Admit 01 ---- NITIE – My Dream Institute in Those Days !!!

Circa 2003 in a cool morning of the Jan a guy with thick glasses and big hope in his eyes entered through the gates of NITIE and his first reaction was he was entering into the heaven!! The whole surrounding was engulfed in fog. Adding to it the campus was surrounded with the Vihar Lake and lush green lawns. It was first time in his life he is visiting any management school campus. After strolling through the campus he realized yes this is heaven for guy like him who want to do something in management.

The memories of the last day’s NITIE exam (those days NITIE used to conduct its separate exam and as this guy never thought he is capable of cracking CAT so he took this easy way out) sent quivering through his body which brought him on ground and then he headed towards the NITIE hostel. He managed to catch one of PGDIM program student and then he asked everything from will I make it to NITIE or not? What about the sectional cut offs (He screwed in one section out of 5 badly). The fellow answered many queries and headed towards his block wishing our guy all the best. He returned from NITIE campus empty handed but yes there is something more he got that day…..A DREAM TO BE IN BEST SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT.

It was no wonder that after doing CRT F and entering his name in the short listed candidates for GD/PI after n number of time this guys failed to locate his name in the list….how can he found it when it was not there in first place. Dejected, rejected he thought the B-School is not his game but his dreams always reminded him, no he can reach there. Then next 2 year’s story was not much different. Every year this guy used to fill NITIE form hoping at least he land up there. But only years changed but not his scores. With such an abysmal scores in CAT 2003 and CAT 2004 this guy never dared to send his score card to NITIE after the results.

With such a humiliation from CAT his fellow was in no mood to write it again but the dream inside never made him to stop. As usual he filled CAT form but this time he was reluctant to fill NITIE form (of course looking at track record why to loose 1000 bucks). But he didn’t know what happened, the hope inside made him to submit his form on last day. Two days later it was last CAT of his life and this guy don’t want to give CAT one more chance to humiliate him. But with sheer determination this guy rocked CAT 2005 with 99.71 and BLACKI honor. The NITIE was remained only a formality to give him a call.
Now his targets on radar were different. They were none other than 6 IIMs. When NITIE GD/PI date declared, it was clashing with IIM L so this guy thought he will forget NITIE as chances were high that he will land up in some of IIMs. But still he made schedule change and decided to attend NITIE.
The day was 8/03/2005 our guy entered the NITIE campus but this time he had his bag full of IIM calls which added extra confidence to him. With this he rocked the NITIE GD/PI and came back home with full confidence of converting it.

The formality completed when yesterday NITIE thought to wish him the Holi with this good news. He got the overall rank 07…..One time his dream institute calling him….Will he go ?

You now must realized this guy is none other than yours truly !!!
Yes I am surely happy over the NITIE victory. Now I am expecting IIMs to join party soon…..even they don’t I am not much bother at this moment as I am already at my one time dream institute. Yes my dream got promoted last 3 years but I know there is no end to it ……AFTER ALL DREAMS ARE UNLIMITED !!!!!
