Guys, I need your opinions and suggestions.
I am a general engineering male fresher.
I have got an on-campus placement of 11 lpa in operations domain.
I gave cat this year(quite casually) and got just below 96 pecentile. Secured 98 percentile in IIFT and bombed XAT.
My profile is as follows:
10th : 10 cgpa
12th: 94.6
Graduation(Tier 1 engineering college): 9.3 C.G.P.A
Obviously, I didn't get any old iims call. But i secured an IIFT call
with just below 98 percentile. Today, I converted IIFT Kolkata in the first list.
Apart from that I have converted IIM Ranchi, IMTG and some new IIMs this year.
I tried to hold my horses till the time I receive the waitlist number for Delhi but since it may take some time, I decided to post it anyway.
This query is regarding what should I do if I convert IIFT Delhi (I will not be joining IIFTK).Should I join it or go for a retake??
From self-introspection I believe the reasons for my confusion are:
For joining IIFTD:
1. After seeing that GEM's with high percentiles(99.3+) are not getting a call.
2. CAT being a one day affair and whatif we are not in the best form on D-day.
3. Leverage a one year headstart in corporate.
For not joining IIFTD:
1. The job which I have is quite alluring.
2. As a fresher I am not certain about my specialisation.
3. If I get a good percentile may be my acads favour me.
These two sides are constantly running in my mind. I am not going to post any poll on this and I also believe that at the end of the day its my decision
but I would really appreciate the suggestions from people who have already been there and done that.
Thanks!
