2.96 lakh students had appeared for the test of which only 11 have passed with top percentile marks. The test is conducted by IIMs on rotation basis and this time, it was handled by IIM Kolkata during November 2018.

As preparation for the exam, Niranjan first noted down his weak points and then proceeded to studying the subjects. He then set aside time schedule for studies and time management for the examination. He used to study for two to three hours daily.
Ecstatic of his performance, Niranjan said his degree education will come to an end in five to six months. However, he is yet to decide on continuing with technical education or choosing management education.
