An engineering grad of the state has achieved an envious feat. He has managed to make it to the final list of five IIMs in the country. Meet Krunal Patel of Bharuch. He has the privilege of taking admission to any of the IIMs at Bangalore, Indore, Lucknow, Kolkata and Kozhikode.Krunal said he would take admission to IIM, Bangalore.
“I had decided to take admission in one of the three IIMs at ABC (Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Kolkata, erstwhile Calcutta). “I failed to make it to the final list of IIM-A. Thus, it was a toss-up between the premier B-schools at Kolkata and Bangalore. But after talking to seniors, I have made up my mind to pursue my management degree from IIM, Bangalore.”
Sharing his experience during the interviews at different IIMs, Krunal said: “The focus was on the background of candidates at IIM, Bangalore. In the other institutions, general knowledge and current affairs were given more importance.”Krunal had once aspired to be a cricketer. He represented the district cricket team also. But thereafter, studies became his priority.
After pursuing his degree in engineering from Nirma University, he is now raring to be a management guru.Three students from Ahmedabad have made it to the final merit list of IIM, Kolkata. They are Yogiraj Khare, Pratik Vijayvargiya and Milap Maru.
