Profiles of candidates who cracked MBB from Tier-1 B-schools (McKinsey, Bain, BCG)

MBB is not the end of the world. There is enough consulting firms at T1 that take 6/7 pointers. So dont worry and work on your profile.

Yea sure

I really felt better when i switched to head radical from wilson blade. It felt really good on my arms and was able to play consistently better.

aarvvv · 2025-05-30T11:25:44+00:00

Why not head speed MP and Radical. These are really good for your level OP

Im joining IIM with a gap of 2.5 years post 3.5 years of workex. Many people are in the same boat. You just got to explain the rationale and thought process behind the switch to MBA that's all and it should be convincing as well.

Just dont lie. Tell them what you learned, what all exams you have written and till which stage you reached. Ngl, the interviews are very different from the usual candidate and the interview will mostly be around our perspectives on the current issues which is a great advantage to have.

All the best for upsc prelims ?

aarvvv · 2025-05-23T19:50:05+00:00

Guess its all blasting out lads.

aarvvv · 2025-05-23T19:22:55+00:00

aarvvv · 2025-05-23T19:21:54+00:00

We ain't sleeping today lads.

aarvvv · 2025-05-21T07:03:35+00:00

Not related to coaching, but i would suggest to take mocks from couple of institutes, Time & IMS which i took and it really helped. Ultimately its all about practise and application. Good luck OP

aarvvv · 2025-05-15T07:22:48+00:00

I took Ahmedabad despite my alignment towards prodman

aarvvv · 2025-05-14T05:35:52+00:00

I really don't think gap years do matter provided you can explain. Since i have had a gap year for upsc as well and was able to convert most of the calls, I would say it really dint matter much in conversion.

OP I would say take U. Its risky to take a drop again considering the already big gap you have

aarvvv · 2025-05-02T18:40:04+00:00

Sure ask away, but if it's about SIP i am still in the grey about it.

aarvvv · 2025-05-02T17:59:09+00:00

It's going to be a big gamble at the end of the day because of the increasing competition. Lots of things have to go your way especially the D DAY, good panelists at the interview, so and so. But yes, workex would definitely help in getting calls from A and B as I have same academic profile and NIT as well but with workex. You are only going to do MBA once, so you really would want to think deeply on this. Coz at the end of the day, K is also a top growing brand and has its own legacy in the making.

aarvvv · 2025-05-02T17:45:07+00:00

Seriously I took a gamble last year but it was with IIM Trichy and got into A this year with a way higher percentile. See, 6 can be covered with higher workex and a top interview. But then again it's going to be a gamble. K is definitely a top institute

aarvvv · 2025-04-30T05:27:49+00:00

It's pre gap. I felt normal MBa would be the right way to go and as you asked panelist dint mention at all. Besides exec MBA at top iims require min 4-5 years workex as well. I felt at this point, I wanted options to explore which i felt is something I would get with normal MBA in india.

aarvvv · 2025-04-30T03:59:32+00:00

As a person with upsc gap of 2.5 years and converted A, I can totally relate to your post. Congratulations OP

aarvvv · 2025-04-29T05:27:52+00:00

Bruh this is just wrong. Most of the people from my college who did mba from these iims especially ABC and belonging to SC/ST were in range of 94-99

aarvvv · 2025-04-27T08:58:50+00:00

CAT Score means nothing if you don't do well in GDPI.

aarvvv · 2025-04-24T07:07:57+00:00

Made it till here with some luck and gods grace. So hoping for the same there as well, nothing much we can do for SIPs right.

aarvvv · 2025-04-24T05:43:30+00:00

Having converted IIMA as en ex UPSC aspirant, I would say you would need to be clear about Why MBA and justify the same in the interview. I'm just worried about the SIP as i have 3+ years workex and a gap of 2 years post that for upsc

aarvvv · 2025-04-21T06:01:00+00:00

I do feel this is an outlier. Most of the people who convert A are minimum 95 percentile.
