Can't agree more. I've never seen an IIM-A grad being so candid about her/his past (failed) attempts. Discussing them openly does make you inferior! Honesty, Humility, and Confidence = @MilanaPrakash

I’ve taken a gap year too this year and this video calmed me down. Thankyou! Felling motivated for the next 4 months. I’m sure I’ll be able to do it it 😊

Hii Milana, I just want to say only one thing that you are doing really great job when you are helping others to get top B-schools by personally advising them through E-mails.
i have 91 in 10th from gujarat state board,but done diploma course after 10th and got 9.23 cgpa/10, in btech i have low acads currently,but will try to get above 8.5 or 8 ,is it ok to get into iim a or b@@MilanaPrakash
Hi Milana, Glad that you spoke about being mathematically challenged. I feel the same & that was the major reason for me to not give a shot for CAT entrance. I'm aiming for Nov 24 exams, will surely mail you. Please do give your insightful advice.
Thanks for this calming word . My biggest worry is lrdi , since i am good in quant I will focus more on DI part . I am going to attempt this year cat exam
As a mass media graduate who is preparing for CAT, the biggest challenge I face is the unfamiliarity of an MBA, it's like I eagerly want to do it but the course curriculum is heavy on quants, especially finance and I fear I might not catch up once I am inside. Tbh, you're the first BMM/Journalism student I came across who went to an IIM. Do you have any tips to overcome this fear, cause it seriously is taking a toll on my prep. Thank you.
Don't worry about the curriculum. There are doctors in our batch who have never studied fin, and they do so well in fin exams! Just focus on the prep for now. Once you get in, you'll find a support system that will help you ace these subjects. Professors are super supportive and they take remedial classes for non-enggs too. You study advertising in BMM, right? So marketing courses will be easy for you :)
@@MilanaPrakash Yes indeed, have been working for 2 years as a Content Producer, and would definitely aim for Marketing roles. Thanks a ton. Subscribed!
Didi i am going to start my college undergraduation from DU in bcom hons and academically my last Aim is to do MBA from IIM so any advice for me please ❤
Hey, start prep when you’re in your final year. Join any coaching institute, doesn’t really matter. Hours of study don’t matter, what matters is your quality of study. Don’t take your strength sections for granted and focus on meeting sectional cut offs for the other sections. You have lots of time, you can do this! Get into the habit of reading dense stuff like non-fiction articles… improve your reading speed! And most importantly, enjoy your UG life! Congrats on the new chapter in your life! ❤️
Will make a video on that soon! But in short, took mocks from TIME, IMS & Cracku. Read from Arun Sharma (not all chapters though - that book is a tome) and did practice questions from TIME's books. Also took some topic wise lessons from Alchemist (online)
I gave mock test today and i got negative score 😢 i cried alot .I feel demotivated i dont no why i dont score well in varc plz tell me and which coaching mock test are better
Hey, please don't lose hope. I took mocks from TIME, Cracku & IMS. And 2 free ones from Career Launcher. All of them are more or less the same. I thought IMS was needlessly tough. I will make a video on VARC soon. But for now, get into the habit of reading boring things. Don't waste your time on story books (unless it's a recreational activity for you), instead, read dull & boring texts on history, science, biology, politics etc. You'll find some good ones on Aeon!
I got 9.7/10 in 10th , 9.8/10 in 12th and I have two year gap after 12th and my category is obc and I'm currently pursuing BA economics and finance ... can I get into blacki / fms if I can score 99+ percentile.. I'm very tensed about it
Really cat scores are good But profile also matters And in your case your profile was very good Non engineer- girl - mass media - 10-12 marks ,work Ex ,and cat score . Good but sometime iim abc don’t even call at 98.5 percentile but yeah again tips Were good enough to score good cat score thank you ❤️
@@MilanaPrakash yah that’s possible . Preferences are giving to non engineer and work ex Profile . Gender preference is also there . Male general engineer doesn’t get Call even at 99 either because of 10-12 marks or grad . And they don’t give preference to engineer . Quant percentile is also the top priority for Engineer Background.

I would be glad if you can reply. Sorry if it took much of your time. Thank you for the inspirational video.
That depends on which university you studied at. I went to Mumbai university and they have this conversion formula that is available online. Just search CGPA to percent calculator. 10th scores they accept as CGPA for CBSE students

IIM B prefers 98+ and more work ex. IIM C doesn't care much for diversity. They look at percentiles at the end of the day. IIM A values diversity a lot.
Hey Milana , I wad wondering if you could share some best mocks which will help during cat like i have 3 months from now and my course is finished tbh so ….. please guide me 🙂
I took mocks from TIME, IMS, Cracku (all of them) and 2-3 from Career Launcher (these were the free ones). All of them were pretty good. IMS imo was needlessly tough.
Hi, I wanted to know which materials or courses did you refer to for DILR, while you were preparing? Also, I'll be really grateful if you can suggest me an alternative for mocks as they pretty expensive. It would mean a lot.
@@HarshalMore There are people from general category (females) who have percentiles like 92/93, but have great work ex and professional degrees like CA etc.
Hey Milana! Thank you for such an insightful video on your profile. I had a question, to what extent does the name brand of the company you've worked in matter in IIM interviews? I am a Psych + Econ grad from DU with 13 months of experience in Brand Marketing in a smaller scale MNC (~5000 employees) and wanted to know if that might impact anything. Most of the profiles I've seen have had work ex in larger, more well-known companies. Would love to hear from you. Thanks!
Your score (that any IIM will use while calculating the work ex- depends solely on your months of work ex. Maybe in the interview it could add some brownie points, but what matters more is how the experience shaped your growth and how you contributed & what you learnt.

Hey Milana! Thank you for such an insightful video on your profile.
I had a question, to what extent does the name brand of the company you've worked in matter in IIM interviews? I am a Psych + Econ grad from DU with 13 months of experience in Brand Marketing in a smaller scale MNC (~5000 employees) and wanted to know if that might impact anything. Most of the profiles I've seen have had work ex in larger, more well-known companies.
Would love to hear from you. Thanks!
Your score (that any IIM will use while calculating the work ex- depends solely on your months of work ex. Maybe in the interview it could add some brownie points, but what matters more is how the experience shaped your growth and how you contributed & what you learnt.
