Same here guys....I am in the same boat as u r...or even worse.I am simple computer science graduate frm DU got job in Infy in 2008 and was on top of the world joined Infy in August got training in mysore 4 two months and was posted in Pune...suddenly resession stepped in was on bench 4 10 months although I was the batch top performer in Infosys Training program.Finally decided to quit job and give CAT 2009 which turned out to be a complete fiasco.....others all rejects also given atleast 7-8 Bank PO exams not cleared even one....m also planning to commit suicide in case my CAT result also turns me down as I have no option left....
U must have been in band A in Infy I guess.How do I know? coz I am also sailing in the same boat but didn't let myself down as I know that kabhi na kabhi toh kismet saath degi. But the diff is u joined in 2008 and I joined in 2007. I have offer from wipro now for switch but I am trying for MBA first as I know again same thing recur in wipro too. We can't escape that. My CAT was fiasco too but did well in SNAP. Got call from SIBM-Pune. I was cofident of converting it but alas perhaps I was dreaming. When I woke up I found myself shattered. SIBM-Pune rejected me in final merit list not even waiting list. But I thought that SIBM-Pune doesn't deserve me. Think in that way dude. Suicide is not always the solution to any prob . Ur prob is u r underestimatin urself. everyone is unique in their own way and find a solution when right time comes. u r pretty young and u can fight a long way..So don't give up and if any more query shoot them to me...Would be happy to answer....

Bhai tum kar kya rahe ho apni life ke saath??:nono::nono:first this girl is telling you to get into a good and reputed MBA college(IIMs I guess!!)..Now after you'll get through any reputed college, she'll demand you to get a job in one of the top MNCs(AIG,BCG and JP morgan to name a few) with astronomical salary and perks....No offense meant to your GF...but just think of this-"are you sure she loves you and not what you'll be after some 3-4 years??" A sincere advice-live and chase the dream only for you!! at the end of the day its you who'll be benefited directly from that!! I'm not against your love or something like that but use this love thing to bolster your chances to sail through any difficulty and not to make this as any speed-breaker in your life!!!!

My advice will be : DUMP THE GIRL DUDE She loves u or ur college:nono:.........Love is not about stipulations freind ...... What else to say.....hmmmmmm.......chhodo yaar kitna gyan doon(i feel "raghav baba" ne kafi de hi dia hai.......) bus bindaas reh aur chill kar
Hmmm....seems like a lot of ppl want to commit suicide these days, well i have no more advice thn the ppl abv have have been giving but would want to say just one thing " yaar suicide karni hai to kar lo , baar baar pakao mat ... agar dum hai to karke dikhana " If u do not hav wat it takes in life to succeed and if you think that every small failure should lead u to one solution of taking the easy way out i.e suicide , thn u r nt worth living. Go and ask a person who is on deathbed wat the value of life is ...
I would just say, before commiting suicide just think how your beloved( parents, brothers, sisters etc.) will be able to stand this blow. Just think your parents have nursed you when you were small baby and raised you. How they will be able to live happily without you.
And if some one feel low or isn't able to achieve something, just keep telling your mind that you can achieve it(to sub-concious mind). A positive attitute and hard work can get you to top of the world.
I have a very similar story to most of you. I am average student who like many of you joined the IT sweat shop and felt the heat after being asked to work for 7 days a week and 14 hours a day for 3 months straight. Used to leave home at 6 in the morning..travel 80kms and 3hrs by bus and then reach home at 1030 PM everyday. Quit my job in september to give CAT, slogged for 16 hrs a day continously and was massacred on the 3rd of Dec afternoon slot.
A little history of my MBA journey now. Year 2008 Exams given Result Calls CAT 96.08 none (Applied only to IIMs) XAT 97.90 none (Applied only XLRI BM) FMS 96.80 none (Applied only to MB-FT) MH CET 96.xx none

