Why you have horrible academics? What extracurricular activities were you involved in at your college? Even after preparing for one full year you couldn't get into IIT.

Why did you choose IT in engineering? And why you want to do MBA now? Why you want to get into IIM Indore?

So tell me what did you do in extra curricular activities? Your current salary is good. Why do you want to leave it? Did you give the same answer at IIMB? How was your IIMB interview? Why do you even want to come to IIMI if you have other calls?
