Hardik Vijay is currently studying in IIM Bangalore in the 2020 batch.  He did Civil Engineering from IIT Kanpur with CPI 8.7. Hardik had 10 CGPA in class 10th and had 85.6% percent in 12th Standard from Rajasthan Board. Post engineering, he worked for 2 years in Citicorp. In his second CAT attempt i.e. CAT 2019, Hardik scored 210.18 marks  with 99.96 percentile | VARC, 77.54, 99.87, DILR, 62.70, 99.81, QA, 69.94, 99.59. Here is how Hardik managed to ace CAT 2019 along with his office hours.

There are many aspirants who will attempt for the second (or even third or fourth) time. What'd be your advice to them?
My advice would be to analyze your last year’s paper as diligently as possible and make sure that during every mock you keep in mind those mistakes and not to make them. And try to improve even by a small bit in every mock test
