After bouts of uncertainty and a nerve-racking preparation journey for MBA aspirants, done remotely and at home, The Common Admission Test (CAT 2020) has been successfully conducted last month on the 29th of November. Aspirants tend to either stress too much or get complacent after the scores are out. The entrance exams are not the ultimate deciding factor. Each college has its own and diverse selection criterion.
For instance, K J Somaiya Institute of Management has a comprehensive approach when it comes to selecting the right candidate. The cut-off criteria is of primary importance, however, another significant criterion is the GDPI round, where the aspirant stands a chance to make a great impact and increase their chances of selection.

Peer Learning builds shared wisdom where the sole purpose is not just idea generation but gaining mutual experiences and gathering knowledge. The committee work helps in peer learning. It not only provides a platform to share mutually decided ideas but also promotes teamwork and accountability.
The universal is to grow together and develop each other’s learning curve by building trust and camaraderie. Being part of a committee not only makes you responsible but also develops team building and managerial skills. Teamwork is an art something one needs to learn for MBA and corporate life. Working in a committee and managing work along with studies helps you to excel in multi-tasking and time management. Peer learning has both aspects – social as well as professional. Nonetheless, the virtual atmosphere due to the global pandemic has not hampered the binding forces of peer learning but has rather enabled us to brainstorm and search for new modes to connect better and grow together.
