Saathwik Kolluru, during his final year of Civil Engineering at IIT Bombay, decided to give CAT a chance. And guess what? He got 99.99%ile in his first attempt and converted IIM Calcutta. How did he manage to do that? Was it pure intellect, or a product of well-thought strategy? Get to know more about that in today’s video.  

  Saathwik, an engineering graduate from IIT Bombay, started developing an interest in finance during his internships at IndusInd Bank and Nomura. So, he decided to prepare for CAT and get admission in the “mecca of finance”, IIM Calcutta. He started preparing for CAT along with his final year at IIT Bombay and scored a whopping 99:99%ile. Watch this video to learn about his strategy.

Key Takeaways:
1) Set your target b-school and then start your prep.
2) RC’s fetch more marks than VA. Focus on that first.
3) Reading speed is really important for cracking the VA-RC section. It's important to understand the author's intention.
4) Read up on all kinds of topics and not just your field of interest.
5) Dedicate 4 to 5 hours analysing their mocks.
7) It is important to use the same strategy that you developed in your mocks.
