10th- 87.3%
12th- 78.00% (Commerce with Computer Science)
Gap year
UG- 71.84 (B.Com Hons from a Tier 3 UGC approved university)
Got job offers but none were worthy so let's say this is another gap year.
Extra curriculars & Achievements

* Certificate from CBSE for being among the top 0.1% students in English * * Language & Literature
* Professionally trained in Bharatnatyam & swimming with certificates
* Lead & conducted several events for my uni and IIT zonals
* Rest are school achievements so they don't matter.
Last year CAT percentile ( PURE LUCK & GOD'S GRACE):
Overall- 77.84
VARC- 74.99
LRDI- 94.87
QUANTS- 9.36
What's lacking & how can I improve my profile? Also, should I stop dreaming of BLACKI even if I score good this time? If possible, please back your answers so that I come out of my delusion. 🥀
So, 103 days are left for CAT 2026 and as a lazy, ungrateful yet talented BRAT, I've decided to seriously start my prep. I've no idea what I'm gonna score or what I'll do in the future but what I'm sure of is that this is my final chance to revive my inner academic final boss by being CONSISTENT, DISCIPLINED and RESILIENT like I used to be in my school days. I miss being the golden kid and an overachiever. I wanna prove all my teachers and batchmates that they were right when they said Yeh ladki pakka successful hogi life mein." Especially wanna make my mum proud (she already is but I don't think I've achieved anything in my life, yet that she should be proud of. So, YEAH.)
Ik I'm too late but BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!
I'll be posting my daily progress here. So, wish me LUCK!!!!! Also, all the best to all the aspirants here as well.
# Materials I'll be using (Classes included):
* R7 for Quants
* R8 for LRDI
* 3 LRDI & 4 Quants books provided by R
* Topic tests & mocks provided by R
* VARC from YT, free tests available, GM@t club, etc
* Full length & sectional mocks I'll buy only if I feel worthy of solving them
⚠️Not promoting anything AT ALL
Ik it's a lot to cover and it's almost impossible to do so but I'm currently not working and the only extra thing I do daily is attend my dance classes. So, worth a try. And as someone who truly believes that hardwork should always be rewarded, I'll too reward myself by watching 1 movie from my extremely LONG TBW list every Sunday.
Now, it's a long post and I should stop blabbering and go start studying instead.
🎀Will be very happy to receive any suggestions or guidance y'all may have
Okay BYE :)
So, I don't know if this is is the right sub to ask this question but I really need to let it all out. So, I'm a 2026 Bcom (Hons) graduate from a Tier 3 college and my profile is 7/8/7 GNEF.
Currently I'm preparing for CAT 2026 and
I've actually got an offer from HCL to jo1n their Graduate Trainee Programme (Tech Support) with a 1 year contract period and the package is 2.9 LPA ( can be negotiated to max 3.25 LPA) and if I breach it, I'll have to pay a 50K rupees fine. Also, I cannot change my domain until and unless I work for at least 2 years on a particular project.
👉🏻Now the problems I'm facing are :
* I already have a gap year after 12th so don't wanna add another one. (was battling depression)
* Never did an internship bcs of some personal reasons
* The role I'm being offered is not something I'd like to pursue either now or in future but MAJBOORI 🫠
* I have re enrolled myself in my Bharatnatyam dance class for another year and paid the entire fees, due to which I cannot relocate this year for sure.
* I'm also kinda struggling financially and have wasted a lot of my mum's ( she's a single parent) money on different coachings but never studied and I really do regret it.
* I've already paid for R0dha's R7 batch and the only thing left is to fill the CAT form.
👉🏻 The perks I have rn
* I'm trained in Bharatnatyam and swimming plus extra curriculars are quite good, be it in school or college
* If I jo1n HCL, I won't have to relocate bcs the campus is in my very own city plus it's a Hybrid job and I'll have a source of income.
* I am not bad at studies, it's just that I'm not consistent & disciplined. But once I am, Ik I can do it all.
So, all in all I'm really confused what to do. Should I decline the offer and give CAT a shot or should I accept it and start earning instead?
Also, I want you guys to be very honest to me, if I achieve a good CAT percentile, what B school calls can I expect at my current profile? Y'all don't need to be kind. In fact be BRUTAL. I want honest answers. Can't afford to be delusional.
Thank you in advance😭🙏🏻
So, forgot to mention that I attempted CCAT 2025 and scored 77.84 percentile overall and highest in LRDI which was 94.4 percentile. PURE LUCK, I'D SAY. So, maybe this is what encouraged me to prepare for CAT 2026 but now that I'm actually solving questions, it feels like a HUGE DEAL😭💔 But I'm ready for it as long as I get a good score and a call from a good B school.
Idk if I'm being delusional or just optimistic. So, y'all please drop your honest opinions 🎀
Went to a mall with my mum to buy new clothes & do some grocery shopping. I was in a really good mood and don't know why tf did I decide to go purchase the groceries first and shop clothes later. Maybe bcs there was too much rush and I didn't want my favourite Namkeen packet to be out of stock as it was already on all the online platforms. So, I asked my mum to check out other things on the list till the time I go in that Namkeen aisle.
The crowd there was truly INSANE but somehow I managed to get in but couldn't find the packet I was looking for and then I saw a man who was very enthusiastically telling to a group of 6 or 7 women about which Namkeen they should be buying. Now all the women were in Burkhas ( I live in a Musl1m dominated city and the mall too was totally filled by them) so I literally had no idea they were from the same family and MISTAKENLY assumed that the man was a staff member bcs he was so enthusiastically telling them about which Namkeen they should be buying and coincidentally he literally wore the same shirt & pant and I decided to ask him if he could tell me where can I find the khatta meetha bhujia packet. He obviously was offended bcs he very rudely replied that he doesn't work here and I was really embarrassed and said sorry multiple times which he accepted and then I decided to search the packet myself.
