Extempore speech tests your confidence

My parents were worried on my stammering but doctors advised that it is just a habit and would be cured with passage of time. But during schooling I started to hide my unsocial habit. The more I was hiding, it was getting more obvious. Today being adult it is a sort of fear psychosis in my mind that I won’t be able to speak well.

I felt happy and encouraged that I got a call from one of new IIMs but I was very much worried to face extempore speech test. I might not speak well and I may be rejected because of shear fact that a manger must be very good in communication. Those were my repeated sentences which I was murmuring within me.

To my pleasant surprise when selection penal told me that you are through and are eligible for PI, I was thrilled. 

Later I realized that my habit was getting worsened with psychology of perceiving unnecessary fear. I was told that in Extempore Speech they judge your confidence and in spite of shortcomings I was able to touch the heart of my audience with logical presentation.  I spoke from my heart with one single focus to enthrall my audience with a take away as message on Inefficiency. 

Over a period of time now I am almost perfect in communication. Thanks to my regained communication power which I reinvented during my stay at IIM.

 

It would be worthwhile to know that few big personalities also overcame this problem like: Winston Churchill, Newton, Aristotle and present day famous Jack Welsh, Tiger Woods and Hrithik Roshan.

Lesson of my story is that we must not be afraid of any physical shortcomings as MBA education leads you to overcome any hurdle and you become professional. 

Extempore speech is test to judge confidence level, mental agility and overall vision.

I can’t compete CAT

Both Superiority and Inferiority complexes are bad. Having Complexes indirectly reflects attitudinal problems.  Nothing is so big that can’t be achieved and nothing is so small which can be left.

Difference between successful and unsuccessful is that successful people worked on their failures whereas others have left attempts.  Having perseverance is another big quality of successful people.

CAT looks very tough because of fierce competition for lesser seats at IIMs. Accuracy, Time & speed are the base to remove fear psychosis for attempting CAT.

Aerodynamically honey bee can’t fly but due to repeated attempts again and again she flies. 

Practice and practice is the only panacea to crack CAT. If preparation is being done with focused aim then achieving mission may not be difficult.

Doing SWOT for each hurdle changes attitude and failures can be managed and converted to successes. 

Positive approach with obsession of achieving goal to succeed in CAT must change the inner belief that I can compete for CAT.

GK is not a section but boosts your confidence to crack CAT 2012

CAT aspirants passionately prepare for four sections but another hidden part of General awareness or GK sometimes is given back seat. 

Definitely GK is not a section in CAT but with reading newspapers and listing to news feature programs on radio of evening news at AIR and watching business channels will help to understand economic matters, political scenario, sports updates, national and international issues. 

With General Awareness you gain a positive momentum and energy which proves to be motivational and your confidence level remains high.

GK can’t be mugged up or practiced but it has to be a natural way of daily routine to be well versed with current affairs. It’s a reading habit of books beyond text books as that will yield you good results. 

After having written CAT there will be  very important and crucial tests still left over wherein General Awareness is much more required when you go for extempore speech, written ability test and finally for GD & PI. 

GK is a base to crack CAT 2012 without syllabus.

I wish to join IIM only

Day dreaming is not a crime today.  It is only when you dream high you meet obstacles which need to be crossed.  Like many aspirants I too wish to join IIM only.

Having gathered information that thirteen IIMs will be opening admissions in coming October 2012, I feel enthusiastic to take CAT exam which is prerequisite for admission to IIM. 

IIMs are the most prestigious Management Institutes in India and are imparting education on Management theory and its practices.  Contextual teaching with great infrastructure, accessibility to learning resource centers all time during the year, case studies, aura of professionalism and top of all guest lecturers from top honchos of the Industry makes IIMs enviable Institutes.

With admission in any of IIMs, it is ensured and expected that  discipline, Management Jurisprudence, presentation and communication skills, Interpersonal skills, management of time,  management of stress, management of failures and confidence level to take decisions at crucial junctures must have been learnt and all must have become DNA of  a future manager. 

With a goal to accomplish my dream I have started preparation for CAT 2012.

Why WAT or Written Ability Test in IIMs?

In all businesses, writing proposals is the key to market the brand. The way proposal is written that reflects the mind set of writer and command on communication. Customer loves to be told about USPs of brand directly in simple terms that too in a précised way. 

Reasons are similar to judge the writing power of future manager so that it can be judged whether aspirant is capable of expressing thoughts in sentences which can be understood the same way as per the assigned topic.

WAT is a test which you would be competing after CAT 2012 written exam in new IIMs. Writing skills, flair for writing, hand writing, expressions as per likes of audience, domain knowledge, maintaining interest and curiosity are key factors in WAT.

WAT is being conducted in new IIMs instead of GD so it is very crucial to understand that with this test thoughtful expressions based on facts will be tested logically. 

Good hard work on practice with ‘out of box topics’ will lead you to think and express in your writing to succeed in WAT.
