http://www.pagalguy.com/discussions/depressed-frustrated-im-really-need-some-advice-25065026

to my post on above link . i want to thanks all puys for guiding me and giving me valuable suggestions and concerns . but still confused ,wht to do in these 5 months that will give impetus to my career . i am cse student , and want to do a job in investment banking, hedge funding ..
Guys, I have converted Welingkar MMS. Can you tell me if it a good B-school or I should give one more try for JBIMS.
Pros - I have caste advantage
Cons - I am already 25 no & seeing the MH-CET pattern this year I am worried as to how the pattern will be next year.


since u can apply via quota.. i think u shud prepare again 4 d top bskuls lyk iims,fms,jbims,nitie, etc. instead of joining wellingkar.

Guys, I have a problem.
Everytime i go into thinking mode as to what others might think if i achieve this, what they'll think,how they'll react if i get good marks, what will they do if i achieve something or get good marks. I don't know why this props up but is it a psychological problem. Why is this happening. How do I get rid of this. Please help

Hi Rahul,

This is a very common thought process every MBA aspirant goes through. Thanks to the ever-increasing # of B-school aspirants...its become more of a rat race (for the lack of a better term).........Believe me...you cannot fight such internal feelings by allocating them time, neither is any good gonna happen pondering on these endless questioniarre....you have to (i know its easier said than done) overcome the resistance and try and focus on some other things....i mean....catch interesting articles on the web, watch some motivational videos, catch some great movie (inspirational video or for a break some ROFL stuff). Doing all of the above would make you realise the fact that at the end of the day - Its just another dream you are trying to fulfill. Its just a thing you are passionate about now.....Life has many things to offer....Do not stop LIVING in order to follow your dreams...

Enuf said....being a movie freak that i am...would recommend two movies that cud uplift ur spirits....One (must watch) Little Miss Sunshine
Two (Zindaggi Na milegi Dobarra- not a personal fav. but saw a lot of ppl connecting to the theme...so thot..mite help!!)

Hope it helps..!:D

Good one .... keep it up

Hi
Life is indeed more unpredictable than our Met department.Have you ever thought of a life which is full of happiness and where there is everything smooth.I love eating chocolates but what if i had to only eat chocolates all the day and no rice and roti? I would start hating chocolates...right!!
Life is also like a roller coaster my friend,this is the beauty of it.Enjoy the happiest moments of life and when you are in pain remember those happy days and start enjoying the pain and i bet life will get more and more beautiful.
Now talking abt ur current situation.I think u are still working so don't plan to leave the job for MBA.Moreover self introspect yourself that why you really want to do MBA? Any specific plans and find that reason.Try to follow your passion whatever it may be,atleast you will be satisfied that you gave a try.Don't get under peer pressure.Faliures are part of life and the way to success gets through faliures.Learn from them.Keep faith on yourself and start loving yourself and your passion more and more and everyday.If not this year,you can do it next year.Remember life gives chances to everyone but its on us if we choose to fight or we choose to giveup.
When you will figure out the reason that why you want to do MBA and for that matter any other profession than things will become much easy.Its you who has to choose between satisfaction vs materialism.Love your passion and start work for it from now.Things get over when you giveup and don't fight.My best wishes are with you and hope that you will achieve your aim.I am giving a link to my blog where i write and hope that it will motivate you.

Thanks alot.

Institutes like LIBA,Great Lakes,etc.,will accept a correspondence degree holder?If yes,then please list me the good b-schools in chennai and r they resedential? .

Would it be wise to join Tancet colleges if i'm not eligible for b-schools?And in the meanwhile,what sort of job would i be doing to add more value to mba ,prior joining to that.
Thanks alot.

U can give TANCET a try and before that pls do prepare for cat and give the exam. U can do it realy well if u r dedicated to it. and tancet is comparitively a much easier exam. crack tancet and get into anna university or ssn. LIBA needs XAT score. u can also try VIT,vellore by writing cat exam..
btw, i dunno about the job thing coz im a fresher. atb !!!

