Sir, you always come up with the best stuff,stuff that I need, and that too with brilliant reasoning and eloquence. I had to drop my 3rd year in college because of a TB Meningitis infection, which caused me a whole panorama of problems, from memory loss to hallucinations, so thank you for your jewels of wisdom.

To "MANAGE" the Country , i mean PM candidate ,we (The Entire Nation) are ready to elect people with horrible Academic n intellectual records , elect them just on the basis of manifesto n bumptious airs but to "MANAGE" a company , "academics" , "careers" , N ol of that one has to justify n go through an elaborate process..I have always wondered why !! I would like to know Rajesh Sir's take on it , had this been an interview random question (on similar lines)..

Sir how to justify poor marks in one section?

[@suvranildas5128]

i cant blame the system/teacher okay , what about the year 2021 where the exams got cancelled? and trust me many students including me suffered from the uneven and unjustified distribution of marks ! I mean students who used to fail in class got 95% marks in their boards ! The selection criteria should not be the same especially for that particular batch ie 2020-21

[@2iimcat]

Hey Suvranil, we're lucky CAT is the same for everyone. The only thing that's actually in our control is putting in all the efforts for CAT and giving it our best. Let's worry about that first! Best Wishes!

[@srikantht.s.k8372]

My question is almost on the same lines.. I had worked for a year in a big four.. I met with an accident..and I was bedridden for almost 3 months.. so I had to resign my job.. in the mean while I prepared for the competitive exams .. and I cleared one of those. So I exactly had 13 months of good work experienced.. So if they ask me why I stopped with 13 Months and why is there a gap of may be 6-8 Months..what should be my answer? And can I tell the same reason or how should I be prepared for this?

[@2iimcat]

Give honest answer. If you have a discharge summary or anything that can support you, please carry them just in case. Best Wishes.

Does a 7.4 classify as decent provided 10/12 are very high My case

[@souravnayak8706]

It actually depends on which college you are from. If you're from the top rung then the panel would in all certainty be aware of the relative hardship of scoring a high gpa in such a college. But, if that's not the case then you will have to come up with a justification given your high 10+2 performance.
