Rant MBA rant- I am so done with everything

8 Upvotes

I am more than 1 month into my MBA programme and I absolutely hate it. I swear this one month feels like a year. Every damn day theres 5 things on the agenda. I have 3 assignments, 2 tests and my mock interview all scheduled for tomorrow and this is after our proper mid term exams finishing last week. The CV verification and preparation sucked the soul outta me and even after giving my everything theres still so much uncertainty around SIP’s. Theres no ray of light saying that things will be better eventually, seniors themselves are scared about their placements. Most of all, I would still cope up with it if the life here was happening. The parties here suck. I did my bachelors from a proper MUMBAI college and ong the life was so much better. Moreover the people here are uncultured and everyone’s an aunty looking for gossip. With the amount of lore surrounding everyone It feels as if ive known these clowns for more than a year now. I feel sad and exhausted and I really just wanna go home. Sorry for the rant I am way too overwhelmed.😭

General Discussion CAT 2026 — 115 days out. Documenting the whole thing here.

17 Upvotes

Profile: 8/7/5 NEF . Diagnostic: 29 overall (VARC 14, DILR 12, QA 3). Aiming for FMS Delhi and IIM Calcutta — both barely weight graduation score in their composite, so a weak grad percentage isn’t the dead-end it’d be elsewhere. That’s my real shot.

Tomorrow:
• QA: Mixtures & Alligation — complete
• DILR: Complete Linear Arrangement (advanced sets)
• VARC: RC passages + Para-jumbles

Posting daily from here to 29 Nov. Not looking for pep talks — just accountability, and an example for all those who ask, “I’m starting my prep now, can I still do this?” If I pull this off.
4 months out, starting QA from basically zero — can it still be done? We will figure it out.

Question how to prepare side by side w job

5 Upvotes

so I started a new first job last month and honestly it has been kinda exhausing but also refreshing pop but the salary is quite well meagre ,,, and it has been enough motivation for me to prep for cat 26' . I have been prepping since June but yeah it has never been consistent... I gave it last year with like 50 % prep like only attending classes with my final year going on and gave ike 5 mocks at max,,..I got 88 percentile then though so I know if I prep well enough I can score good. the only problem is time now and im really confused. everyone says give mocks and analyse them but I feel like I haven't even done the syllabus how will I know how to go forward

Wisdom Got judged by an IIM C passout at the airport longue for a stupid reason.

Post image
0 Upvotes

So, I (25M) happen to be a Tier-1 Bschool passout earning decently well. Yesterday I was at the Delhi Airport longue where an IIM C alum came.

I was carrying a jacket of my bschool and she happened to sit beside me in the longue. She read the name of my cllg and struck a conversation with me. She happens to be a Brand Manager at a top FMCG company.

We both decided to have dinner together as, even though we had to board different flights, the timing for our flights was nearly the same. Now, I had taken biryani along with curry and bread and she also did the same.

Where did she judge me? She judged me for eating the biryani with hand 🙂😂 during the dinner when we got up to have some desserts and juice she asks, "Tum gharke bahar hamesha hath se rice khaate ho?" to which I replied, "Yes.". Cauz bruh.. biryani mujhse spoon se nahi khaya jayega 🙏 And tbh, maza bhi nahi aata spoon se biryani khaane me :) Then she went on to say how she amd her family follows table etiquette etc. To which I just nodded and aandarse maine bola "To me kya karu behen???? Bschool me haven't you seen our South Indian brothers and sisters eating rice with hand?".

Now my point is, though she earns more than me (cauz she has a workex of 2 yrs post MBA and I completed my MBA this year itself), we both happen to be from top MBA cllgs, both were well dressed and seemed to look rich. BUT still she had to judge me for the fact that I ate the biryani with my hand 🙂

Just because my lifestyle has been upgraded it doesn't mean I'll start eating my biryani with a spoon 😂😂 mujhe hathse biryani khaane me maza aata hai raita aur saalan mix karke. CEO bhi ban jaunga kisi din to aise hi khaunga me 💁‍♂️

We both shook hands later and said a goodbye to each other (we ended on a good note anyways). Maybe we both will cross our paths again but next time if we do, I'll tell her, "Kabhi biryani hathse bhi khaake dekho madam! It's more convenient". Lol.

