DILR has always been a tricky section. It is "The Game Changer". Often people are confused about which caselets to solve, how much time should one invest in each caselet, etc. Here are the best resources from current students in top management institutes that will help you in cracking the DILR section in CAT 2020:
The CAT 2020 exam is now just a month away. Now is the time that you need to start thinking about the strategy that you want to adopt for the actual exam on the 29th of November. How are you going to attempt the Quantitative Aptitude section? How will you maximise your score in this section? How will you adapt to the new CAT 2020 paper pattern? These are all questions you need to start finding solid answers to, and we're here to help you find them!
Hi! It’s the #onelastmonth and I know how anxious you must be feeling. I have been there last year and while everything was normal, there was still so much stress and with COVID and new patterns etc this time, I can completely understand if you’re feeling overwhelmed or worried about your CAT exam.
Although the CAT pattern has changed, the one thing that would not change is a golden mantra that every CAT aspirant should be aware of if not already. Without beating about the bush, here it goes: "1-2 questions in about 2-3 sets can be cracked without solving the entire problem set." This simple trick and an enhanced concentration helped me raise my score from an 84.1%ile in CAT 2018 to a 99.5%ile in CAT 2019 in the DI/LR section.
Shirin Nizar is a mechanical engineer, born and bred in the city of the 3C's Thalassery, Kerala. He did his 14 years of schooling and scored 9.6 in his X and 82.6% in XII. He also completed his 4 years of bachelor's from Thalassery with a CGPA of 7.41. A 2019 pass out, he didn't take up any job offers as he wanted to give his everything towards CAT because he knew this would be a life-changer for him. Since he realized that the potential would be massive, the experience and exposure from a top b-school would be immense, and so he gave a good 4 months to CAT and finally got 99.45%ile and calls from all the IIMs except B. And presently, Shirin is studying at FMS. Here is the entire journey of Shirin how he was able to get 99.45%ile(VARC, 77.55, 99.88%ile | DILR, 52.93, 99.15%ile | QA, 38.28, 92.74%ile|)in the CAT exam.
2020 is definitely the most unexpected year. Everything has changed – including the examination pattern. And while it is a relief for some, some others are tensed because of the exam. There are a lot of uncertainties that you’ll have while you’re preparing for CAT. I definitely did, especially when 2-3 mock tests didn’t go well consecutively. But you have to remember in these times why did you start preparing at all. Here are some things I used to do to keep myself motivated and mentally healthy while preparing for CAT:
Do you think this is the right time to do an MBA? Do you think b schools are well equipped to provide a healthy and safe environment to their students in these times of pandemic? To clear all those doubts, we spoke to Dr. Ranjan Banerjee, the dean at SP Jain Institute of Management Research (SPJIMR). In this video, Dr. Banerjee talks about the current scenario in the world of education, and how b schools can use this as an opportunity to explore prospects. Dr. Banerjee addresses the most important query that students and aspirants like you have right now: Is it the right time to do an MBA? He speaks of the pros and cons of it, and how b schools like SPJIMR are preparing their campus to ensure that students get the best experience. He then speaks of the SPJIMR selection process, and how they value a candidate’s profile and experience more than their CAT percentile. He even gives tips on how a candidate with a weaker profile can make it to a top b school.
This is the time when you need to give your best and leave the rest. If you haven’t been able to score well in your mock tests, the first thing you need to do is – DO NOT PANIC. Mock tests are extremely important in any competitive exam and CAT is no different. So here’s what you can do in your mock tests for the last month of your CAT Preparation:
