Journey to IIM 2

As expected I didn't clear the big one IITJEE, dropped a year, prepared a bit harder this time yet not fully committed.
Result : again the same , slightly different i was eligible for AIEEE central counselling with an AIR 25000 roughly with no hopes of top NITs
I got Dr. MGR engg. college, Chennai
The fees was so high dat i derived proportional relation with fees and facilities but to my surprise i found the case was not to be this.
I would not malign my college as i have spend 4 yrs there but certainly an advice to everyone
-> please verify extremely well before taking any big leap.
The 4 wonderful years:
this was the place i found ppl from all backgrounds , states n cultures
the situation was that teacher did not know the formula of tan A
and a student didn't know how to convert centimetre into milli metre
this was my 1st experience of engineering collge.

Anyways to shorten we were hit hard by a couple of floods(risked my own life to save 2 of my friends and saved all the 3 of us), buildings collapsed
Massive strike in the 1st yr. In short future looked doomed
2nd yr a handful out of thousand frm our senior batch (2007) got placements.
That was something to cheer for, even we cud get placed in an infosys or tcs like our seniors.
The spirit was high
2nd yr passed.

Coaching for cat
joined a coaching institute with full enthusiasm
as my 10th was rock solid , english was good enough because of my 10th school
started preparing
managed to solve the package questions very easily.
then in the middle of 3rd yr got placed in a software firm, felt confident that i m not useless but became lenient towards CAT
At the end of 3rd yr (2008 received the jolt our seniors were deferred joining so started CAT prep again, was very tensed and nervous
college load + just 4 months to do everything
i was pretty scared , toughest exam on earth and 4 months thats it

When i flunked IITJEE aft 3 yrs of prep
could i do it?
Yes as my 10th was strong
No i have never proved myself in the past