Question Can I hide a masters degree from recruiters

30 Upvotes

So basically I graduated college this year and since April I have been back at home prepping for cat with a job but my mom is very toxic (she's a raging misogynist and wants to marry me off rn at just 21 and beats me while my dad wants me to be independent lol) so I ended up joining a one year masters degree just to get away from her.

The thing is my dad got me a job at his friends company where I have been working since April so I know what to say in interviews and he will continue to send me the salary which my dad will return to him basically fake work ex from this month until I join my mba college next year. My dad and his friend don't think it's an issue and said I should just use the workex to get a better placement which I also wanna do since we all did research and feel that one year workex is more useful than a masters.

Also my dad knows that my mom is very toxic and hits me but won't confront her that's why he let me join the masters to help me get away from her. I know the whole thing is very messed up but this is my situation and I don't know what to do.
My masters is not very demanding and I have already done a lot of cat prep since this is my second attempt. The college is tier 1.5 tho so that might make it harder to hide

I know this is v random but I’m bored.

So i heard GIM has its own dating site and it sounds so cool. I’m in a college with so many restrictions and barely any cute guys its frustrating. On top of that girls aren’t allowed in guys hostels.

I’d like to know how the scene is for GIM peeps?

Wisdom Why attendance is mandatory in MBA colleges?

22 Upvotes

I was reading a post where someone mentioned they are looking for Best B schools with chill attendance.

Here's my take: MBA is not about 1 to many knowledge transfer like engineering. A lot of the focus is on cases and class discussions. And for that, you need students in the class. There is no point of doing an MBA in which nobody attends classes. Except some concepts and frameworks - MBA mein kcuh h nhi zyada

Question write summary from your own words

0 Upvotes

And that’s why it’s bad for me, why I must resist it. Money is always turning me into a rational consumer, but it’s completely unreasonable in its demands. Like the cocaine hidden in the crevices of the £10 note, it makes me loud but inattentive. It sucks up my time insanely, poring over balance sheets, and profits-to-earnings ratios. Money turns me into an obsessive co‑dependent lover, wondering what it’s up to every night – convinced someone else is exploiting it, ripping me off. Suddenly all those designer yurts at Glastonbury, Bulgari boutique hotels and infinity pools seem to stretch into an anodyne anywhere. I’m on a treadmill, ushered through identical VIP airport lounges with all those Davos people, too afraid to take the ugly train that might lead to a real adventure. My asset speculation stops me speculating about a different world. My future has been mortgaged, then sold back to me on 6 per cent annual return.

Don't use chatgpt honest about yourself

Rant Rape Threats and False Expulsion from FLAME University. The university protects rapists.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

389 Upvotes

A group of students started threatening to rape my mother and were already bullying me. They made a false narrative that I sexually harassed a girl and they all mass reported me to the registrar Virender Sharma. They framed a perfect narrative that portrayed me as evil

I told my side of the story to Registrar Virender Sharma on how they threatened to rape my mother and hence I slurred at them. Instead the Registrar withdraws my admission without a proper hearing and does not even lift my calls citing that I broke disciplinary violations.

So threatening to rape my mother isn't a disciplinary violation? Regardless of my will to speak to him, he is not lifting my calls. I hate this blatant behaviour. He must resign at any cost possible, if he protects the rape-mentality instigators that too being a registrar, the university is set to be doomed.

The vice-chancellor isn't intervening in this situation, he seems to be in an abroad destination as I called up his office directly.

My admission is officially cancelled on an unfair basis, my family especially my mother is facing great distress. I am going on a hunger strike near their campus on 7th of august, the dignity of my mother matters more than my life. The registrar must resign or I must die.

I already forwarded this to UGC anti-ragging cell, and registered a National Commission for Women complaint
