Entrance Preview
I wanted to do an MBA to gain holistic knowledge about the business environment and, hence, I appeared for CAT. I prepared for around 4-5 months and devoted around 2 hours daily for the same. I took coaching from TIME, NOIDA, and the faculty there helped me a lot in cracking the exam. I had final admission offers from 13 B-schools including all the IIMs, MDI, FMS, IIFT, etc. I chose IIMA because of the world-class faculty, pedagogy, and alumni network. The 2 years I spent there have been the best years of my life.
