Rajkot's Vyom makes it to IIM-B on third attempt
1 2 3 Ahmedabad: What happens when you score consistently above the 99th percentile, receive call letters from almost all IIMs, but fail to convert it into admission to your dream IIM? Some may move on or accept what's on offer, but not Vyom Vasavada. This Rajkot lad set his eyes on IIM Bangalore (IIM-B) as his dream destination and held on to his dream. In the third attempt, he again scored marks that put him into the 99.93rd percentile and got him on the first merit list! "It was always the dream. The kind of leadership culture, academic excellence, and peer learning it fosters, I knew I wanted to be part of this environment," Vyom told TOI from the IIM-B campus. Vyom completed his BTech in mechanical engineering from Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU) in Gandhinagar. He later pursued an MTech in aerospace engineering from IIT Bombay. After completing the course in 2021, he joined HCL Technologies and later worked with a leading multinational brand in Bengaluru.

"I was vying to lead, innovate, and make strategic decisions that shape the future. I thus gravitated towards an MBA," said Vyom. He appeared in the Common Admission Test (CAT) in 2022 when he was among the students who scored in the 99.85th percentile. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Doutor: Reverter encolhimento muscular após os 50 depende deste hábito noturno Revista do Homem Saiba Mais Undo Despite the impressive score, he could not make it to the top. Undeterred, he prepared for CAT again in 2023 and secured a position in the 99.94th percentile. On the waitlist for IIM-B, he missed out by just seven positions. But the third time was the charm when he made it to his dream B-school. Satish Kumar, Vyom's mentor in his journey for CAT, said that IIM-B not only rewards 2-3 years of work experience but also gives a multiplier score ranging from 0.25 to 2 based on the quality of work experience that helped Vyom secure the seat. "It can be seen as a combination of his perseverance, academic profile, and professional background," he added. Satish Kumar, Vyom's mentor added that for the category Vyom belonged to – general, engineering, male, popularly known as GEM – the competition is stiff. Securing a spot for GEM at top IIMs is an uphill task given the volume of high-performing aspirants and limited seats, he added. "I always believed I could do it—it was just a matter of when," said Vyom, adding that his two attempts also helped him prepare better. "I would tell other aspirants not to lose heart and prepare with much more conviction and always learn from mistakes." He wishes to work for a few years after graduation before branching out on his own to fulfil his entrepreneurial ambitions.

114 structures at Shakkar Talab razed
Indore: In a large-scale operation, Khandwa Municipal Corporation and district administration, backed by a substantial police force, demolished 114 homes and shops located on the banks of Shakkar Talab on Thursday. According to the administration, approximately 137 illegal structures encroached upon over 2.5 acres of Shakkar Talab's catchment area in the heart of Khandwa city. The joint operation by the municipal corporation and district administration commenced at around 6 AM on Thursday. Additional SP Mahendra Tarnekar said that a team of 500 personnel, including 400 police officers, was deployed to manage any unforeseen situations. An additional company of the State Force India (SFI) was also called to the scene. The demolition involved 15 earthmoving machines and over 10 dumpers. The area was cordoned off with a three-layer barricade to ensure security during the drive. During the five-hour long demolition drive, 114 houses and shops were completely razed. Police had a backup plan in place for security during the anti-encroachment drive, with vehicles like Vyom, Vajra, tear gas units, patrolling vehicles and jail vehicles, along with police station jeeps, present at the site. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Keep Your Home Efficient with This Plug-In elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Learn More Undo The entire operation was monitored by drone cameras. ADM Kashiram Badaule confirmed that actions were taken upon 114 structures, while 26 houses were temporarily spared due to stay orders from the court. These specific houses have been identified and marked accordingly. Residents of the settlement near Shakkar Talab, which they claim has existed for many years, expressed shock, stating that authorities arrived suddenly while families, including women and children, were still asleep. The team, accompanied by heavy machinery, reportedly asked people to vacate their homes immediately. Panicked residents scrambled to gather their belongings, only to see their houses being reduced to rubble shortly thereafter. However, officials maintained that the encroachers received notices from the municipal corporation for five months. They added that a 24-hour window was given on Tuesday for voluntary removal of structures. By Wednesday, some residents indeed shifted their belongings. On Wednesday evening, SP Manoj Rai, SDM Bajrang Bahadur and municipal commissioner Priyanka Rajawat visited the area to assess the extent of illegal constructions and encroachments. Prior to the action, a meeting was held at the municipal corporation where 24 officials were assigned responsibility for the drive, and over 100 municipal employees were also put on duty.
