IMI GAP YEAR CLARIFICATION

General Discussion :illuminati:

NEED HELP👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

I completed my BSc in Economics in August 2023. After graduation, my initial plan was to appear for CUET and pursue an MSc in Economics. However, my long-term goal is to start my own business, for which I believe an MBA is more suitable than an MSc. Since an MBA involves significant financial investment, it was not a decision I could take on a whim, as I come from a middle-class family. Due to this and the need for my family’s approval, I could not appear for CAT 2023.

After detailed discussions, once my parents were comfortable with the financial commitment, I appeared for CAT 2024, where I scored 84 percentile, and later decided to reattempt to improve my performance.

During this gap period, I remained actively engaged. I served with an NGO for six months, where I worked on community initiatives. I have also been continuously teaching my house help’s children and a few children in my society without pay. In addition, I completed a three-month internship in digital marketing, which helped me gain practical exposure.

Is this fine? I can provide all proofs and i am not really making anything up.
