I have converted hrm
But i filled my application form incorrectly and wrote 100% in class 10 and graduation instead of 87.4 and 74%. I wrote a mail regarding this as well as told the panelist during the interview. Will this be an issue during registration that is whether my candidature can be rejected
Admins?
How much do the converted people have to pay to confirm their seats in XL? And if a person is waitlisted in both BM and HR, then are they required to pay 50k in both to be considered for further lists?
I know it feels hard to be rejected after working so hard and getting such high percentiles.I got to experience that feeling yesterday.Seeing straight rejects from BM and HR at 99.72 made me go through an array of emotions.Shock gave way to anger which gave way to frustration which further gave way to an indescribable sadness.I was scared to share my results with people for the fear of being thought of as an absolute screw up.I mean how can one bungle up an xl call with a good percentile.I went through complete self loathing mode that I have become all too familiar with since my JEE days.This was my shot at some sort of redemption after those failures back in 11th & 12th.I worked harder than I ever had in my life.Brimming with confidence and motivation to get a good convert.And then fortunately I was able to translate that into good scores.Alas life has its own peculiar way to shock you and take you out of your fantasy land.Rejects from major iims,some middling interviews,the rejects from spj and xl.I felt lost,tired & confused like a lot of people in my position did after these results.
But stick around and wait for better things to come along.Probably if not xlri jamshedpur,then maybe xlri delhi.Or if not that then some other equivalent IIM like L Or I
Or probably an ABC convert through next years cat.All in all this has been a very humbling and motivating season for me. My parents are really proud of my results in the exams.I can pat myself on the back that I have somewhat decent chances in IIM S(WL-64),which was my only major IIM call.I dont know how the future for guys like us will be like out but I definitely feel that we can be proud of ourselves for giving this exam with our hearts and souls and performing the way we did.I hope we come back stronger and more roaring than ever before. It aint the end of the road,folks!!!
Story of a Candidate who failed
CAT 2007: 99.40%ile (DI-96.27, QA-99.56, VA-90.93)
Acads: 86%, 79.4%, 77.3% (one of the older NITs)
Calls from IIMs: None.
Result day (January 2008): Candidate was very dejected and had more than occasional tears in the eyes.
But the candidate believed that a) every exit is an entry somewhere, b) something would be better in store for him, and c) that the IIMs were a part of the journey and not the destination in themselves.
Candidate spent the next two years working in a large PSU and went through a self discovery mode, constantly asking questions: what does he want in life? What does he covet? What is the goal of his life?
He didn't get all the answers after 4-5 months but got some clarity that MBA wouldn't necessarily give him what he wanted for life.
Candidate then learnt about FPM, applied for FPM, and got through FPM at IIMA. Spent half a decade at IIMA learning about life.
Candidate today: A person on the other side of the table at XLRI (previously at IIML)
What did the candidate learn from all of this? Others can take everything from you, but no can take optimism away from you. Optimism will give you the strength to navigate through unexpected twists and turns and of life.
Results (entrance exams or academic exams) are not the end of the world and life is way beyond and way grand than a result in any one particular year of any one exam of your life.
