First of all please do a SWOT analysis of your self, introspect on your capabilities, be practical! If you think that you can crack cat or you have an aim of getting so and so percentile then you should definitely try. Meanwhile get into a job. apply thru job consultants. As you are a fresher you may have to go thru some skill training first in order to get into a company. You can discuss this out with the job consultants. Another way is (if you are really good at carrying out a good conversation) to get the HR no. of a particular company and talk to him directly and express your wish to work with the company. If they are interested then they might ask you to forward your resume, this way things might work out. So dont lose hope and keep trying:)
P.S: Remember Networking plays a pivotal role in getting a job so start building contacts and offers will follow you.:)

Hi ,
I have an experience of 4 + in I.T,.I have got some MBA colleges call.I dont know without it can convert any of them.
If you have a call, that means they are interested in you. You just need to present your profile in a proper manner. GD/PI is about confidence and how you carry yourself. Work on that.
Nirvana_MBA Saysi am feeling very demotivated about my chances of getting into an IIM My acads goes like this:Class 10- 80% (I.C.S.E)Class 12 71% (I.S.C)B.Tech 72%(W.B.U.T)I
Some IIMs give weightage to acads but not all. Your profile is good enough to get you calls from 3-4 IIM calls provided you perform well in CAT.

see the profile u have is gud enough...wat u have to do is to perform well in cat...and once u got a call it will depend upon ur performance in selection process....if u r able to justify ur selection u r thru...
so dont be negative about CAT...
CAT can only be cracked with a POSITIVE approach...
all the best

Ravisha21 Sayswill it b a gud idea if i jus prepare for cat and do nothin else simultaneously..??? plz help.. will dis thng b questioned in da interview?? plz suggest me how can i improve my profile in dis 7 to 8 months??
Hi Ravisha,
You are not the first one raise this concern, so i can understand where you are coming from.
Well, in my opinion, its not a good idea to only prepare for cat and do nothing else, i am sure you will agree that CAT is an aptitude test and not a mugging test, its more of a test of your acquired knowledge then, you sitting down with a Time/CL.. or any other test book and solving answers for 7-8 months without doing anything else.
Trust me CAT doesn't require more than couple of hours of regular study, if you hve 5-6 months with you.
My Sincere advice will be get yourself involved in something more than just cat, there is so much more to life than just one exam.
explore yourselves, what are you good at, keep your options open.
Don't Make CAT your life, otherwise it would be too much pressure to handle.
Best of Luck!
Ankur
P.S-> Yes, your year lag will be the first question in the interview.

since u have a gud %le u will get a call from top b schools(depends u had applied or not coz now i dnt think forms r still available)...
guyz here will help u out better if u will tell us that in how many colleges had u applied????
@akki
Dude, Honest advice!
You have scored well this year. If you can affors to wait one year then give one more shot and this time give it in big way. I am sure you will make this time. And this one year work somewhere , This will help you built up profile and you will have learning too before joining MBA. I would say you are young enough to give yourself one more chance.
All the best

hey its good that u got into Infy! congrats for that..the training is very rigorous and u wont be able to study during ur trng(6 mnths at least)...after the trng u will be put on a practise unit and depending on project pressure u will have to adjust ur study schedule.. i am from infy myself and i have seen ppl have craked the CAT amidst a lot of adversity at workplace ..i also have a frnd in bangalore who took a sabbatical leave of 6 months to prep for CAT but could not do anything effective.. c its all a mind game..u have to come with a strong reason during your PI if asked about tanking a job for a full one year..remember Work ex matters and more if it is from Infy..rest is ur descision dude...:|

Go for it.All the best.

hi guys.........this is really d best thread in pg bcz all threads are concerning for clg discussion. but dis thread is concerning the motivation of students. well my story is as follows:-
#was financially very weak in my childhood...still my father admited me in a big private school costing 1000rs/month.i studied there till 10th. i was an average student securing 74% in 10th.
#gradually more financial problem arosed nd i got shifted to a govt. skul. i was very depresed at dat time while adjusting. scored 70% in 12th.
# got admited in a very reputed clg of delhi university in science stream.
#made girlfriend in 1st year. scored preety bad in graduation 54%. did everything their drinking, awaragardi everything.
#nd dis graduation marks kept me no options for post graduation like msc or bank exams.all need abv 60. atleast 55.
# goes for mba preperation worked hard for 6 months.
#nd result was
CAT-63%le
MAT-97%le
SNAP-62 marks
XAT-48%le
#got shocked wid my embarassing performance. finally applied through my MAT score. then i came to know my major problem, dat is gd/pi. its really difficult for me to utter a single word in front of 8-9 members.
# didnt qualified some 2-3 major MAT colleges. now no more option. really dishearted. can't apply for d job with such a sh##t marks of graduation.
# dont have a big money for donation or management quota.
ya life is tough,but didn't realise earlier during graduation!
well...very hearting to see everyone sharing there opinions..
even i would like to share my journey till here and would like to have some advice from you people...
finished 10th in 2005 in masti from a reputed private school in delhi it was very difficult for my father as we are from middle class background....got just 82.4%
then decided to be a doctor so took medical..that was the worst decision in my life....got 78% in 12th in 2007..gave my heart and soul for prep for medical exams but failed in all medical exams by not much..was getting ranks in 2000 or 3000 in almost every exam so doomed..
if i would have prepared for engineering then i could have been in much better state ..
now had no other option so joined hotel management college in bangalore as i was in no mood to sit at home and study for an year..had so much fun...parties, night outs, clubbing, girls thats all i did for 2 years
when i was in 3rd year i mean this year only decided to appear for cat so joined time over here in bangalore..but again a set back..my dad had spent about 5 lakhs on my graduation...now i am having a job as a management trainee in dominoz...prepared to join in coming june after my final exams in may...
2009 scores....cat 90.15, xat 93.3, snap 87, mat 94.4, iift 29.6, irma 119(gk 21)
its really a set back that i have been letting down my fathers expectations throughout my life...and even few of my uncles have lots to say about me to him that i cant be successful in life..
but now i want to show them and proof this to everyone that i am much better than what my results tell...
i just want to take advice from you people that should i join work and then prepare for next years cat or should i sit at home and prepare..
people are telling that it is very difficult to prepare while working..
but i am quiet confident that i would do...
my advice to all puys that never never give up cause perseverance always pays...

look brother from what ui can make out from ur story is tat this time u hardly prepared!! and lemme tell u if atts the case u hv done good!!! 93 %le in XAT cabn give u decent colls already!! if u wanna take another shot pls work n carry wid studies!! too advantages:- first u will be financially independent!!! tat will amke dad proud and shut all those ppl's mouth ho are disparagin u!!
seond ur work ex will add weightage to profile also u can finance expenses of wat will be required to fillm forms and colls atleast(tats a lot of money!!)
since r aptitude level seems to be good; u will do good i m sure!! also i want to stress a fact here tat ppl pls don drop a year just because u want IIms or a coll which accepts 98 %le!!
trust me on thing- its better to be among the toppers in a good b school rather an avg student in IIms!!!
just my personal opinion!!
