[@adityajain4711]

One of the professors at IIM A happen to live in the same building as me. I spoke to him about this issue, and he told me if you've an engineering background, the recruiters don't care about it if you've justified it, because they know how the higher secondary science stream functions. Doing +2 then a gap year isn't a big impediment.

[@Shweta-Arora]

That's right, glad you shared it with the community here, it might help a lot of viewers, so I'm gonna pin it. And it also holds true for other educational streams. Interviewers are also people, they only want to understand you better.

[@kanchanmahato6860]

If someone has 3+ years gaps then is it create any problem in interview?

[@nic-o1341]

What if you are a BBA student.

[@zohebansari994]

Same here

[@sanchita5673]

And what if a student has 2 year gaps with arts background.

[@ArghadeepMukherjee]

watching your videos fills me with a sort of confidence i've not had before. thanks for the inspiration. time to get off youtube and start my prep

[@doordie1062]

If I have have gap years.. It doesn't mean that i was not living.. It's Life my friend.. Don't be so much inside of anything Get a wide and overall view of your life and then think that getting a pause in education will definitely not affect my living.. Afterall we are doing all this stuff firstly for getting a really good start of independent life which do not need to be looked of space between education timeline !!❤ Isn't it ??

[@mohitpoddar4444]

[@tushar_x_m]

Yeah when talking about gaps everyone only talks about gap 'year' not gap 'years'. I started studying after a gap to get better career opportunities but no one accepts my application because of the gap. Even college placements doesn't allow me to apply for jobs. And for MBA interviews there's a much higher chance to get rejected for a candidate with gap years. Something I can never change.

[@NirmalKumar-pi4xv]

Excellent explanation...even the question is silly ,but most of them have this kind of doubt whether the gap year impact on their selection process..as on your video gap is doesn't matters only think is we have genuine reason behind the gap years.. Be honest even some may prepare for govt exams like (UPSC, Ssc )but couldn't able to clear so they decided to do mba..also..

[@harshverma9565]

Thanks a lot. I was trying to find answer regarding gaps years and i found them. There are few people who write so much negative about gaps years. For instance there was a guy who was saying if you have 2-3 gap years forget about getting into IIMs moreover even if you get admitted by any chance then you won't get any jobs after MBA even from TOP iims. That guy also said everything is all about top 7 B schools in India rest are worthless. I wanna answer that guy after getting into IIMs and getting a good job with gaps years. No one intentionally wants to destroy his or her profile by taking gaps. Life is not same for everyone.
