An IIT Hyderabad alumnus, Vivekananda Pasam, rejects an Amazon offer and pursues competitive exams that eventually lead him to IIM Ahmedabad. The reports say he clears UPSC Prelims after multiple attempts, with NDTV adding that he clears it three times.
After earlier setbacks, Times of India states he appears in three attempts but does not make the final selection. The sources also describe that he later clears SSC CGL. With limited preparation time for the next exam, he scores a 99.92 percentile in CAT after about 45 days of preparation, securing admission to IIM Ahmedabad, according to both outlets.
While NDTV focuses on the UPSC Prelims clears and the CAT preparation timeline, Times of India highlights the broader pattern of missed selections and additional exam outcomes. Both accounts present a similar timeline from IIT Hyderabad and an initial corporate offer, to later success in CAT that results in entry to IIM Ahmedabad.
