I thought it would be of great help to the aspirants of IIM's if i post my interview experiences but it looks like its going to be a little while before they wouldd be on my site.I have written them down but i cannot lay my hands on those right now.
Meanwhile, a glimpse of what happened.
My first call and interview was with IIFT.Then i had the biggies(IIMs) lined up with a break varying from 1-6 days in between each of them.About a month later, it was MDI to put an end to the season.SIBM, Pune scheduled in between IIM interviews had to be skipped.
Here is the final result in the order of the interviews held.
IIFT - Rejected
IIM-K - Converted
SIBM - Did not attend
IIM-I - Waitlisted , converted later.
IIM-B - Converted
IIM-L - Converted
IIM-A - Converted
IIM-C - Converted
MDI - Converted
Its not irony but the change from 'trying to get selected into an IIM' to 'selecting an IIM to join' is a very satisfying one.
No more surprises here, i am heading to IIM-A.
First of all my apologies for leaving the blog idle for umm, er, lets say quite a long time. This time, i must thank rimmy for getting me out of slumber.
As my blog header reads, the End is not as important as the means. Some people might disagree since it's the outcome we are usually after. But the end does not add any value.When we reach our destination, it gives us a moment of happiness, but the journey transforms and prepares us for better things.What we have achieved is only a result of our efforts through out the way.
Is taking a final degree worth more than 4 years of engg. life? Is winning a match more important than going out and enjoying ourselves on the field?
One such journey of mine can be seen this way;Quest for an IIM tag.It took 4 years of toil, 3 attempts , 2 setbacks to complete 1 successful pursuit.I must confess that the last 6 months were more crucial.Then what about the rest of the time..wasted??No way..they are the days i would cherish most.I am no longer the same when i look at my image of the past. The journey changed me for the better.Well, to see the transformation, we can have an appointment.
Now, to set out on what i intended to do after recharging my blog again, lets reminisce what i encountered in the hyped, scary IIM interviews in the coming posts.
Atlast ..after so many months waiting for the elusive joining date, TCS remembered they had conducted interviews last year and recruited a few students of A.U. and asked us to report on sep 12 at the hi-tec hyderabad.Well thats fine..no regrets..but then they could hav sent the joining letter 2 my house(never left it for the past 4 months..u see i fell in love with my bed)..they asked us 2 come 2 hyd n collect it on 3rd..then i started running to get my paraphernalia ready..u must have guessed by now how busy i am..i wil b back with my first xperience with TCS..hav 2 check if they r really up to my xpectations ;-)
My first post...Everyone likes a holiday..right..but not if they are four months long..yup my exams were over in April ..and TCS hasn't given the joining date till now(btw i got selected in campus interviews in our college..Andhra university in june 2006)
...what 2 do..a very monotonous life..getting up at 10..doing nothing...a bit of CAT..hope 2 make it this time..but luks like i will be in the middle of training when i take the exam..superb timing..isn't it..thanx 2 TCS.
well i should have had this interview with HPCL on Aug 20..but as luck would have it..it was postponed to Sept 10..am really blessed..amn't I?
well thats it 4 the day...lets hope i continue n dont become lazy(my frens wud disagree)..after all who does't love a nap..catch u all soon..byeee
