Hello


Thank you for writing to us. I very well understand your present situation. First of all I would like to tell you to feel relaxed as you still have a lot of time to do and achieve big things. It is quite certain for students to face confusions at your age, and the main reason is because most of you haven't analysed what you like and what you want to be in future. Lots of students study well in general and for this reason they think they are suitable to all type of subjects and the related careers. And most students blindly follow what others suggest them to do. This is where the root to confusions stem from. However I am very glad for you - know why? You are motivated to find the next right opportunity and not get stuck with this entrance exam preparations over and over again. I also deeply appreciate your interest in pursuing a new subject and took interest and responsibility to approach counsellors to be guided by them. I totally appreciate you for this effort. This well reflects your responsibility towards your career and future, and if you hold to it well I am sure you will ROCK.

First of all, I would like to tell you, you are great and you haven't lost anything as such. You are determined in nature else would you have thought to study a new course? Lots of students get stuck up with repeated entrance exam attempts and I have seen many weeping for years but in your case you are courageous enough to get past it and move on. I understand you have given quite good number of attempts for medicine courses but after trying a couple of times, I feel you have lost interest in Biology subject itself. May be this is the reason you have chosen to do an MBA?

Now please be calm, composed and try doing these following things.
1. Do the personality assessment available on this website to check whether MBA course is right for you.
2. Next sit down in a silent place and think of some person who inspired you the most, and from what field he/she is from. Try knowing about their career success path like how they started in that field and what made them to achieve success.
3. Next think what you want to become in future, where you want to work, and with whom you want to work. Do you like working at schools/ colleges/ corporate? And as what?
4. Plot a career vision graph. In this say where you want to be in five years from now.
5. Finally see what you can do next to achieve that goal. Example, if your goal is studying an MBA (as you aspire now) then start looking out for top B-Schools, their eligibility criteria to get admitted. Do preparations for entrance test like CAT, MAT, XAT and prepare vigorously. You can prepare right from now in fact. Start networking with fellow students who are aspiring to do an MBA like you. Do group study with them and work out on test papers in groups. Each of you may get motivated from each others success. You will feel relaxed once you get on with this.

Lastly, don't feel upset. You are actually not satisfied with the way your medical entrance tests went by. But tap on your shoulders and appreciate yourself for giving three attempts. That shows your determination. If I were you, I know I wouldn't have had that courage to try for second attempt. You are sportive, excellent! Keep up with this attitude and it will lead you to success one day. If you require more help about the MBA and admission process, please write back and I am very happy to help you.

My best wishes to you.
