Can anyone tell me or atleast refer me to a site where I can understand the total admission process for JBIMS for out of maharashtra candidate? Also, are the deadlines over?
So, I've decided to give CAT '21. And I think it's important to prepare with a group of dedicated aspirants who can help each other and push each other to the limit. The problem is I have a 95%ile in CAT and a 99%ile in XAT. So, I don't really have fancy percentiles to signal my dedication.
How do I go about finding a group of serious aspirants? It might be a weird question, but I've been thinking about it so I thought I'd ask you veterans as well.
Hot take: IASs are problem for India.
I know this will raise many eyebrows but based on what I have seen and read, I think they have failed to deliver as a whole (obviously there are exceptions to this but that proportion is miniscule). I don't mean no offense to the ones who have been preparing for the much coveted UPSC and similar exams to get to the top of beauracracy or have prepared in the past and neither am I trying to stigmatize their efforts. I have much respect for the exam but I have little to no respect for the profession. I work as a data scientist for one of the biggest pharma companies in the world and there is much pressure on me from my parents to give UPSC a shot so that they can boast about his son being a civil servant. Whereas I love my job, I am earning a decent money and I absolutely loath the Civil services because they haven't done nothing to change our indian society for better. The flaw lies in the very mindset. Although they throw around a lot of pompous cliches in the interview room on how they will "work on women empowerment" or "bring the underprivileged to the forefront" but once they get into the system they just become "one of them". Cause they never cared for these things, they just wanted to see themselves in a position of power and a cushy "stable and secure" job for their whole life. Politicians are dumbshit and you would be fool to expect anything good from them. But these people who are educated enough to see the real problems in our underdeveloped society, most of them just turn blind eyed. These people are rarely held accountable because normal citizens aren't even aware of their responsibilities. And when anyone tries to double down on them, they just have one excuse "system is not letting me...", when they knew from the beginning what they are getting into. They are as much problem for India as are the politicians. Again, to those who have strong counter feelings about this , I mean no offense. But I hate these fuckers....
“Mann ki Baat” | My AIWTSAC 2020 |
It’s somewhat a different aiwtsac. I have not converted any IIM BLACKI calls, but still this one is special for me.
So the journey started in 2019 when I decided to write CAT. Cat’19 was my first attempt ,so just for the sake of getting used to the exam pattern, I wrote the exam and got 83.38 percentile. I was satisfied by my results as I gave the exam without any preparation. I got the boost and decided to give a serious shot to CAT’20. I started my prep and enrolled myself in the year long class room programe. I was working at that time, so I decided to join the weekend classes. Everything was going smooth until the mock season started in May’20. In the very first mock I got 55 percentile and was completely dejected. In the next 2-3 week, I gave more mocks but the percentile hardly touched 70’s. Even after going through all the basics and solving plenty of questions , I was not seeing any improvement in my mock scores. I still remember calling my Dad telling him “This is beyond my level. I am not good enough for IIM’S”. Finally I decided to take a break and I resigned from my job. I came back home in July and again started my prep with full force thinking that things will get better now.
I know many of you will relate that there are times when we feel that we are loosing it and even thinking of quitting it so as to escape the situation. That time my father told me one thing which created a huge impact on my overall well being. He told me that “ beta, sabse bada regret voh hota hai jab yeh lage ki kaash me mehnat kar leta tab toh aaj kuch ban jata”. He told me that irrespective of your results, give your best, no matter what will be the final results. By the D day I attempted more than 50 mocks and in none of the mocks I crossed 90th percentile.
D Day- When I reached my centre, I was so nervous that I was literally shivering. Things which I have not even thought about started coming to my mind like “ This is my last attempt as I already have a gap year and if not today, my dream of getting into an IIM will end”. As a result, I screwed my paper and scored 71 percentile in CAT’20. It was the end of my journey. I still remember that I stopped studying for the next few days as my percentile was good enough to shatter any level of confidence. After taking a 2-3 day break I gave all the remaining exams. Now you guys must be thinking that I must have aced xat and iift. If yes then you are completely wrong.
For reference these were my results-
Cat- 71.09 percentile
XAT- 79.76 percentile
IIFT- 69.87 percentile
NMAT- 233 AFTER 3 attempts
SNAP- 98.2 I cleared the cutoff by 1-1/2 mark.
I got some confidence after my results came out,as now I have reasonably 2 good calls, SIBM Pune and SCMHRD. The interview journey started with SCMHRD which was average and I was not very happy with my performance. The next interview was of SIBM pune which went well as per my expectations.
Verdict- Converted. SIBM PUNE
I know my story is not something which can inspire who is aiming for top 10 b schools but still there are many people out there, who are putting-in, a lot of efforts but are still not fairing well in their mocks. Just wanted to tell them, give your best. Don’t loose hope. You just need one exam to get into your dream b school. Even if you are not doing well, just remember one thing that you have to fight till your last entrance exam and things will surely fall in your place. If I can, everyone can.
Hope it helps and Best of luck to all the future aspirants.

Hi,
I am preparing for cat 2021.
As I am working professional ,my work hours range from 2pm to 11pm.
I need a study partner to plan out schedule.Anyone willing to study with me in morning hours?
hi i am a nc obc non eng (bcom) candidate with 85/68/72 and no work ex at what percencentile do i stand a realistic chance of converting the new iims (not baby iims)
P.S. i am a ca inter student
chup chap CA kar
93-95 percentile with average interview
90 percentile
97+ interview accha nhi bhi gaya toh convert ho jaayega
Just to get a sense of how the WL might move. Puys and pirls who have IIM K PGP convert in hand after the last waitlist on 11th. Request those who are on waitlist to skip and check the poll results.
K is my best option and will be joining
Converted on 11th but will not be accepting
Will withdraw if my better waitlists convert
Have withdrawn after 11th since I had better convert/s
Why IIM's care about diversity ? Coz real world only cares about your caste, gender and color. Look at this BS by FT (most renowned paper) which talks about all these things over merit.
