More GAP videos we need them

[@foodexpert8512]

Never get influenced by such interviews, look at him he is an iitian and not only that he is intelligent too, his family also has a stable income source, how can people relate with such guys , that is pretty much rare, if u ask me then i would love watch interview of someone who was an average student pretty average marks in all 10th, 12th, grad and also has 3-5yrs of gap in profile with no valid reason to justify his gap year then he is coming on such shows and telling he has cracked top IIMS.. Everyone's journey is different just believe in your self and stop making exams like cat the only goal of your life there are great thing that are waiting for u . ALL THE BEST

[@prashanttripathi6135]

[@therevealer672]

Sarcasm?😂

[@Kumarr241]

Does 6 years of gap after graduation matters at the time of admission? I have gap because of UPSC preparation. Please reply I am really feeling under confident because of gap years. Should I continue to prepare for CAT , XAT exam? I really want to give my best at CAT , XAT 2024 exam. Please help!
