Every year, someday in January when the CAT results are out, a large number of aspirants in the RAT race realize something. Life is a bitch. It gives you that twist-of-fate when you least expect it. On the other side, it never ceases to surprise you with serendipitous moments as well.
After a series of rejects, from MIIs and few others, for 5 long years (yes, that’s how many times I have had an outing with CAT), I had stopped expecting my name in any list. But it was a pleasant surprise when NITIE’s result came out and there it was, I had got my only call of the season (Why didn’t I apply to NITIE before? :( ). Few days later, I got a mail from my mentor, congratulating all the call getters, with a list of general FAQs and some gyan(:P) . I have got calls before but this was the first time I had a mentor to clear all my doubts. So if I wanted to convince my parents about “Why NITIE ?”, I had someone to rely upon(;)).
I had my GDPI scheduled on 13th, I got it rescheduled to 12th and was the first person to enter the MDP hostel at 2 am in the morning (What is the full form of MDP?). I had my tryst with Team Murphy (read : NITIE’s mosquito’s team headed by Murphy) that night and cursed Team IMPACT to not mention about that before. We practically had nothing to guard against Team Murphy (I bet they have this party every year, and the whole Team Murphy gets pretty drunk). I even thought that there is a nexus between Team Murphy and Team Impact. Anyways, I pledged to take my revenge over the next two years.
The next day, I woke up to a marvelous view from MDP’s balcony which helped alleviate the pain from last night’s assault by Team Murphy. We rambled around the pond and the serene and lush green campus. Suddenly had this French feeling called Déjà vu. I felt I have come back to my alma mater (read : IIT Guwahati) after a long period of 3.5 years (Yes, my rivalry with Team Murphy had started there, but I didn’t know they are present in campuses all over India!). We also went to the top of the guest house and clicked some panoramic views of the lush green campus(Déjà vu again!!) and some with the Mumbai skyscrapers and the Vihar Lake. We played TT in the evening (and I found that as there’s no railing on the staircase, its dangerous for someone who’s drunk to enter into the TT room ;)). (Part of Safety guidelines :P)
Based on the feedback from my friend at NITIE, I was pretty confident about cracking the GDPI. I was more worried about waiting for the entire day for my PI. After being such a critic, this was the time to applaud Team Impact for wonderfully conducting the entire GDPI process. From guiding our way to the Syndicates to getting all the reschedules in PIs, you made each and every process go smooth and hassle free. All those who were wondering “Why MBA” got the answers(at least for the PI) in your presentations. The quiz was awesome and the general gyan helped in cooling down the nerves. From replying to our silly queries to helping us choose between colleges, we got all our doubts cleared, instantly. Finally, my GD went good and PI was excellent. This was an interview where I did not feel myself to be at the “Bottom of the pyramid” (you’ll know this term during mba, for now just read this: http://www.pagalguy.com/2012/
.
Thank you Team Impact for the wonderful journey so far. I wonder how would admissions department deal with the process without u. Special thanks to Varun(of course), Amit, Dainishi, Arun, Jatin, Harsh, and other seniors for instantly replying to our petty queries. Looking forward to meet you all at GROOVE.
Team Murphy : BEWARE!!! (BTW, What are the other creatures we’re gonna see live and free of cost at NITIE, apart from leopards ?)
P.S. : No character mentioned in the above write up is fictional. The author has had first hand experience with all of them ;)
P.P.S : Really missed the PG smileys while writing this.