Hello puys,

My problem is my Academics. I've got only 60-65% both in x and xii. I am feeling really hopeless. I can score good in CAT(other management exams as well). But what if good B-schools reject me on the basis of my low Academic background. Does Academics really matter that much? Or I am thinking too much.

Please give your views.

It's been 3 years since i treated a dental patient, a year since I taught a student, half a year since I prescribed anythin n 3 months since I havent done anythin xcept sleepin, eatin n watchin movies & sports....But one thing dat has always been constantly wid me since last few years is gettin criticised for al d insane decisions n al d bulshit results I have produced. But u know wat, no matter watever shit happens, no matter how much i get screwed, wen I wake up everyday in d morning, one thing wakes up wid me....HOPE.

Hello Everyone..
there is no need to get upset.. in any exam be it CAT, MAT ,XAT etc...
the maximum weightage is given to the written exams ... but that does not mean that other things are ignored.
I know many people are worried because of their low scores, average profile....
but come on guys...
its of no use...

i know stories of 2 guys.
1) X,XII and grad (pre final yr) - scores in range of 55 - 59 range... also engineer
now in IIM C
2) X,XII avg, year back in engg.. completed it in 5 yrs.. now in IIM C...

so it does not matter... mind u these are original stats... 1 is guy whom i met in Achievers Meet of XYZ instt...
2 - i met on pg...

so dun worry... i am also in this range.... actually my teacher says that they see everything from xth,xiith and grads... if u are not good at some stage... then u shud be good at some other.....

so dun worry.... there will be points in time.... where u will feel depressed.. lonely... bored ,tired.... less time to prepare... but we all shud have the courage to face it....

in the end its u and only u

@saurabhgupta
might b true..bt tell me those guys belong to general category or caste??..
i think now a days its difficult to get into an iim with such profile..:(..

If any institutes has been calling you they are not calling you for fun or passing time(you are definitely not a stand up comedian)..
And if any institute wants good acads they will simply reject you in the first place itself..Iim s,k,l,i,b and from last 2 3 years "a" also..
But if you get a call from any institute(c,xl,some newer iims,fms etc),its in completely your hands how to make the most of that..You just cant looking to the door which was never opened for you but you should look to the door which is open..

One should stay hopeful and keep trying. Colleges change their intake criteria depending on various factors. So please don't feel that you are out of contention for so many colleges.. I hope this New year bring joy to all your lives 😉

Hi puys..

I really really need your advice .I think I ve pretty much f***** up my life.Here's my profile :

10th :90%
12th :72%

BTech :78%

I got placed in Infosys in 2010 through campus placements.I d actually planned on finishing 2 years in Infy and then doing MBA but somehow ended up going to USA for doing Masters after quitting Infy after just 5 months.But just before my exams due to family problems I had to come back to India .Going to USA was basically my dad's decision so I had almost no say in that.I think what my real passion is in doing something like brand management and advertising as I think I am pretty creative.And so I really want to get into MICA.That's probably my dream.So I have three options :

1)Find work in some IT company for one year while preparing for CAT.The problem might be finding a decent job.
2)Work in some NGO full time to build up my profile.
3)Take admission in the b schools that I might get calls from.e.g SSBM ,ICFAI ( I gave a few MBA exams after coming back without any preparation ).

What I am worried about is the gap in my resume because of everything that's happened in my life.Things were going great in Infy before I had to pull out and things were going great in USA as well .I am just so upset and frustrated with my life.Please advise.:banghead::banghead:

If you are so passionate about getting into MICA for advertising and brand management, then you can go ahead with preparations for the same. But other top institutes also offer brand management ( though not advertising ). Yes, colleges value work-ex, but you never know, a good score in CAT and subsequent processes can compensate for the lost work-ex.

No need to be disheartened, all is not over yet. A non-IT job is preferable as it would give you some sort of differentiation in the crowd. If you opt for NGO, then you have to make sure that you involve yourself deeply into it so that you have something to say in interviews.

Good luck. Prepare yourself for MICA 😃
