Road to SIIB
vaibhav
Well my road to Symbiosis Institute of International Business started long back when i started preparing for cat’05.But after the CAT disaster..i knew before hand that i was not going to make it anywhere..so i decided to give all the entrances available.This was especially hard since i was in my final year of BSc..but i had no other choice..one of them happened to be snap (which admittedly could have been conducted in a more proffessional way).The exam went quite well and i kept logging on to various sites and forums to figure out whch colleges to apply for and their cutoffs before finally shortlisting sibm,scmhrd and siib.i was desperate for sibm because of the dual mba factor but between scmhrd and siib i was torn between an international business degree and a college with more reputation.as i saw the cutofs of last year the predictions were 80/200 for sibm,76/200 for scmhrd and 70/200 for siib.
The day of the result was the same day as xat’06.there waas some glitch in the result site but finally the results were out and i had secured 93.50..going by the predictions i presumed i wudve made it everywhere.Then came the shockers…sibm dual mba closed at 97 while its marcom programme which i hadn’t applied for closed at 64.I was devastated.but presumed i would make scmhrd..here again a shocker..engineers and workex people with marks lower than me were shortlisted while i was conviniently rejected for having a “weak profile”.
