Sahil Aggarwal , CAT 99.76 %ler<\/strong><\/p>\n

IIM Ahmedabad Converted,<\/strong> IIM Bangalore Converted IIM Calcutta Converted<\/strong><\/p>\n

A brief Intro about me, I did my matriculation from St. Kabir Public School, Chandigarh (ICSE) with 95.5%. After securing 92% (CBSE) in 12th I joined Thapar University, Patiala for my Under Graduation in Computer Sciences and completed it with a CGPA of 9.9. It was in the second year of my engineering that I decided to take up MBA for my post graduation and like any other individual walking this path I also had IIM ABC<\/a> as my dream colleges but was not sure if I would ever be able to make it. To begin my preparations for CAT I joined the TIME weekend batch in Chandigarh in the third year. I attended the classes for about two months, the techniques and shortcuts taught were pretty helpful but I felt the flow of information to be a little slow and eventually lost interest and stopped attending the classes. Even after leaving the classes I was very particular with the AIMCAT\u2019s and very rarely did I miss them and found them to be extremely helpful.<\/p>\n

Around 2 weeks prior to the CAT examination one of my friends told me about the iQuanta<\/a> courses for which he had enrolled and how it had helped him. After going through a couple of lectures with him I was fascinated by the content in brief and useful form, exactly how I would have liked it, but due to the lack of time could not make better use of it. Eventually, I scored 99.04 percentile In CAT\u00a0 scoring the least in Quant and 99.5 percentile in XAT. I got calls from IIM Bangalore and IIM Lucknow. I had my job in Delhi and hence for the GDPI preparations I joined Malay Ray Classes in South Delhi and the amount of knowledge imparted there was tremendous. It played a great part in broadening my spectrum of knowledge and the time spent in those classes made me determined to get into a good B-school. My interview skills had haunted me ever since the time of my placements and it played its part again and I couldn\u2019t convert any of the three interviews. Being waitlisted by IIM Bangalore at 71 (waitlist movement 68) and missing it by a close margin gave me the belief that I can make it through with a little more effort.
\nWith some experience under my belt I began with the second attempt of my preparation for CAT .<\/p>\n
