From past few days I was in a dilemma. Actually I got admission in a B-school(N) which is not an IIM L.So what I thought was to drop this year and give CAT again to get into an IIM. I thought this not because N is not good. But because most of my frens like P,A,R and panks will get into an IIM next year surely. So it created a feeling of inferiority in me that next year I may feel bad. But yes I want to clear that I will not at all be jealous of my frens because they are really good and deserve to be in an IIM.
I think what matters is the position which you get after you complete your education and not the name of the school or college or the university. It’s true that if you are from a good college or school then it matters. But if you can still prove yourself being in a school or a college of moderate level, then it’s really worth because then nobody asks you how you managed to be at that position because it’s your own calibre and potential that matters. There are so many people in good educational institutions and are not able to reach upto that level which is expected from them.
Actually these were the cerebrations which came into my mind. After all, my frens, parents and seniors also gave me the same advice i.e. to join N and I accepted it. Some of the people may think about me that I have accepted “angoor khatte hai” .But what I think is that the DESTINATION matters more than the JOURNEY. I don’t say that journey is not at all important but in the end destination is praised J.
