Hoping against Hopes
Hi All I am working in a kolkata based BPO for last 8 months and before that I had worked in WIPRO for 6 months. If you think there is nothing to give credit for it then I don’t have any hope. I am an engg graduate from one of the many unknown colleges in Kolkata. I have a gap of one year during 5th to 6th semester. My final percentage is just 52. I don’t know any thing about any of my subjects…..I can go on writing pages on all my demerits. But last year in CAT06 I got an overall 91.3 %tile without any sort of preparation. Believe me one my friend forced me to apply for it and I did and I never thought I would write the test But when the results are declared I was surprised and still in a shock. May be this has to do with the fact that I was very good in mathematics in my school and has never scored less than 95% till calss 10th. I just don’t want remember my past or regret for it. Some how after the CAT result I am getting the feeling that if I make some serious preparation I can change my lost career. So guys please wish me luck in my adventure to CAT07. Btw I have decided to join Erudite Just one question – Do you fell my career (bad of course) can be a hindrance in overcoming the CAT hurdle
91.3 percentile is not a bad
91.3 percentile is not a bad one and take my words if you give a serious try you can join one of the elite b schools in India. You have more than 50% in your graduation so there is no way one can restrict you to appear CAT but justifying the 1 year GAP is definitely a challenging task. You can give some valid medical reasons or something similar which one can easily believe.
Some how you have to make them understand that any one in your situation would have taken the 1 year GAP. And finally about your current JOB, It hardly matters what sort of work you are doing what matters is that you have a full time job and the employer is paying you a salary for it. In fact with this amount of experience you can get a good lateral JOB. So BEST of Luck from all the C4Mers
