It is not common for business schools or the Common Admission Test (CAT) to have a specific column to mention dropout cases. However, if a question about a previous dropout experience in IIM Raipur were to come up during an interview, it is important to be honest and transparent about the reasons for the decision.
It would be appropriate to explain that the decision to drop out was a result of not thoroughly researching and exploring one's interests before committing to the program. It would also be important to acknowledge any personal factors, such as not being physically, mentally, or otherwise prepared, that may have contributed to the decision. It is important to present the dropout experience as a valuable learning opportunity and to demonstrate the steps taken to ensure that the same mistakes are not repeated in the future.
It would be appropriate to explain that after leaving the program, the individual took the time to explore their interests and make sure that they were fully committed to pursuing an MBA before applying again.
