Preface

Here is what usually happens before one gets into IIMC.

One is very confused as to to what to do with life. One is good at generally putting bullshit and making it sound real.
One looks up possible professions and finds out that they actually pay you obscene amounts to actually do that.
One then realizes that you need to hone these skills and the best option one has, is to go to one of the IIMs.
One realizes that getting into one of these places is not that easy after all, and one has to write this exam called the Common Aptitude Test
About 250,000 people take this exam each year. Yours truly says, “hey, if so many people are doing this, then maybe I should too”.
By freak chance yours truly takes the exam, secures 99.65 percentile(which means, to yours truly’s extreme incredulity that 99.65 percent of the people who took the exam are actually dumber that yours truly.) and receives IIM calls.
However like every good Hindi movie, this one comes with its cruel twists of fate. Yours truly gets a question from one of his favourite series of books wrong commencing a chain of events which culminates in yours truly missing the IIM Ahmedabad english cutoff by 1 mark.
Yours truly then takes GDs, interviews for IIM Calcutta, IIM Kozhikode and IIM Indore.
Yours truly finds out on May 1st that IIM Calcutta has indeed accepted to bear the burden of educating him for a couple of years.
Yours truly heaves a sigh of relief – accepts his fate, and decides to go. He shall teach the folks in Joka never to make such a mistake again.
