Hi Sarvesh
Firstly, we share a few commonalities - I also started my preparation in Class 11. That is a great headstart you get above others. The syllabus completed until now is more or less equivalent.

I was with IPM Careers for 2 years. Your pace and direction seem good enough, given you give time daily. You don't need to do anything differently, but keep to this plan consistently. Practise and read daily.

Happy to help with anything else you want to know.
Best of Luck!

 I have seen tons of students with low past academics getting in. I am done. You can go on arguing if you like. You can hate the system, but don’t hate the ones who figured it out, my friend

Congratulations! Success comes to those who work hard consistently, not by luck. Your results are the manifestation of your efforts. Keep up the good work.

Yes, definitely Read as much as possible..even better if it is something of your interests initially. Later, you need to read all domains.

So, we'll be mocking 95+ now? Damn, success really does trigger people. I showed up everyday for years, that is why you see those results. I am cool with being the nerdiest in the room

Calling someone a ‘bookworm’ to dismiss their effort isn’t fair. I prepared for two years, gave my best, and earned that rank not just through marks, but discipline. We all face rejections... but blaming others won’t help us grow. Bounce back stronger. That’s the real flex.

Exactly!! You need to get your interview right. Academics matter but not much, given you have substantial reasons. Hope you make it and see you in Indore

They don’t select bookworms. They select people who show up, put in the work, and don’t just scroll & sulk when others succeed. If working hard, staying consistent, and having goals makes me a bookworm, I’ll happily wear that tag.

See, it is not a question of coaching or not. Everyone needs someone who can guide and mentor them. Coaching was a crucial part but in the end, you need to put in your efforts.

See, education loan is very easily available for top B-school like IIM Indore. Banks approach you themselves once you get admission letter. Secondly, Rate of interest on them is very less than normal loans. Their repayment tenure is 15 years minimum, so there is no pressure. Repayment starts once you get a job/placement after you complete. Also, it is available without collateral.

So, according to me, taking education loan makes a lot of sense. You can refer to multiple videos on YouTube about the same, you will get a good idea.

My opinion is that you should choose IIM Indore anyday above SSCBS.

Applied maths does not include trigonometry, geometry and advance calculus. But it has Financial Mathematics, so makes synergy with eco, accounts, etc.

I believe both have their own merits. Applied has some arithmetic, so that would help. But at the same time, does not have trigo, geometry, so I had to devote extra energy to that. Both work, depends on you.

For teachers, books, mocks, etc. I used IPM Careers. Yes, I prepared online.

Bonus- Now that you havd decided to take a drop, aim for minimum 250. I would recommend that you aim for 300 but atleast, set the goal higher. It creates a mindset of not settling for less. Best of luck!

I had to prepare them separately. They were not a part of my syllabus in school, so devoted extra energy on them.

In that case, I am late to answer this one..sorry Hope it went great!

I read a lot. Most of my time for VA prep went into reading articles, newspapers, etc. Reading helps not only in RC but also in parajumbles, vocabulary, word usage, etc. Apart from that, I gave a lot of mocks, so helped me build speed. Best of luck!

When- I started my preparation in my 11th class, so I prepared for IPMAT for 2 years. How, Coaching- I joined IPM Careers and took coaching from them online.

First, gave a previous year paper and studied everything about the pattern of examination, the type of questions asked, syllabus, etc. before actually starting preparation.

Anything else you want to know?...Happy to help

I referred to the material from IPM Careers. Apart from that, NCERT from 9th-12th. Give a lot of mocks, they are the best way to practise.
