My tryst with the CAT is quite different from that of others. It starts with my floundering academics in my Undergrads.  I had waltzed through 10th with 88% in a relatively easy state board, taken up biology next (doctor dreams, you see) and after having a front-row show of bio, decided that medicine was never going […]

Being an academic, how would you describe the changes in Management education over the last two decades? Management education in India has come a long way since 1953, when IISWBM – the first official management institute was established.  A few years later IIM Calcutta and IIM Ahmedabad were established with the aim of providing American […]

As i write this post, I have completed (I presume) a term at IIM Bangalore. Back at home, with Term 2 about to start, I felt I would pen down my thoughts in this sacred thread which motivated me and kept me going for 4 years. I still remember the AIWTSAC of Rohit Gupta and […]

As I pen this down I cannot describe the feelings, emotions, and adrenaline running down my veins..(Tread with caution .This post is gigantic and might bore you off …read only when u have enough time..)

Finally I am making a post on this sacred thread… The thread which is always been source of inspiration for me ever since I came to know about this wonderful world of Pagalguy. Well to be honest I have neither cracked CAT nor got admission into top B-school like IIM A/B/C or XL . After […]

Like most students, I joined coaching classes for preparation. Like most engineers, strong at quant. I was weak in verbal, perhaps from my schooldays. I had scored 67/100 […]

And that good news came. Out of 42 months, we can do industrial training in last 9 months. I opted for that opportunity. Had a hang of the financial markets in the free time. Sounded interesting. So wanted to do something in that area. The resume was good. So didnt find it difficult to get […]

XLRI’s decision to make the OMR sheets public is a turning step for MBA in India. For a while now, MBA entrance exams have attracted  a fair share of heart burn among candidates. Be it ‘time-worn’ issues like the never-to-be understood normalisation process or just the always unanswered questions about wrong ‘questions.’   In some […]

(Never thought in my wildest dreams that I’ll get a chance to update this.) CAT-08 season continued – So here I was sitting with all rejects. No job. I went completely blank about my future.
