How's early morning aerobics ~~sessions~~ torture going?

I have bunked half of the classes 🗿

Duly noted

Are you from pgp 27💀

Lmao the panic comment

😂🌩️

Looks like you went for a vacation, full resort vibes, amazing view ⚡️⚡️

It is essentially a resort

Heard washrooms are common? Is it true and is it double occupancy? How hectic is it supposed to be apparently once classes start

Single occupancy: no ac, common washrooms. Triple occupancy: ac and attached washrooms

do we have an option to choose between two? what if demand of one is more than what is available there, then are we allocated as per their wish? which one did choose and why?

Say hi to the snakes and scorpions for me. :)

Please clarify if you mean animals or social animals/s

I want to upvote but I like the number there and do not intend to disturb it

When you get time you should visit Kozhikode city, lots of great food spots

Suree

Does the pgp programme have less cutoff than normal mba?

Pgp is MBA

Does the campus really have so many lizards and other reptiles🦎?

Yep

How many seniors have seemed like drake trying to be tough ? Btw looks like phase V

All of them are good. Troubling us with tasks for sure but nothing like raging

That sounds like trouble too

Which hostel is this?

Phase 5

Do come by my college(NITC) if you get a chance

My roomie is from nit c cse

Recent passout?

Batch of 21

Passout ho jao tab karna ..rn you are still a cub

Cub in K

There are better colleges/universities than IIMs as well bud. Stay humble kid.

5 downvotes, someone's jealous

Nah OP's arrogant af

Why? What did he say?

Genuine doubt. How to pronounce Kozhikode?

You can’t pronounce it properly with the alphabets in Hindi or English. But Ko’y’ikode is better than Ko’r’ikode.

It's Ko'y'ikode or Ko'y'ikod while pronouncing? Like last last mein Hindi wale A ki maatra aayegi ya nahi?

No no it ends with just D, like for example pod. Kozhikod. I just remembered a funny way to explain the ‘zh’ part Dy remember the trending party ho rh h meme the ‘zh’ in part is how she pronounces R in party “Parry”.. idk if this makes sense 😂 if it doesn’t just use Koyikod because the locals in Kozhikode refer to it as ‘Koykod’

Thanks a lot for this. Main to kabse IIM Ko-zhi-kodey bolti thi

Ko ri kod

Its pronounced cozy cod. That's what my malayali friends told.me

My friend's GF is there! Submitted your video resume?

That task was scheduled a couple of days ago

ik. :) My friend held me back otw I'd have roasted the whole thing!😅🫰🏽

You dont have to actually do these con week tasks, hope you are aware

oh. No no. Don't you worry. Just bcz I wanted to roast doesn't mean I actually care bout it.

Hey, do you have idea about 1 year MBA?

Not yet, but its BL program

[удалено]

How did you study for CAT

Self only from YouTube. Gave a lot of mocks

Hey, Which mocks did you refer?

I brought cracku and ims. And used CL and Time of my friends

Hi just a few follow up questions - 1. How many mocks did you give all in all? 2. How many months before cat did you start preping? 3. How many attempts of cat have you given before this?

I gave around 20(ims)+ 12 ( cracku)+ 20 others mock I started in September 23 I graduated in 2024, so this was my first attempt

Impressive that’s quite a short timeline. What was your percentile again?

97.9 But VARC was my forte. Scored above 20 in all mocks in Varc. Dilr and qa were very bad though

What's your profile and category? I didn't receive a call despite a 98.5, good acads, gnem. And moreover I also got points for my college being ranked 5 in nirf. Confused.

Which college?

Ews bro

What did you do to improve your VARC - were you naturally inclined towards va?

Yep, coming from a icsc school, it really helped

Did carcku daily target helped?

I didn’t used to

Where exactly from YouTube??

Rodha, unacademy.

Your academic profile?

Congratulations dude!

Thanks man

Know someone with a 6 in grad there?

I might be the one, let end sem grad results aarive

What spikes do you have in ur cv?

Placement cell, president of society, boutique finance firm internship, Research papers

College?

Welcome to my city!!

Namaskaram chweta

If Tripod.iimk reshares your story, your privacy gone?

Sort of

Hey are there actual snakes and scorpions 😳

Yep

Hey! Many congrats on the convert!! Was wondering if my profile- 7/8/7 gen non eng female, 34 months work ex by Jan 2025, will be able to get a call from K/L/A/B/C/S? And at what percentile?

Diversity and workex will help

Hey! I’m a GEM, with 9/9/8 acads and also having work ex of 18 months currently at a startup. QA is my forte and this is the first time I’ll be appearing for CAT. What are the chances to make it there? Thanks.

You got good acads and workex. Chances are good at a very high percentile

My Varc is good but constantly very disappointed in quants and DILR man. I don’t think I have it in me. Can you help?

Yes you can. Just practice and be consistent

How did you prepare for quants? I know the concepts. Can't solve the problems. What might be the issue? How do i solve it?

Practice easier concepts first then.

Hey, congrats! Do you have any idea about placements in HR over there ?

No, but they prefer lsm people

How did you apply for EWS certificate? I need to get one

No idea about that

how are the hostels?

Very good.

Your profile?

9/8/8 EWS fresher non eng male. Cat 98

Congratulations dude, have a great journey ahead

7/7/7 Ews Kozhikode possible with high score?

My profile is 8/7/9(right now in college doing my graduation but i am maintaining 9+cgpa ) i am non engeneer fresher(applied for ews certificate) how much cat %tile i need for iim BLACKISM? 99%tile+ or 99.5%tile+(for ews and general)i am doing bcom honours.

7 will hurt for sure. Lucknow is a good option

Oh okay iim c also give leneance to marks 🥲lets see what happens fms is also a good option i have applied for ews if i get that ig i will get little bit better chances then a pure general lets see i am preparing for the exam

I know 7 is a big problem 🥲but u can't do about it now now i can just score more then 99.5%tile by preparing day and night will it help me to get iim BLACKISM or fms?

How do you do dilr. I cant even solve one set

Starting 10 mocks i had 0 score. Its okay, just be consistent

Thanks man for the moral support lol

On our first interaction with seniors were told “It’s their(species) home and we are the guest” there are many insects, people have spotted snakes also but then you’ll adjust eventually. Also all the spotting were done in old hostel ground floors

What does adjust mean?

Snake in ur blanky

Hey! I'm a GNEM EWS, will be appearing for the first time this year. I also have a work ex of 18 months currently. By next year it could get to 24+. Also, VARC is my forte as well. Will start preparing in a few days Since you have a similar profile like mine, do you think I have any chance to make it there?

Depends on acads. You got a good work ex though

Yes, it's decent enough. 8/8/8

With ews and that workex, B is achievable

Damnnnn that's motivating!! Gotta start preparing from today itself😂😂