IBM Told me they would contact. But Didnt Dinged Goldman Sachs Told me they would contact. But Didnt Dinged Fiserv Told me they would contact. But Didnt Dinged WIPRO Told me they would contact. But Didnt Dinged
EDIT: Finally got through ZS Associates in Pune as a Business Operations Associate on the 25th of February. Yipppeee!!
Inspite of this unenviable record, I believe I have it in me to make it to a Ivy league college in the USA. I will now get a job asap and prepare for GRE to do a MS in FE or wait for another year and improve my profile with CFA -1 and 2 and then apply for MBA. In the meanwhile also learn a foreign language like spanish. My goal is to then write a testimonial in the hallowed thread "All i want to speak about CAT" after being admitted by an ivy league skool. I'll be patient and will work towards my goal.
Now for ppl contemplating suicides let me tell you what you can do to redeem your pride. My two cents...
(1) Invest 3 hrs to watch the "Pursuit of Happyness" and read about Chris Gardner to understand this much maligned word "struggle" . Trust me you'll be glad you werent in his shoes.
(2) Something more concrete now. Apply to all job sites aggresively. Make a prelim resume and get it reviewed. Post in on Naukri, Monster, TimesJobs, JobStreet etc. Calls will start pouring in after 10-15 days. Use this time to brush up on IT fundas by then. I finished Core and Advanced Java, Oracle in 7 days flat
(3) If not, then start identifying the areas of interest in the meanwhile. If you like finance like i do, then go for NCFM courses for starters and then see if you can handle (and afford :shock:) a CFA/FRM level 1 exam. Likewise for ppl who like java target SCJP and ppl who like the telecom domain you can look at a ITIL etc.
(4) Do not spend time thinking about suicides. Its a cowardly act and you can do a lot more than this for your parents. Utilise that time to improve skill sets. Also talk to people who are lively and cheerful. Do not spend time with people who are perpetually sad and gloomy. Believe me...it helps. Dont sit idle at home. Try improving your profile. It will always help you in the future.
Hope it helped.
EDIT #2 (18th March 2014) : After working at ZS for just slightly less than 2.5 years, I was admitted to the Rotman School of Management, Canada. I have almost completed my MBA now. I secured 3 internship offers in the Summer (J&J;, Eli Lilly and a local law firm), accepted J&J; and will be joining them full time in July 2014 as an Associate in their analytics arm. In the 2 years that I was at ZS, I gave the CAT once again (I am pretty shameless :D) - and finally tamed it - I got 99.5 percentile (99.9 in English and 98.7 in Quant &DI;). Given the "unique" criteria of the IIMs (which promote gender based discrimination in the name of "diversity"), I got only 2 calls from IIM L and SP Jain. I couldn't clear both (More on that later). I got into the newer IIMs (Rohtak, Ranchi, Raipur etc.) but I didn't want to go there. During my MBA, I began liking marketing analytics and data sciences and gave up on my infatuation with finance because: (1) It was very difficult to break in without previous work exp (2) I wanted a life after 6 PM on most days :).
The reason I write this ‚Ź €šis because I have realized the two most important things for your dreams to come true during this entire period: (1) Patience - You have to be patient. Just because you see your friends get into IIMs and secure good jobs doesn't mean that you will not "catch up" later. Different people take different paths to happiness and fulfilment and (2) Persistence - You just have to be persistent and "shameless" in the face of repeated failures. After all, you cant fail for forever if you improve every time you attempt to do something. (3)little bit of luck
Dont give up and always believe in yourself even when no one else really does. Success will be yours!

Can't help commenting on it. SERIOUSLY AWESOME POST. Very well said. Just one suggestion (Seeking Java,j2ee jobs) : Apart from Core Java, sharpen in J2EE concepts also. Even I am in same boat, only difference will be I have 4 years of experience. Be aggreasive, Market is definitely up, I can see a lot of openings for fresher as well as experienced candidates. Settle down, gain experience and with fresh vengence again have a dig @ CAT/GMAT etc.
We guys are born to be MBAs and we will be. In the meantime, we have to be patient and work on our profiles.
If anybody wants any kind of help in Java, J2EE domain, do PM me. I am telling you guys, don't waste time, market is up start applying, lots of opening, get the job and set for preparation.
I have been through this blog and seen a few places where people of the age 21,22,23 :nono:saying that there exam was devastating and :nono:they donot understand what to do. they are ruined and so on:nono:.
These puys I think are just writing for the sake of writing here,
You all guys are young and have lots of time to prepare for ur MBA , rather that writing all stupid stuff here.
Guys please let those people express there feeling who realy are in the wrong boat after the Cat this year .
I do not want to Offended anyone but just want that people should be sensible while writing especially in this blog.
Is this some kind of a joke? What is this talk about suicide as if it is some new fashion in vogue. I am far older than you guys and have seen life enough. Those who intend to stupidly snuff out their lives don't write about it and ask for advice. You are not marrying, you are trying to die. So stop wasting your time, go back and start studying.
Same here guys....I am in the same boat as u r...or even worse.I am simple computer science graduate frm DU got job in Infy in 2008 and was on top of the world joined Infy in August got training in mysore 4 two months and was posted in Pune...suddenly resession stepped in was on bench 4 10 months although I was the batch top performer in Infosys Training program.Finally decided to quit job and give CAT 2009 which turned out to be a complete fiasco.....others all rejects also given atleast 7-8 Bank PO exams not cleared even one....m also planning to commit suicide in case my CAT result also turns me down as I have no option left....

