Anna Shajee, a CAT 99.93 percentiler, and Yash Madhani, a CAT 99.96 percentiler, are students of IIM Indore. They both worked on their weak areas to perfect their CAT scores and ultimately aced the exam!
Experiential learning is a vital component of management education. The first-hand experience gained, proves to be a better learning tool than the conventional textbooks and notes. Since the students of B-schools are all potential managers who would be handling day-to-day activities and complexities of a company, this method is particularly useful to them. The topics can also be better explained to the students, by using such relevant and live examples.
What makes a good marketeer? Is it just about STP and the 4 Ps? Well, these concepts indeed form the crux of marketing, but one can't do it without understanding customers.

The exploding numbers of engineers graduating annually in India are in a problem whether to pursue MBA. Majority of the MBA aspirants land up in b-schools because of either the low quality of engineering curriculum which led to the loss in interest in technical subjects or the lack of enough engineering jobs in India that requires them to consider for post-graduation. But they don’t have the desire to pursue Masters in Technology and thus, find themselves writing the cat exam. Quite many a times peer pressure and the stereotype that MBA graduates are paid more than the engineers also shape their decision to opt for MBA.

Hi ! I am Amir Raza from Kota, Rajasthan. I did my B.Tech in Computer Engineering from Aligarh Muslim University. I was one of the many engineers who decided to opt for MBA and hence wrote CAT'16 in my final year. I scored a whopping 99.7 %le in CAT VARC section which escalated my score to 96.15 %le overall, despite scoring just around 80 and 85 percentiles in LRDI and Quant sections respectively. As a GEM Fresher, I was able to get calls from the new IIM's and IIT Roorkee. However, due to the lack of work experience and not so great academics, I could finally convert only IIM Sambalpur and IIT Roorkee then. General English section (27.5/40) once again proved to be my saviour in my first attempt at SNAP when I was able to manage a 98.2134 %le overall with single digits score in LR and GK ( 4 and 7.5 respectively PS- no sectional cutoff in SNAP ) and an average score in Quant.
