only about mba' but these setbacks make you question your whole being. Maybe i didn't get lucky because I wasn't good to others or maybe if i had kept my calls a secret and not let everyone jinx it, maybe that would have gotten me a convert. All the logic goes for a toss. I have been raised in a surrounding where education was means towards glory, so how could i not make mba my identity, what else is there? All these hobbies don't excite and trust me the reason i have low acads is because i have tried every hobby. While i type this, i acknowledge that i have some convert and thank god for that. But i don't feel like talking to my old acquaintances, to whom i was waiting to show when i converted iim L that all this carziness of 4 years were worth it. But most of them will laugh and that's okay , all i hope is i find some good souls in my mba with whom i can find my next Identity.
30th November, I wrote an AIWTSAC and posted it here. It was a sad one. At the time, as per initial impression of CAT 2020, my 4th and final attempt, I had given up hope. Which made me share my journey here. A lot of people reached out and it gave me some strength. Very soon after that, our answer key came out and to my surprise, I knew I'll be scoring somewhere close to 99. 98.86 it was ! I could not be happier. I always knew that the biggest hurdle for me would be a decent score. And I finally had it. Then started the long 3 month PI prep journey. I immediately enlisted with Mr. Malay Ray who has a great track record of ABCL converts. Then the calls started pouring in. I got all calls except ABC and SP. I quickly shrugged off the feeling of missing out on ABC despite my pretty decent profile. I was focussing on the task at hand. Getting through Lucknow became my sole priority. But to be honest, I was very serious about all my PIs. 4 CAT attempts make you that way. I was ready to settle this time with any of my converts. I kept working on myself. Identified the areas that I could improve and the the different scenarios that my PIs could have. Meanwhile, I took yet another gamble and left my job in march. I was confident about clearing something and was saturated with what I was doing. So I thought a 2 month break would he healthy. But all of this quickly fell apart. My grandmother tested positive and unfortunately, she lost the covid battle. My mother was also positive but fortunately she recovered. I had a covid scare with my throat and chest getting all congested. My throat is still not a 100% and I'm always paranoid and nervous. My mental health had gone for a toss. Suddenly, the results did not seem to matter. It was just about survival of my dear and near ones. My family and friends stood by me while I was nervous every single day, still am. 2 weeks back, the results started pouring in. And this gave me and my family some much needed positivity. Today, I could not be more proud to tell my PG fam about my results. Converts - L, XL (HR), S Waitlisted - K(40), I(MR 812) I will be joining IIM Lucknow. I hope to stay in this community and help out anyone who needs it. Please feel free to reach out and I will try my best to help you out using my experience of so many attempts. I really request you all to maintain all sorts of precautions and try and maintain a healthy mindset. Nothing else matter more than family and health. Thank You all.

Hey Everyone.
With the results of CAP starting to come out, I would say congrats to everyone who have got their converts this season. For others who are on waitlists you can go through the blog to know about the waitlist movements for CAP colleges (just search for IIM XXXXXX, replacing XXXXXX by the institute name and you should get the post).

Also, one thing I wanted to say as I have received quite a few messages from students being disappointed from not getting their dream B-Schools. Remember the seats are limited and someone or the other will always face the disappointment. However, not getting into your dream B-School doesn't mean the end of career. You might be having some other calls and converts think about those. If you feel you can do better than this time and have the capacity go for CAT 2021. But what I wanted to say is think of Plan B.
Not doing an MBA from IIM ABC doesn't mean that you won't get into good companies. The tag does matter but only until a certain point in your career in the corporate world. Post that it is all your internal talent, smart work and dedication that would take you forward. So don't start feeling disappointed right away, think of a plan B and most importantly stay positive !!!!!
May the force be with you and All the Best !!!!

Life of a GEM Fresher candidate, waiting for CAP results ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Congrats to everyone who converted under general category. You deserved it and hope you all do well in the future as well!
Not an AIWTSAC, but more of a disappointment rant.
What I have understood from my 2 attempts of CAT is that if you are a GEM Fresher, 99.5+ is a bare minimum, not only to get calls but to eventually convert them. I scored a 98 in CAT this year with 92/93/87 profile, lot of PoRs, good communication skills, clear goals in mind, decent extra curriculars; but sadly no work experience. As far as CAT score was concerned I only had hopes from CAP IIMs, that too Udaipur and Trichy.
With the kind of CAP interview I had, I was very sure that I'll make it to the forementioned IIMs (in subsequent lists if not in the 1st). Among all the interviews I appeared for this year, CAP was THE BEST. I'd personally rate it 9.5/10 because anything below it would be injustice to my performance in the same (And mind you, I rate most of my interviews and achievements conservatively). After seeing IIM U's result today my belief in the system has shattered (WL 1200+). I'd not make it to IIM Trichy either.
I believe there's a hidden criteria set by all the IIMs - 'break the 96-98%iler GEM freshers in any way possible'. Absolutely gutted.
That said, I'd like to congratulate the 96-98%ilers who were able to convert SPJIMR and the OP CAT nailers for making it into their dream colleges. I don't know how it feels to have achieved the dream, but I hope one day, I'll feel it too.
PS: I won't be taking CAT '21.
Paisa nikalo bhailog
Does anyone get rejected in Trichy or they just waitlist everyone?
Anybody who has converted L and any one of below.
- C
- B
- A

CAP IIMs to those who rejected them last year :(
Ironically, too much motivation is depressing ;
Can't believe that theoretically speaking, I have a better chance to making it to NITIE, SP Jain or XLRI HR based on my waitlist number and trends rather than IIM Udaipur, Raipur or Sambalpur. I know that each college has their own criteria and they have a right to pick and choose but the entire process feels like a massive sham. A single 10 minute interview with almost no relevant questions related to one's work experience for 9 IIMs and 2 months of waiting to see this shit? Speechless. Aaj aukaat dikh gaya khud ka.
What is the last date for accepting offer for IIM A, B, C, L, K, I FMS, XLRI, SP Jain, IISC Nitie, Sjsom, iit delhi dms Converts pls help... It wouldbe helpful for many people about when to expect next waitlist
