Students Speak
At Studysid, we believe that the real measure for any coaching class’ success is what their students have to say about them. Career Launcher alumni had this to say about the coaching institute.
“Currently a third-year student of Economics Honours at Lady Shri Ram College, I joined CL’s PDPP programme in January for interview preparation after the calls were out. These three months were a process of self-discovery and motivation. Clueless, pessimistic, diffident, etc. would be the adjectives I would use for the girl who came in initially. I still remember my first mock interview, I didn’t know what my strengths and weaknesses, why I wanted to do an MBA, who I am as a person, etc. Gautam Bawa sir helped me discover answers to these questions and made me realise that there is a difference between the girl who I thought I was and the person who I actually am,” said Saumya Porwal, a CAT’16 Student who managed to convert IIM A, B, and K.
Antriksh Borkar, currently in JBIMS, said, “I was born and brought up in small towns and naturally, I had to fight for everything. The fact that nothing came easy developed the ‘never give up’ trait. Studying at a premier B-school was always my dream. So I embarked on the thrilling journey in July 2016. Joining CL’s distance program was an obvious choice considering its renowned faculty. I’d like to thank all the mentors at CL, especially Sreeni sir, who guided me throughout the interview process. The blood, sweat, and tears were fruitful at the end, thanks to PDP Preparation!”
