Hi all,
I had decided long back to write a blog on this - My admission into an IIM !!!
It was just a matter of time before which i could do this. But now I am really happy that finally that moment has come :)
It started way back in my B.E. days. I was in the final year of my college period. I along with few of my friends were discussing about our future course of actions after college whenever we ever got serious about it :P
Pondering over many things, over a really long period, I decided to prepare for CAT and Job related entrance exams, along with my studies at BIT Mesra. Few months passed by and by Gods' grace, I was shifting gears in the right ways. First job offer came from TCS. I still remember the night when the results of TCS came out. It was special for so many reasons. A few more weeks passed by then, when I was at my home, and I got to know that Bharti airtel Ltd. will be visiting our college for their debut Technical Leaders Program 2010. It was one of the very best job positions in the ECE core-jobs market. In Jan'10 that day came when I was finally selected as a Technical Leader at airtel HQ (only 12 were selected from 6 premium engineering colleges in India !!!, so it was something )
During all these, my CAT preparation got shifted to second gear. I accepted my airtel job offer and was then posted at Gurgaon HQ.
Being in my job-role, I decided to learn out of it about Telecom and related matters. During my tenure at airtel, I am very proud to say that I was one of the respected ones among my peers and seniors. I worked as a team-member in 5 different teams, all within a short span of 2 years, which is not usual :)
I led a team of 4 people even when I was 2nd youngest person in the team.
All these things were actually pretty good and so I might have sounded a bit bragging-about-self type here, which I definitely did not intend to. (I would like everyone to overlook that if any :P)
Then I decided to increase my knowledge base in Management studies. I started to prepare for CAT 2011 exam and then appeared in it in Nov'11. The results came out and I was a bit relieved after that :)
I was called for Writting ability test and Personal interview for the provisional admission to the 5 new IIMs. I appeared for the WA/PI process and after it got over, I was really optimistic about my efforts.
Then by Gods' grace, in quick succession of time, I got this beautiful news - 5/5 IIMs converted :):)
Now, after doing quite a few brain-storming sessions and also listening to my inner voice, I have decided to pursue my MBA from IIM Ranchi (PGDM 2012-14) :)
It is one of the finest B-schools in India and I am really thankful to my Gods and well-wishers, for giving me a chance to get all these :):)
Thank you all.