BUT. I WAS WRONG BCS This is where the things took a really negative turn. The entire family blocked me & my trolley and that guy's younger brother came up to me, he was literally SO CLOSE to my face and asked me the price of a Namkeen's packet. I told him I don't know but these people didn't leave me and continued asking me such questions even after me saying no politely multiple times and my body literally froze. Not bcs of the questions but bcs of how close that guy was. Then my mum literally saw that and called my name and somehow gathered up the courage to run out of there. My mum then asked me about what happened and I told her everything after which the both of us turned around and saw the entire family laughing.
Things didn't stop there. The guy followed me around for a good 20 mins and only decided to leave when someone called him back.
I totally agree that I did a grave mistake and I'm really embarrassed about it but I surely don't think that I deserved this treatment, especially encouraged by the 2nd party's family which was filled by women. My mum was ready to tear them apart but I stopped her somehow bcs I was so shaken up and didn't want to create a scene. Literally went back home crying. Fuck em all😭💔
Just finished watching Smallville and me having goosebumps all over my body and tears in my eyes would be such an understatement bcs I've truly never felt so overwhelmed ( in a good way) after watching the ending of a show. It took me almost a month to complete all the episodes and I used to watch at least 5 to 12 episodes daily (just graduated and had a break so I had plenty of time) and all the days that I spent watching it were definitely one of the best days ever. I don't think any other show is gonna come this close to my heart. Like ever. My most memorable moment of the show would definitely be CLARK wearing his Superman suit and saving everyone by bringing light into their lives. Both literally and figuratively.
Now, let's talk about what pissed me off the most before I give my positive review of the show, which is CLARK & LANA'S LONG ARSE UNNECESSARY, TOXIC AND ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS RELATIONSHIP!! The writers were the true villains of the show. 😭 I have no idea why they stretched their annoying relationship for 8 SEASONS. Every time I saw Lana on screen after she left for Paris just managed to shoot my BLOOD PRESSURE up. She pissed me off so bad. Truly. Even after seeing a gorgeous and talented woman like Kristen as Lana, I couldn't help but hate the character.
And CLARK. My boy!!! Bro you literally had an X Ray vision but couldn't see what was in front of you? Totally blind in the matter of love. How dare you leave my girl, Lois for Lana? 💀 The writers should've made him pine and grovel at his feet for Lois for at least 10 episodes. He literally had feelings for her since the very first day he saw her yet was such a coward to actually accept them. We can see how he was so overprotective of Lois and jealous of her love interests even before, with and after Lana. He literally left everything and everyone in the timeline where he thought Lois was dead and they weren't even in a relationship there. Whatever he felt for Lois was so much more than he ever felt for any girl in his life but this silly man still forgot that even though Lois is strong and mature and very understandable she still needs some words of affirmation. Just showing his love through actions and not even letting her know about it was INSANE. SUCH A LOSER. Only said I love you to Lois by actually spelling out loud just 2 TIMES IN THE SHOW😭
I'm not done complaining but let's come to the best part of the show : THE CAST. ABSOLUTELY AND HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED AND A PERFECT FIT FOR THEIR ROLES. I practically started drooling when I first saw Tom Welling as Clark Kent on screen. I don't think, I've ever seen an actor look so charming, boyish yet masculine in his 20s. And Erica Durance!!!! So talented, sexy and cool. When I saw her in that red bikini, I literally wanted to wife her up!!! These two and Justin Hartley are definitely my TOP 3 in the show. Justin was an amazing Green Arrow. I got so sad that he didn't get a show of his own and then the sadness multiplied when I got to know that he was cast as Aquaman but the show was cancelled. Like bro!!!!! How can you miss that chance? CRAZZYYYYY waste of potential!!!! 😭
Now, it's time to blabber about one of my favorite episodes if not the favorite which is SEASON 10 EPISODE 15. This episode was HILARIOUS. I loved every second of him. Especially Emil. He definitely stole the show. Also, him and Tess having a fiery kiss at the end, lmao. And let's not forget how a lot of us must've snorted out loud seeing our beloved Green Arrow and a billionaire aka THE OLIVER QUEEN in full makeup and sexy dress of a dancer beside Lois in the Casino. 🤣
I guess this is the only episode which was actually LIGHT HEARTED and where nobody d1ed💀🙏🏻
Okayyy. So, the para lady aka ME needs to go and search for a job. So wish me luck please. I truly need a good high paying job to pay my bills!!!!! Love y'all. Byee. And sorry for such a long arse review😭💗
I am currently giving my last sem exàms of B.Com (Hons) and struggling to find a good job. The college placements suck so bad. Only sales jobs are being offered which I definitely don't want. I get it, that the job market is truly a mess but when I see people on LinkedIn or other platforms getting jobs with the same degree and with no other additional courses and sometimes not even coming from a good college receive good offers at good companies, I just can't help but wonder, ME WHEN? Nobody's there to guide me. I'm trying but I have no idea how to move forward. I'm so stressed out. I can't afford to have another gap year. I'm good at both the academics and extra curriculars but somehow still can't reach my goal. I'm running out of time. My single mom has worked really hard to raise me and my sister. She deserves the best ROI. Idk what to do?
Sorry for the rant and thankyou in advance to the people for reading it.
