Find out how Shankar selected MBA for his post-graduation and cracked college admission.

In 2012 I was working in Fernandez Hospital when one of my friends suggested me to go for higher studies. I said I have done graduation now what I should do? He said go for MBA. I enquired about how to join MBA. I also got information about ICET – the exam that I needed to qualify to pursue higher education.

How I cracked college admission

I prepared for ICET through internet and books and gave the exam in March 2012. After a few months, in October 2012 I got results. I had cleared the exam. Those who had qualified by ranking were to be given an ID and password from government to choose a college. The dates had to be given to us within a week’s time during which we had to choose a college out of several college names depending on our choice. After completing this they called us for counselling date wise or rank wise. We had to go to the centre for counselling with all original certificates. I attended the counselling and all my certificates were valid. After a few days I was allotted a seat in ICBM SBE College.
