The On-Going Journey Of An Average Engineer In The World Of CAT

I don't write. I hardly ever did. The only times I had ever written apart from taking notes or scribbling quant was when I was in my first relationship. (I know! Cliché).

Like most of my batchmates, I am an engineer. Unlike most of my batch-mates however, I am not from an IIT or an NIT, and so, I do not have seniors and peers who could help me when I was preparing. At IIM Calcutta, we live by the motto, “We Leave No One Behind”. I hope, this article helps everyone who decides to go down the CAT route.
