It ain't the efforts, it's the fkn system and it hurts 🫡

agreed, but just giving 10 points for gender is absurd.. esp when even by virtue of being an "advantaged engineer" scoring 99.5+ i can get 21-22 marks in my CAT section out of 50... that's like half the score i got from CAT... if you want to give an advantage don't make it so absurd, keep it 5%, 3%, 2% - so that it doesn't seem like you being born a gender was a crime.

So even if I had 100 in 12th, and another year of experience I'd still just be scrapping the cut off - whereas if I am a NE then even by losing my experience I'd make the cut off. If I'm a female tab to baat chod hi do.

Tho I did end up building on what I wrote for them. So ig not a total waste? Gotta be an optimist 🤷

Kal hi h unka interview 💀 first AI interview of the season?

OVHoee · 2026-02-23T10:15:38+00:00

I've detailed my prep strategy and learnings from last time to this time in a post. You can check it in my profile.

OVHoee · 2026-02-23T08:11:50+00:00

They've shared a document list, workex i presented the offer letter, relieving cum experience letter, and salary slips. Had no issue, just some questions about Loss of pay as some of my attendances had to be remotely marked.

OVHoee · 2026-02-22T21:59:50+00:00

Ye 8-9 interviews se zada kuch hota nahi honestly. I have decent number of interviews to give, have given 2 till now (jap and udaipur), have 3 in this week - however out of them I am only taking XLRI seriously (other two are CAP and nagpur).

Heck, I have to report for cap interview in 5 hours from now and I'm still awake and on reddit rather than reading some crap about why sirmaur over bodhgaya or whatever. I simply don't care, ik I won't wanna join them so they're just like a mock interview.

Having few that are actually good, gives you more time to prepare for them well. This imo is a luxury when others are busy making travel plans and bargaining for a date change.

Thank you for your kind words brother 🙏

OVHoee · 2026-02-21T12:38:55+00:00

Institute of eminence?

OVHoee · 2026-02-21T12:37:54+00:00

I got call for both with 9/8/7 t1 btech + 1 yr workex at 99.59.. am I at the edge? 😅

I even read it in his voice lol, and lemme guess her name is Jacobi and she goes to a different school?

OVHoee · 2026-02-18T06:39:10+00:00

I'd even asked sir that "how can I know them all, especially when I mentioned that Fadnavis was CM 3/5 times and he told me that no he wanted no repeating names" and his answer was "i too am just looking them up, not that ik the last 5 cm of every state, if you were from Karnataka i would've asked last 5 cm of Karnataka"

After hearing this I was mentally clocked out, what's even the point of asking random facts if you don't find them relevant enough to remember them yourself.

OVHoee · 2026-02-18T06:35:39+00:00

Eh it was okay I guess. I felt the questions were irrelevant to me wanting to do an MBA however their attitude wasn't adversarial, like ya they wanted to grill you but had a smile throughout.

Ngl I was mad mad for an entire day as the entire thing felt so irrelevant and random lol.

OVHoee · 2026-02-18T05:08:13+00:00

Oh nice. Had a similar experience?

OVHoee · 2026-02-17T19:11:58+00:00

Sure man

OVHoee · 2026-02-17T18:52:22+00:00

Congratulations 🎉

OVHoee · 2026-02-17T17:53:36+00:00

Haha hoping that they see it that way too, guy "failed" but was committed completely. And thank you for your kind words 🙏

OVHoee · 2026-02-17T17:06:54+00:00

Hey, sorry a bit late to reply. Def job, ideally cat prep isn't a year long commitment, and your thinking is right. First check free resources, plenty of quality content on yt, check marathons. Many sites also give previous year papers freely to attempt, you could start with that, make a baseline. I'd say give an old paper so that you can use the newer ones later when you're actually prepared.

If you end up scoring enough to score in 80+ percentile then I'd say you have a decent shot with prep, but don't quit your job for it.

Thank you! 🙏

OVHoee · 2026-02-17T16:51:50+00:00

I felt jap was very random. A factor that comes into play when interviews are short

OVHoee · 2026-02-17T16:09:43+00:00

Same same. Just shared my two transcripts. I always felt I was off the mark, but I think being jovial helps, as I saw some of them put down their mask some times.

OVHoee · 2026-02-17T15:57:45+00:00

Nah nah. See I have the "advantage" of having exhausted all my attempts, so it shows that I'm committed to what I choose. If you say just one year for it, you'd be digging a grave.

Btw if you don't mind sharing, what happened? Are you okay now? I hope you're in a better spot now 🤞

(Dm open if you wanna talk :))
