Key Takeaways:
1. Anyone who wants to get into IIT has to start planning right from class 10. Unfortunately, that is the reality.
2. That’s what is critical if you’re going to do a Master’s or Ph.D., that you may not have good scores across the board, but at least you need to have one or two areas in which you’re interested.
3. A great GPA does not necessarily denote expertise. Interest and motivation help you succeed.
4. Talk to seniors at b-school to understand what career choices are available to you.
5. Financial services is no longer an expanding industry.
6. You don’t consume financial products; Financial products help the production of products which you’ll eventually consume.
7. People make a choice about where they can be placed; not just what they like.
