Krishna Jadwani, 99.88 percentile rankThird year BBA student, Nirma University

"I clubbed my strategic hard work to get the best of luck. When 3 lakh students were appearing for the exam, I knew I had to make the most of each second. I read, identified my weaker areas and got mentoring for it. I have been good at Maths but verbal is where I had to work the most despite being good in English. I read more and practiced more by studying GMAT patterns. I am aiming to get into the top IIMs."
