Bengaluru: Govind Balasubramanian emerged as the state topper in the recently declared Common Admission Test (CAT) by securing a perfect 100 percentile in his third attempt.
He hails from Kerala and is working as a data scientist in a private firm in the city.
“My dream is to do an MBA at IIMB. I had scored 100 percentile in the CAT-2022 earlier. But I did not get a seat in IIMB in the viva. So, I attempted and scored 99.97 percentile last year. This year again, I tried my luck and scored 100 percentile. This time, I am confident of getting into IIMB or IIMA,” Govind said.
He studied Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from BITS Pilani K K Birla Goa campus and graduated in 2023.
“Since childhood, I have interest in Maths and logical questions. I scored high in Maths. I preferred logical reasoning over any other subject in this examination. My maths and logical reasoning are very strong. It helped me to get 100 percentile,” he explained.
