Believe me, no coaching will help you crack IPU CET if you do not do self-study, says Utkarsh

I have a deep interest in analysing and studying the business models of various industries and shops and markets in my neighbourhood as well. I also have a deep interest in different types of marketing and advertising strategies like an ambush, digital, buzz marketing, creative, etc. So this made me take Commerce in my high school. As I had an interest in basketball as well, this made me take Physical Education in place of Mathematics in high school which later on proved to be a great decision of mine.

Choosing BBA and specifically, JIMS was all my personal choice no one forced me to opt for any career or field that I didn't like. My family has always supported me to the fullest. IP University is one the top universities in the country and JIMS Kalkaji - Jagannath International Management School is among its top five institutions as well the Kalkaji campus is convenient for metro travellers too. I opted for it.

I had a clear vision that I had to do BBA only and specifically from IP University only.  So I only filled out the form for IPU BBA CET and gave the exam. The exam was moderately difficult and I managed to get a rank which was more than sufficient to get me the institute of my choice. Yes, I had taken coaching at the infinite school of learning, Lajpat Nagar. But believe me, no coaching will help you if you do not do self-study. I personally believe that taking coaching is an individual's own choice. However, you can get the book from the market and easily crack this entrance. There is no such issue.

For the exam. I advise believing in yourself. And do multiple revisions of current affairs and general aptitude questions of previous years. Maths do not come in the BBA exam. So there is a relief. Logical reasoning and English aptitude are a bit tricky but practise will do your work.

I try my best to become the best of my personality during the college life

I explore a lot, travel to new places with my friends and also attends all the fests and competition of every college. I work upon my weaknesses and also do many short term personality development courses too. I want to learn at least one foreign language before my second year. And also aspire as a CAT aspirant for my master's.

I am currently in six societies in my college wherein I learn many things from each of them. My seniors are very helpful and supportive. They always advise me the good and tell me how to utilise the college to the fullest. My teachers are too friendly and supportive they always try to teach in unique and interactive ways to learn.
