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

Sahil: I am good with my technical skills but lacking in communication skills which play a very important role in any Interview. I tried to improve it, but I wasn’t able to convert any other applied colleges. Also my CAT exam didn’t go as per my expectations as I messed it up in the DILR section.

Pro Tips: Always try to be calm, as it is very important during exams. If you are weak at something, try to grow by practising it a lot. Also give lots of mock interviews before going for the actual one.
