8/7/9 profile (currently in 6th sem) I dreamt of getting into iit couldn't prepare well for jee in 11-12 took drop and another one (for nit) after 2 years of drop landed in west bengal government college electrical branch, I am in my 6th sem now, during my 5th sem on 2nd week of February this year gave gate and got a 1xx rank, I am also thinking of giving CFA as I always loved financial markets built a project too even being a ee student, BUT I HAVE FREAKING 2 YEARS GAP AFTER 12th starting now till my 8th sem I am thinking of giving the cat exam, will I be able to convert blacki because thanks to this sub , I found the interviewer looks for spikes my_qualifications
