CA to IIMA : Preparing for the entrance exam - Part 1
In 2021, I made my mind that I wanted to pursue my MBA. The biggest hurdle was the entrance exam - the dreaded GMAT. I started preparing for it while I was working full time at KPMG Sweden. It was a struggle. It was only on my third try that I got the score I wanted. In this video I will take you through the overview of how it was for me. In part 2 I will deep dive and talk more specifically on what tools I used and how I approached the entrance exam.
If you are someone who is preparing for MBA entrance exams, let’s pave your way to IIM or top B-Schools by cracking CAT 2025!

My Story: CA to IIM Ahmedabad MBA
มุมมอง 43Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Here’s a short introduction to my educational journey. From Chartered Accountant (CA) to MBA from IIM Ahmedabad (IIMA). I starred my CA journey right after school. Cleared CPT and managed to get an All India Rank (AIR 42) in CA Inter. Then I joined KPMG Hyderabad for my articleship. I became a CA by the age of 21. Over 6 years with KPMG, I worked in India, Singapore, London and Stockholm. I sta...
IIM Ahmedabad Farewell Video
มุมมอง 9K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
I wanted a memory, a keepsake dedicated to my batch at IIMA. A farewell video is what came to my mind naturally. Shooting and directing this video along with my co-director and friend Debanjana was a full circle (we had also co-directed our farewell video for our seniors - go check it out on the channel). The poem and screenplay was written by my talented batchmate and friend Saumya. And thanks...

      Getting a short list from IIMs is a combination of a lot of things. Stellar academic record is one. So is a great CAT score. Also there are points for diversity and work experience. So give your best in CAT, get some work experience at a good brand. You can get a short list from IIMs (especially the new/ baby IIMs). But you have to be prepared to put in a lot of work. All the best

      You only have to manage maths in foundation and it won't bother you again. If you really wanna do CA you should enroll now, but I'm telling you this isn't easy. one of the toughest exams to crack. If you are an average student go for CMA which needs hard work too but less than CA. Or just do ACCA which will help you to move out of the country and it is easier than CA too. I hope this helps.

      Honestly CA has nothing related to maths. It’s just addition/ subtraction etc and you get to use a calculator. It’s more about accounting and audit concepts along with business law and taxation etc

So my advice will be to pick a field you are interested and try to be the best in that. Then you don’t have to worry a lot about not getting a job

    You are truly an inspiration for all students. I was also preparing for CA, but due to my father's health problems, I couldn't pursue articleship. Currently, I am considering an online MBA. I know it may not be the ideal option, but I don't want to sit idle. I have researched many colleges but feel confused about which one to choose. I have watched numerous videos on TH-cam, but they seem sponsored, so I am not satisfied. Could you please suggest a good college for me? If possible, please reply.

    • @anirudhrapole_iima
      @anirudhrapole_iima 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey. I would ideally suggest a full time MBA. But, if you have decided on doing an online MBA, I’d recommend doing it from the IIMs. IIM Ahmedabad recently launched its online MBA. You can check it out online. It really matters which school you do your MBA from so aim for top 20 in the country.

      @rakhikumari5485 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @anirudhrapole_iima It requires 3 years of work experience or entrepreneurship experience, which I don't have. I think every IIM that offers an online MBA requires at least one year of work experience.
