Mains 2022 - All Papers PDF + R**** Rona + Paper Discussion

Hi Friends!!

I just dropped by to say all the best to all of you. I re-activated my account today after many years. I was a serious player from 2013-2017, I had scored pretty well in Essay(160) and Sociology(235), thereafter I wrote CAT and got into a B school (yes, despite 4 years of gap on my profile). My life changed completely thereafter. I did well in academics and met the love of my life in college. Today I am working in the sector of financial inclusion and getting paid quite decently. My heart goes out when I see old players getting into depression or facing difficult financial situation. I may not have cleared the exam but I am still working for the upliftment of rural population. If you need any support/guidance about Plan B or how to get into B Schools or how to get to work for rural population, feel free to contact me at ankit8418@gmail.com


All the best guys for your future endeavours!!

@Hustlerhust Take it step by step. Focus on scoring good percentile in CAT (92perc.+). Then apply for institutes, you will get calls if you score well. They have objective criteria to shortlist for interviews which includes 10th, 12th, graduation score and CAT percentile, there is no age preference here. And for MBA mostly age is below 30 years. After you get call, you will have to appear for GD or esaay writing- which again does not depend on your age. Then last rpund is interview. I think first complete your journey till here, then leave it to your luck, you just go for interview and explain them your situation. 
I could explain my 4 yrs of gap and at the same time I also told them how I can bring diversity in classroom as I have read different subjects in UPSC. I applied for 6 B schools and appeared for 4 interviews and converted 2 of them.

Hope this helps.
