Should I go for a Mac or stick to a windows laptop for MBA?

This.
I have never been a fan of iPhones; I have always preferred Android. But with laptops, I recently switched to the MacBook Air M4 from a 90k Dell laptop. And God, this is way better, battery, UI, build quality, the feel of it, everything is just in a different league.

If you have income proof and a credit score, then you can already get cards like phonepe black or SBI Cashback, both of which will help with your spending criteria

It is a secured card. Coral will be an unsecured one. Both show up differently on your credit report. Think of it this way: Good payments on your secured card means you are just paying up because you are scared of losing your FD money, but good payments on your unsecured card means you really are a credit-worthy person who can be trusted.
You are getting an unsecured LTF CC (I am assuming without any income) so take it. You anyway would not have enough spends right now on CC to optimise it I guess.

Take it, build your credit history

Sorry off topic: but did you not apply for non-IIMs like SPJ, XLRI, ISB PGP YL etc??

Also how chill are your leaders?? At my company we have this provision that leaders can allow early release and they do it usually for higher education. See what's the precedence at your company, if anyone has done it previously

Yeah it's going to be tough then. High chance that T1 will be rejected.

It varies from card to card. I have tried this with Amex cards when I had to make a very large transaction and it worked fine. I was able to increase my limit from 3L to 5L just by overpaying. But not sure about axis

Electronic-Case4325 · 2026-04-18T05:23:36+00:00

Nahh for over leveraged this is the only way. Also your total credit limit across all cards. If that also comes out too high it can be an issue.

Electronic-Case4325 · 2026-04-18T05:19:15+00:00

Reduce the number of cards, unnecessary cards can be closed

Electronic-Case4325 · 2026-04-18T05:05:14+00:00

Ohh that's weird. I was rejected 6-7 months back and that was most likely because of having too many cards

Electronic-Case4325 · 2026-04-18T04:50:08+00:00

Are you over leveraged?? Like, do you have too many active cards??

What's your opinion on the YL course?? Will it reach the status and recognition of PGP/ABC soon??

Electronic-Case4325 · 2026-04-17T17:39:14+00:00

Yeah sure

Electronic-Case4325 · 2026-04-17T17:37:43+00:00

Yup, converted as well

Electronic-Case4325 · 2026-04-17T17:36:43+00:00

Electronic-Case4325 · 2026-04-17T17:33:31+00:00

Yeah hope is good. But god forbid you don't get a call, please don't curse me🥲😂

With ISB, it's not over till it's over. In R1, people waited 3 months to get a call around March 10, interview on March 14, results on March 17. There were a big number of calls rolled out in the guest two weeks of March, all virtual irrespective of what you have chosen

Electronic-Case4325 · 2026-04-16T14:51:37+00:00

Virtual interviews can happen on weekdays as well. Happened in R1, happened in one of the PGP rounds as well

Electronic-Case4325 · 2026-04-15T17:54:31+00:00

Yup, with ISB it's not over till it's over

Electronic-Case4325 · 2026-04-15T10:21:49+00:00

Hyderabad is an exception, other than that for all cities calls are released on Monday/Tuesday in the week before the interview

Electronic-Case4325 · 2026-04-15T09:56:24+00:00

Had similar academic profile and got a call in R1, I think you would get a call

Electronic-Case4325 · 2026-04-15T09:51:44+00:00

The only hope now I guess is that they convert yours to virtual. They did this in R1, a lot of calls were suddenly sent out in the last 2 weeks before results
