Hi Buddy
So you have such wonderful caring parents , really nice to hear that but what will happen to them , when you decide to leave this world , who will take care of them , do you want them to be sad for the rest of their lives ?
Dont believe in something before even trying for it , even if you get 80+ percentile in CAT ,you can make it to the top 50 b-schools in the country from 4000 b-schools In India .. isnt that some achievement and with a 70 odd percentile you can make it top 60-70th college .. But just when you feel you can get 70 ,just try harder for an 80 percentile ..
We are all born with problems physical , financial , mental you are not the only guy with such issues but life is also beautiful and full of reasons to smile
I also had an engineering loan , i worked hard in a company for 2.5 years to pay off my loan and then took another 1 to do my MBA .. I gave CAT once , never had the luxury of giving it many times like others .. .. But understand one thing if you are willing to fight everyday , you will one day win the war :)
Regarding breaking commitments , i think if you apologize . i am sure your friends will forgive you .. A simple request for forgiveness is sometimes all is what is needed ..
Well if you dont want to live for yourself , please live for your parents 😃 and make them proud .. you are just 23 you have plenty of time to wash away the so called sins and all you need is to try , accept failures , keep trying till success embraces you 😃

Dear Winger,
Its great that you are writing in and using this amazing community of users to vent out your true feelings and emotions. What you are feeling now is extremely common sentiment amongst several Indian youth today right as young as 16 or 18 and upto early 30s.. the reason for that is something that is beyond your control... our growing numbers and increasing competitiveness.
Indian society has got its priorities wrong and we put undue peer and parental pressure on our youth and children. Today it may seem that you dont have a girfriend, or that you cant clear the CAT to get into a top Bschool as a problem, in the long run when you are 40 and have 2 kids it will not matter that you did your MBA at 25 or got engaged at 28 (without ever having a girlfriend)
What is important is that you live life and spread cheer around you. Whenever someone meets you he/ she should feel a positive vibe and you should take in positivity from others. Exercise, meet new people, take up a hobby, join some clubs/ groups at work, volunteer on weekends.
Once you interact with more people you will also meet others who share interests and you 'click' with or 'gel' well with. For all you know you may find your first girlfriend amongst these activities.
As for your preofessional career do not worry about CAT prep, use PG as a forum and all help will pour to you. Check which of the people here can spare there CAT prep material from last year. Check when people in your city are meeting and discuss problems on exam subjects with seniors on the forum. Take time out and make an effort, it should not be that you resign yourself to mediocrity and let life take you on a ride.
Most importantly enjoy whatever you do whether it is work or studies or even mundane activities like watching movies or listening to music. I am sure you will turn yourself around and opportunity will knock on your doorstep
Dear friends,
I am experiencing the worst time of my life right now. I am a hotel management graduate of 2008 batch (top college). I have work experience of 5 months in a PSU. In 2010, I got admitted to a tier-2 b-school in Delhi (the college is extremely popular among the undergraduates, but is found wanting at several levels with regards to its management course.) I have finished writing my final semester exams just 3 weeks ago and ever since then I have been sitting idle at home, as I do not have any job. I have posted my profile on job portals online, but most offers that I get are from BPOs. I just do not know how to get a job now. I am really depressed. I have filled the IBPS form and am sure of scoring well in it. But the whole process is going to take almost a year before I could join a bank. I cannot afford to sit idle in the meantime. Should I join a BPO till I get a proper job? Will it reflect badly on my profile? What should I do, please advise?
Hey, I'm working in an IT company ,but i'm totally frustrated n m thinking of quitting,my promotion is due in august,but I'm thinking of putting down my papers in july,we have a 1 month notice period,what reasons should I give while giving my resignation letter??
After promotion it turns to be a 3 months notice period
I may or may not be promoted,but I'm completely not satisfied working here in IT and that too away from my home town,I want to go to for govt. sector job,not completely sure abt MBA....
I'm totally pissed off don't know what to do with life....
Please suggest will it be good resigning and looking for jobs in delhi,staying with family..or keep continuing here....
Hey,
Are u working in infy by any chance? Because Infy had the same policy as far as I can remember. And ya if u have made ur decision... u shud quit ASAP
NishiDag SaysDear friends, Should I join a BPO till I get a proper job? Will it reflect badly on my profile? What should I do, please advise?
Buddy
I can suggest a few things
1)Good that you decided to you have decided give IBPS and try for a govt job
2) You can do a couple of things try for the walkins and off campuses that are happening in an around Delhi NCR
3) Buddy you can also reach out to your alumni and ask for their help .. Try get in touch with them via Linked In ..
4)BPO job should be the last option buddy..
PS: Requesting others to suggest something if they have anything on mind 😃

