Collegedunia Team: What was the reason for you not converting other colleges?

Ayush: I had converted almost all the colleges from where I got the call. But being GEM I didn't get calls from ToP 5 IIM and NITIE. And the reason is less CAT percentile. I should have appeared in enough mocks before the final Exam. As the mocks play a very important role in the CAT Exams.
