Hey seniors, My career so far Xth-80% XII-78% B.Tech-ETC 7.59 cgpa 2009 Extra-curriculars-pretty less only played cricket for college. Got recruited by a good company HTSL Started preparing for CAT and other MBA exams. Had a disastrous season. In the mean way lost my job.They gave the reason that no project now and we don't have any requirment. This was a big blow to me. After that I have been trying in some PSU and banks But no succes till now. I don't want to go in IT sector as i know nothing of it.
I want to know that in which other sectors can i try for getting a job and how? I don't think i will go for Cat this year may be next year.In telecom sector it is too difficult to get a job.I have tried through some job website like Naukri but get no response from them. I am too frustrated now. Please advice me what to do now. Thanks Dinesh

I am CL student.... I am not able to solve the mock questions of CL itself... but you puys are telling that AIMCATS are most difficult.. I am very disheartened and loosing hope if i am not doing well in CL mocks how can i beat the competition in AIMCAT please help me puyss..
Practise more and more...You will definitely improve.This year cat was more about solving questions fast rather than solving difficult questions.

Difficulty of Mocks doesnt really matter.. wat matters is ur comparitive performance with oders Practicing n ANALYSING every mock will help u a grt deal,, i 2 faced d similar prob in d starting I joined only AIMCATS
the best thing about lyf is its unpredictable....u shud never limit yourself, because its only when you dream that u stand a chance of succeeding...look at my profile and then decide if you have the capability to get into an IIM or not...i got thru only because i believed i could do it 😉 -
10th - 84.2 12th - 76.4 engg - 6.8cgpa TIME AIMCATS - only a couple of 90's,rest all 60-70 extra curriculars - only in our college fest,nothing extra ordinary CAT percentile - 99.77% convert - IIM Rohtak!
take inspiration from it if u need any, but just believe in urself and things will surely work out
real inspirational stuff, it should be a benchmark for all those who feel let down among the high scores of their fellowmates just believe in yourself and work hard towards it... \

Hi,
I was in almost a similar situation last year ( and i decided in favor of drop ). Your score is decent and seeing your acads and call from SPJ , i would suggest to go for a drop ( if you are not too much inclined towards taking admit this year itself) .
Also, you will gain work ex in coming 1 year and with a better score, you will have good chances of calls from all top b-schools. IMI is also a reputed b-school , no offences meant but i have always believed in taking the chance till we have confidence that we can score better and land in a better place.
You acads are good enough to fetch you IIM calls and from other top b-schools with a slight increase in your score (seeing this year trend) and work ex will be an added advantage during gdpi.
So , my suggestion, if you don't find your job too frustrating and think that you can cope up with job as well as preparation , you should go ahead with dropping a year . And, since this will be your second attempt, you will need to concentrate on mocks and their analysis more rather than basics which i assume are clear to you for most of the topics at your score.
i am frustrated with my own career now.... _____________ what should i do now...shoould i join IMI if got converted or give it another try?
hi, your acads show that you can put up a good fight.
now it is a pure matter of you personal preferences, whether you are so frustrated that you want to quit job and join IMI. or, you are so dissatisfied with your performance this year that you want to show yourself your actual worth, bear the frustration and convert that energy into an unstoppable force and do well in cat 2010.
it all depends on you now :) just introspect what do you want, the reply must come from within yourself. no one else can give the answer to your question. best of luck. 😃

the thing i really feel bad about is....last yr i was so determined to get into gud b school....got 90+%iles in most of AIMCATS....i should have got in with so much hardwork but my fate ditched me...it feels really bad...and i being a gal will have to do MBA as soon as i can i wish i have ample time and try again and again for IIMs :(..but its just that i know i deserve something gud which i didn achieve this yr

Go ahead and join IMI . Dont torture yourself unnecessary. IMI is an institute of great repo. people try hard to get into it. Just dance on the chance. Who knows how the CAT sits next year .
In such a scenario, I don't think anyone can concentrate and study in office. Moreover, with so many people around you always, you risk a chance of getting reported. The better way would be to finish your work as early as possible, complete the minimum time required in the office, get home and prepare. You might not have internet to read online but atleast you have some peace to concentrate. Besides, if you practice offline, you can very well continue online as well, not at all a big deal as is made out to be.
I fully agree with what my pal here said. Even if you have finished your work, do not do other stuff at your desk as some psycho colleague/ tech lead will start making a fuss. Instead put in the minimum hours, go to a quiet meeting room (assuming they have one free) and study there without any disturbance. Since you are in Bangalore, I think you spend a lot of time commuting. If not, then go home and study 😃

I think... IMI is surely ur Best Convert dis season (hopefully it will get convert) (And u definitely liked it, dats y filled d form)
No favouritism out here.. But in my opinion, CAT has become an altogether diffrent kinda unpredictable game dis season, and frankly speakin.. i'm not too c about d next year too convinced about d next year promises too
So if u think u can "surely" excel next year, and u r satisfied with ur job, n can cope up with it 4 d next 1 year.. GO 4 IT
else...
IIMs n CAT r too unpredictable, wat u ve got is too good. GO 4 IT
P.S. i too got d same acads as yours.. 10th 91 12th 82 Grad 75+(waiting) i arrived on my decision on d above pointers
okay guys here's my story.... i cleard my Bcom in 2009... badly wantd 2 do my post graduation from a reputed institute... gave all d exams of 2008 season... my CAT score was in 80s thot i shud giv it another try... had given IIFT bt missd d cutoffs by 3 points same wid IRMA... i so badly wantd 2 get in to IIFT tat i also did a 6 month diploma in international business.... but next season d same story.... all my dreams were smashd .... now my 1 year is wasted nd apparently another year will also get wasted as i was not able 2 make in to ny gud insti evn dis tym .... wat shud i do guys... give it a another shot next year or shud i end up doing a less frustrating job wid just a "Bcom degree" ... or shud take admission in any XYZ B school ...

i believe taking admission in any XYZ b-school is isnt as good an option as to give another try for a good b-school next year...moreso as u really want to get into IIFT and have done a diploma in international business why let go ur course for a waste and missin the cut off by just 3 marks indicates u are almost there nd ur chances of getting a call nxt yr from ur dream college IIFT are pretty high as nxt yr u'll have work ex as well...
Life isnt tat short tat u cant wait an yr to fulfill ur dream dont get disheartend yaar...just remember one thing
"SUCCESS AFTER FAILURE IS MUCH SWEETER THAN SUCCESS ACHIEVED WITHOUT A FAILURE"
m sure U'll cherish ur goal tat u'll achieve for a lifetym buddy:)..give it a try and dont be afraid of working hard one year more for MBA entrance exams...good luck 😃
Hi, though i m not an expert and not a great scorer in CAT but i can very well relate to u...First of all CONGRATS for such a good score and those converts of Best colleges!! :cheerio:
IMI no doubt is a very good college and as said by "just_chillax" CAT is an unpreditable game now .....One more thing if we keep aside the CAT unpreditableness would be u have already dropped 1 year (assuming as u have 2 CAT attempts) and as quoted by u being a girl u wanna do MAB asap,, and this year your performance was really appreciable and converting IMI is not a lil thing.....
I know its really very tough to decide but believe me ponder over it for some time and u will know what to do Best decision will be listening ur heart..that will make sure u will never regret your decision ever in your life as u want it and its best for U acc. to u and your heart....After pondering over it If u feel u wanna try once more then go ahead OR if u feel i can't take more chance and IMI is good enough go for it!!
Wish u ATB!!
