While pursuing my graduation in electronics engineering,I had planned to pursue MTech. as a natural career progression. I was taking regular classes for GATE and was dedicatedly studying for the same. It was during the winter of 2019 that I came to know about CAT Examinations. When I was researching the exam structure and its subsequent syllabus, the LRDI section really fascinated me. I felt it was a section that was tailor-made for me and played to my strengths. I loved interpreting data and finding logical conclusions right from my childhood. I felt as if the entire CAT paper was a check of one's logical reasoning. During the lockdown of 2020, I decided to take the gamble of completely shifting my focus to CAT from GATE. I heard warnings from people around me suggesting to not swap with so little time remaining for CAT but I was very confident of my abilities and strengths. It is the sheer belief in one's own potential that allows an individual to take risks.

My CAT 2021 score is 99.62 percentile(VARC-99.63,DILR-98.89,QA-97.1). I also got 99.53 percentile in XAT 2021. I started my half-hearted preparation from around November 2019 and started preparing seriously from April 2020 given the amount of time due to Covid. At first, just like any other non-engineer, I dreaded QA. I still remember my first mock QA percentile which was just 52.2. My VARC was decent given I am an avid reader and my DILR was at a moderate level.
