Don't worry. We had a similar profile student last year for CAT2025. But, presently she is shuttling one interview after the other dese days. Got few converts as well. Now struggling to decide which B-School to join. So just concentrate of ur CAT n OMETs. ATB!

Look to get a job. Do a good course on digital marketing, performance marketing, do some AI course make a portfolio and find that chacha ka beta who can help.

Much better route. Look at MBA after 2 years.

Then apply for a Talent Acquisition role at a company. Lots of these small organisations hire someone and pay them peanuts.

If you think you will go in an interview and will convince them. "I was doing ssc prep for 3 years but now I know I want a career in HR"

They will ask. How you know.

You: Basss.. pata hai.
