I was very sad and literally gasping for breath at the end. He asked me why I was so sad and grasping for breath even though I came in with excitement and a smile on my face.

So guys it is confirmed I am not getting IIM Indore and he consulted with me for a minute why I was so sad.

Overall the flow of the interview seemed like they expected me to know the science behind everything in Surat as well as 10th.

Ps: I have gotten into TAPMI IPM, NMIMS Mumbai BBA. I am also sure to get into IIFT and Nirma. I just hope I can clear Ranchi Interview or get admission into IIM Bodhgaya or some top Delhi University North Campus College 🙏