Regards, Sourav.
You are right sourav, they are just writing for sake , they have hardly passed out of the college and saying words like comitting suicide etc. They donot know even when they will start working there life will be more tougher then what it is right now. So as sourav says go and start studying , rather than wasting the time blogging here and thinking of stupid things like Suicide.
One thing what i want to say which is extracted frm Bhagvat GITA... WHATEVER HAPPENS HAPPENS FOR R THE BEST. we can take simple example frm our life wat we achieved, wat position we r we r lucky 4r that. Many peoples r there who r not fortunate to live a life lik us. So instead of getting frustrated lets look forward and give our best shot so that same thing won't be repeated again. My definition of failure is nothing but just we r gaining some experiences so that nat time we r doig d same thing we became cautious to repeat d mistake again. So more failure more experiences we gain. And beleive me experiences makes people better. And lets try to enjoy lyf what nature give to us actually we remain so busy in doing our daily stuffs that we r not able to give time to think abt us wat qualities do we hav.
agar ab kissi ne yahan suicide karne ki baat ki toh unhe narak se dhund kar laaunga aur itna maarunga ki suicide ke spelling bhi bhool jaaoge
puys, although i am famous on this forum as JBR (you know what it means ;))... still I'd not indulge in much gyan sharing and Pravachans as you will feel fed up...
one thing i like to mention here... "You all are blessed, believe me!!! You will take some time to realize that; once you do, you will be thanking God for the same and may be me too from a little corner of your heart."
enjoy your life puys, you won't get it again. :D
what is jbr?.please enlighten.... @i have become ur fan sir:w00t:
hi i m Mohil. doing b.com tax final year frm rennisa.my aggr. till second year was 51%. My counsellors are suggesting me to do mba in marketing... bt others say tht der is no scope in marketing. u hav to travel here nd der for marketing nd all... i m vry gud in computers. my frends keep telling me tht u shuld go in computer field.. wat shuld i do in dis case i m nt able to decide... pls suggest me. vl b waitin for ur suggestions. thanx
Mohil if a person is suffering from headache but the doctor gives him medicine for dehydration so will the problem get solve?? No for sure....Dude its your life you have to decide that what is right for you and what's not.Everyone has got a fire in himself/herself its just the need to know that and to work in that direction.Put wings to the passion you have.If you love computers then think that how you gonna take the next step.How will you move in that direction and what is your destination.once your destination is clear in your mind then you will have to choose the best possible path.The definition of success doesn't strat and stops at IIT'S and IIM'S.If you have that fire in you and the never say attitude you will definately achieve success.You have got the best advisor with you and that's is your conscience.When you find your self stuck somewhere just ask yourself and you will get the best possible answer.Stop fearing from faliures.Keep your focus onn and never quit,because quitter never wins and winners never quit. "If i can't run i will walk and if i can't walk i will crawl but i will reach to my destination"

When you were born was it Infy or IIM'S that brought that world's best smile on your parents face?? Guys do think million rather trillion times to say such a disguisting word like Suicide.Ok tell me what will you do if you get a call from IIM?? Life's meaning is not about getting admission in a good institute,earn a package of 22 lakhs,owning a merc,having a 36-24-36 figure girl friend.You are born with a purpose and its not necessary that you will be a jack of all trades,just identify your purpose of life.When you do that then look for the different paths that take you till your destination and ur ultimate passion.You will fail but those faliures will become the ladder to your success.If i start telling you my faliures i can write a Granth on it but i believe in myself and my capabilities and that's what taking me closer to my destination.Each faliure motivates me to work hard.Guys love yourself the most and when you start loving yourself you will not say such dejected things.Life is sooo sooo beautiful and you are wasting it by engaging yourself in those things which are the most irrelevant.You got into Infosys man and you got in just because you were that good.Make sure that in fututre whatever you want to pursue in life should be that in which you believe fully.This world has so lots of problems.....many people even do not get once a mean in a day,many do not have roof on their heads,many children are forced to work because they are poor.Guys everday say thanks to that almighty god that he has given you so much.Best of luck and hope that you will do great in future. "You cannot change your past but you can surely change your future"
hi ...its my first post ..i m in truble an in dipression ...i give my cat 2 nd tym ..apart frm cat i give all entrnce exam ..bt i cudnt do well .......now i hav jst a liTtil hope with cat reslt ...i m very frustrated. in 14 th march i give my last entrnce exam MFC.my confidence is dwn to earth.actuly my prblm is diffrnt,i love a girl an i wan to marry her.whn one day i prposed her she said it is posible only whn if u will take admission in a good colog....i m in tnsn .pls suggst me wat i do ???/pls pls pla help me ......
Brother i will give you one advice......dump that girl out of your life.She doesn't loves you but she is more interested in your status and money.True Love has no boundations and limits so its better that you tell her that you have better things to do in life.I may sound harsh but this is right for you.Regarding the CAT scene i have already wrote so many post that you can go through them and please understand the real meaning of "LIFE".
Hmmm....seems like a lot of ppl want to commit suicide these days, well i have no more advice thn the ppl abv have have been giving but would want to say just one thing " yaar suicide karni hai to kar lo , baar baar pakao mat ... agar dum hai to karke dikhana " If u do not hav wat it takes in life to succeed and if you think that every small failure should lead u to one solution of taking the easy way out i.e suicide , thn u r nt worth living. Go and ask a person who is on deathbed wat the value of life is ...
Don't use such words dear,i know it doesn't sounds nice when someone says that he/she wants to put an end to his/her life.You also want to cheerup people but please such provocative statements are not welcomed too.
for 3 months straight. Used to leave home at 6 in the morning..travel 80kms and 3hrs by bus and then reach home at 1030 PM everyday. Quit my job in september to give CAT, slogged for 16 hrs a day continously and was massacred on the 3rd of Dec afternoon slot.
