How A Hotelier With Weak Quant Cracked CAT 2020 | CAT 2021 Preparation Strategy For Non-Engineers

Here is a statistic for you: of the total number of aspirants who attempt the CAT exam, less than 4 percent end up getting admission to one of the twenty IIMs in the country.

So does that make it impossible for non-engineers out of touch with quant to crack CAT? Absolutely not, and here is a shining example of it in the form of a hotel management graduate with no background in mathematics who cracked CAT 2020 and got shortlisted by top business schools, including IIM Kozhikode.
