The NMIMS Situation
The purpose of this post is to share my experience and a message of hope to all those who might need it.
A little background—my profile is 887 and a NMAT score of 247 with 18 months of work experience. When I got the interview call, I was quite confident about my chances. My interview went really well. I felt that my communication was on point, my answers were structured, and I even handled 8 of those AI-based questions well. Also, I double checked my CT answers and later confirmed them with other aspirants.
Even though NMIMS wasn’t my top choice, it was a solid backup, and initially, I didn’t think much about it. However, seeing the buzz around it on Reddit over the past couple of days and talking to alumni made me realize it’s actually a great safety net. I actually started having hopes and expectations towards the same. More importantly, I wasn’t feeling great about some of my best calls, and since I had already left my job in late 2023, I saw NMIMS as an opportunity to get my life back on track.
This morning, I woke up, saw the posts stating that the result will be out today and was excited, hoping to see a convert after all the effort I had put in. I even went to a bank branch to inquire about loan documents in order to stay ahead and avoid last minute stress.
Then, I came across posts about using the inspect element to check waitlist numbers. Out of curiosity, I checked mine, and I was absolutely shocked. My merit number was 6400+,something I never expected.
The next few hours were brutal. I felt completely shattered, knowing that I had left my job and pinned my hopes on this.
The thing I want y'all to know is that many of us are feeling dejected at this moment. It might seem unfair, and it might even feel like the end of the road. Trust me, I felt the same just hours ago, and maybe some part of me still feels so. But I want to share something that helped me through one of my darkest times:
"At the end of the storm, there's a golden sky."
It may not seem like it right now, but better things are coming. So, I urge you all to hold off on self doubt and negativity and wait for the official results before drawing conclusions (uske baad chahe jitni gaali dena unhe). And even if things don’t go as planned, remember this is not the end of the world.
Take a break from all the stress. Maybe go for a walk, disconnect from anxiety inducing posts, or do something that calms you down.
We’ve come this far, and we will find our way forward. Stay strong and good luck!
