Meet Rohan. Like many high school students, he dreamt of building a successful career in business. He had always been fascinated by the world of finance, entrepreneurship, and how companies make strategic decisions. When it was time to decide his next steps after high school, the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) seemed like the perfect path.

But first, there was one major challenge in front of him—the BBA entrance exams. These exams were the key to getting into a reputed institutions, where Rohan knew he would find the tools to bring his business dreams to life.

The journey ahead wasn't going to be easy, but Rohan was determined. This is the story of how he prepared and overcame every hurdle on his way to securing admission at one of India’s top business schools.

Chapter 1: The First Step—Understanding the Battle Ahead

Rohan's first move was to understand the battlefield—he needed to know exactly what the entrance exam was going to test. After some research, he learned that most BBA exams focus on Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, English Language, and General Awareness. He realized that success wasn’t just about how hard he studied, but also about how smartly he prepared.

He made a list of topics:

1.Quantitative Aptitude: 

Math had never been his favorite, but he was determined to improve his skills in areas like arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data interpretation.

2. Logical Reasoning: 

This seemed more like solving puzzles, and Rohan always enjoyed a good mental challenge. He was sure of his ability to think critically and solve problems.

3. English Language:

With his love for reading, he knew he could ace grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, and verbal ability.

4. General Awareness

Here, he needed to brush up on current events, especially in the business world.

With the battlefield in view, Rohan was ready to march forward

Chapter 2: The Strategy—A Plan to Conquer

Rohan knew that he needed a plan. Without a structured approach, preparing for the entrance exams could easily turn into chaos. So, he sat down one weekend and drew up a schedule.

"Two hours of math every morning, followed by one hour of reasoning," he thought. Evenings would be reserved for English and, before bed, he'd read business news and current events to sharpen his General Awareness.

He knew either he could study everything everyday or segregate them week wise. 

In that case, A balanced plan might look like this:

• Week 1-2: Focus on Quantitative Aptitude and Logical Reasoning.

• Week 3: Strengthen English skills and enhance vocabulary.

• Week 4-5: Dive into General Awareness and practice mock tests

Week after week, Rohan stuck to this plan. He made sure to take regular breaks, aware that burning out too soon would only hurt his chances.

But even with all this planning, there was something missing.
 

Chapter 3: The Trials—Mock Tests and Reality Checks

It wasn’t until Rohan took his first mock test that he realized how much more there was to learn. He finished the test, looked at his scores, and felt a bit disheartened. But instead of giving up, Rohan turned his defeat into fuel for improvement.

"Mock tests aren’t about getting it perfect the first time," he reminded himself. They were about finding weaknesses, which would allow him to adjust his strategy. His problem areas? Time management and General Awareness.

He decided to allocate more time to current events—reading newspapers and watching interviews of business leaders. He also focused on solving mock tests in a time-bound manner. Gradually, he saw his scores improve. It was working.
 

Chapter 4: The Climb—Facing Doubts and Pushing Forward

As the exam date approached, self-doubt started creeping in. Would he be able to make it? What if all this effort wasn’t enough?

But then Rohan remembered something his mentor once told him: “Exams like these are as much a mental game as they are academic. Stay calm, believe in yourself, and keep moving forward.”

So, Rohan started doing breathing exercises every morning. He balanced his study schedule with physical activity and breaks, making sure his mind stayed sharp.
 

Chapter 5: The Summit—Exam Day

Finally, the day of the exam arrived. Rohan felt nervous but prepared. He reminded himself of all the hours of effort he had put in—the mock tests, the study sessions, and all the sleepless nights.

When the exam began, Rohan found himself in the zone. Quantitative Aptitude? Check. Logical Reasoning? It felt like a breeze. English Language? He sailed through the questions. By the time he reached the General Awareness section, he was calm and focused, recalling all those news articles and discussions he'd followed.

When he finished the exam, he felt a sense of relief. No matter the result, he had given it his best shot.

Chapter 6: Victory—A Future at UPES

A few weeks later, the results were out. Rohan could hardly believe his eyes when he saw his score—he had made it! He had secured admission at the UPES School of Business, the institution he had worked so hard to join.

Walking into the UPES campus on his first day, Rohan felt a sense of accomplishment. This was just the beginning, but he knew he was on the right path.
