Devastating!! Luck vs. Efforts | CAT Story
About A year ago, I left my 'prestigious and promising' career at a top organization to prepare for CAT 2024. It was in dec 2023. Took a year, prepared hard and gave it everything! From 42%ile in CAT 2023 to 95%-97℅iles in mocks had me filled with optimism and hope for the future. Little did I know that fate had something else in store for me!
Just 2 days before D-day I was sick and diagnosed with dengue. My platelets were low and had 103-104°F fever. I wrote my CAT chewing paracetamol tablets (took 4-5 a day).
Just like in Tenet: What's happened, happened. I think it wasn't in my destiny or something. After my response sheet I see my marks in 30s i.e 70%ile range.
After all this now! I think I should focus on getting a job and restart my career as a marketer anywhere. I am hardworking that I know for sure and I will make my life worthwhile anywhere!!
A year ago I posted something here and you all helped me a lot regarding my preparation and pepped me up!
I would beg you to let me know if there is any opportunity out there that would help me restart my career and give me a decent pay so that I could Reinitiate everything!!
Below is a screenshot that will give you a gist of my profile... Please do let me know of anything! Please.
Any founder out there! Do let me know if there are any opportunities!!

Thank you. I'll share anything relevant I see.
There is xat, you can get into good colleges with that score. There is cmat (given that if you can score above 99.98%le), to get into jbims. You can try these also. All the best👍
Thank You! I am preparing well for XAT and OMETs. Just hope my luck holds out!
Bro if u prepared well, then give NMAT XAT SNAP( if u filled) just one exam u losing hope? 90+ in mocks u still hold skills to crack exam. First dedicate your time to get exams cleared, u invested one year and losing fight with just one exam. NMAT, XAT CMAT SNAP MAHCET . Give all, it just require one lucky day and u land a premium B school, assuming your preparation is good as per mocks
My preparation is good and I am just truly depressed! I am preparing for NMAT, SNAP, XAT but I thought it would be better to join the job market as I would then be able to make a conscious decision whether I should join a B-School Or prepare for next year's CAT! NMAT and SNAP only have one Good College (less chances of selection).
XAT however opens doors but it is a highly unpredictable exam. That's why freaking out.

Sure thing!! I will send anything relevant. Thank you so much for this.!!
Bro, you can still take the XAT exam. It will be in the first week of Jan 2025 and land into a pretty decent college.
I’m in a similar boat. Quit work this year to prepare. I’d say use the knowledge and do well in GMAT, NMAT, SNAP, etc. Keep fighting bro
Keeping up the fight! But it is hard knowing Lady Luck is in someone else's bed!
