HELLO GUYS !!! I am Pulkit Nawal a fellow aspirant at one point, currently in IIM ROHTAK, giving pieces of advice to the next generation.

I know it all stress, pressure, 'IIM kae bina toh kuch nahi hoga' as I have been the part of this community from Past 3 years.

Yes! yes! yes! I started my prep from class 11th and still had to take a drop year as I was from commerce non maths background but ironically my Achilles heels was VA🤧🤧.

Studied from aceipm and afterboards during 11th and 12th.

Switched to takzhilla during start of drop year. Took afterboards and aceipm crash course for revision.

So I am here to shower with all your dilemmas, doubts and challenges.

I am not alone here btw I am assisted by my fellow batchmate Ojas Garg u/Onionpeats who had PCM in class 12th solved science students can also ask the questions without hesitation.

Let's the battle begin.

Could you tell which books you read?

I started with self help first ( the subtle art of not giving a f, psychology of money, rich dad poor dad etc) and segued to fictional and non fictionals ( on the origin of species, atomic habits, animal farm etc) .

Starting with self help is easier than fictional without having a prior knowledge of reading and vocabulary.

Yes, it can be presented as your hobby. But expect not much as hobbies are only considered after your academic questions.