Hi Guys!!!
Well, the thread is primarily meant for those sitting idle, but just wanted to bring in my 2 cents of opinion into the fray as well.... Before i come to the main point, just a brief introduction to myself-
hey yudi..i just read your story & honestly at first i did think it was make-believe..but since i havent achieved much in life..infact much less than what you have..i would rather not give some hocus-pocus advice..what i agree to is your realisation of where you went wrong..6 months back i had the same realisation..with my engg & all..& this might sound like someone talking after a weed party..but if i were you i would do what i want to..thats what i am doing..because somewhere down the line i have realised..this is the only life being born as a human..& i wont waste it running after money..i know what i am good at..& someday hope to make a name in that field..wishing you good luck..cheers mate..
Hi Puys,
I have been in this lugubrious state for a month or so. Being a commerce grad, I had given CAT last year while working, managed to get a 65%le preparing at home for two months.
I worked in a BPO for about 1 year and finally decided to quit job and prioritize CAT, took up coaching classes at TIME from the first week of May, finding it terribly difficult to solve Quant and DI at home.
I am sitting idle at home, trying a couple of problems after going through the concepts, failing to solve them makes me loose interest and give up.
My background:
Xth:80%
X12:86%(Science)
B.com Computers: 70%
Work ex of 1 year in a reputed MNC but still a B.P.O :(
Do you all think I would be able to make up to any of the IIM's considering my profile and my below average performance in QA and DI ??
- First things first Dont worry about your profile at all , Its very good ..
Now lets come to your Quant and DI issue but this can only be solved by practicing and learning from mistakes , there are no shortcuts to success , you need to work hard
You can start with Arun Sharma where the questions are of 3 levels , CAT level is mostly upto level 2 ..
There are loads of threads on PG . Under the Quant Section , Solve questions on this forum , ask your problems , I am sure if you reach you will recieve a lot of help

I have done that dude,have travelled in general class....

I've donated blood,given food to people,due to my only my wrong decisions my life has ****ed up...else I wud have been the happiest human on this earth

Hey ,
There are couple of ways to enter in the industry .
there are couple of dept in the advertising , decide your intrest .
then there are two ways, according to my view ,
1) go straight to the industry and start working
2) take up a course
in first way .. find your intrest .. is it art direction , account planning , copy writing ... it can be anything .. go to the production house or ad house .. make a portfolio according to the intrest . talk to the industry people about how to get in . talk to the people having same intrest as yours . read ogilvy .
in second way .. other than MICA there are also many other colleges . MICA is like MECCA , I know but you can find god somewhere else too. try SIMC , XIC , IIMC . try out there . talk to the students studying there .
The best way is talk to the people who are working in industry . Mail them , meet them .. make a portfolio show them ask them .. then decide ... what to do..
Best of Luck
Hi Puys,
Before starting..I would like to say that this thread is special! very special!
My situation : I graduated in economics (one of the top colleges) from DU in 2008 & have been working since then. Enjoyed my work..won awards...got promoted & currently i am an assistant manager. The journey had been okayish if not great!
MBA was always there in my mind..But never gave CAT! Tried studying along with job..It dint work out well..to be very honest..
My dad has retired & mom is about to in next 1.5-2 yrs. They also want me to get over with the so called MBA chapter of my life.
At 25, with 4 yrs work ex..I decided to quit job ( in fact serving notice period) to prepare for CAT, GMAT, XAT etc etc. Have got mixed responses from my friends. But i think i have taken a calculated risk.
But a fear of WHAT IF is there in my mind! :(
What if, i dont get into a decent b school? Then in that case i would have to go back to the job market..and do a working professional MBA (which i wont mind given the circumstances)..god only knows what kind of job / remuneration i shall get then..would a gap have an adverse impact on my decently mediocre profile ..blah blah..
I back myself..but sometimes i do get scared...and end up thinking of so-many scenarios..that I get worked up!
Need suggestions on my decision..and may be even a pep talk! :)
Thanks!
This thread has some really enlightening posts, thanks for sharing your experience guys, it's good to know that even though we get lost from time to time, we're not alone

I've also been working for a little while and have been thinking about getting an MBA. I guess it boils down to what your objectives of getting the MBA are, in your case, it would appear to be for better salary, fast track promotion, and climbing up the corporate ladder, in which case, getting an MBA would be a good long term investment - its definitely not something that would pay for itself within a year.
I'm a Singaporean, and in my country, paper qualifications are regarded very highly in the public and government sector, most of the high ranking officers in the military have to get good post grad degrees to earn higher ranks, it goes for civil servants as well. In short, it would help your decision if you know where you want to head towards after getting an MBA.
Just my 2 cents, hope you find it helpful 😃
