It Took Me Four Attempts To Score 99.33 %ile In CAT 2020 || Duppala Harsha

Avoiding a mistake or learning from a mistake can be a key to success. "Never Give Up" has always been my prime motto. I was brought up in Srikakulam of Andhra Pradesh. I joined NIT Patna in 2014 in Electrical Engineering. Despite my low grades (6.75 CGPA in B.Tech), I was part of many extra-curricular clubs and also worked as Coordinator for Fest and Placement Cell. One of my seniors helped me realize that I possess few skills which helped me get into these positions. I decided to make the best use of those skills and realized that pursuing an MBA would help me with it.

A CA’s Ride To The 99th Percentile | Manas Sathe, CAT 2020

My MBA goal has been a long-coveted dream. My father is a proud alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad, and I grew up hearing countless stories about his wonderful time there. I also attended his batch’s alumni reunion at IIM A, saw the beautiful campus and learned first-hand about the outstanding achievements that its alumni demonstrate. I also saw that the campus had a dedicated room for music, a dear passion of mine. I left inspired and decided that I MUST pursue MBA too. While my motivations may have changed over time, the dream still lives on.

Should You Quit Your Job To Prepare For CAT This Year? Perspective From A 99 Percentiler Who Quit His Job

Irrespective of where you stay or what you do, 2020 was an unusual year for everyone. I am no different. I was due to complete three years with my organization. Wanting to expand my career path and explore more opportunities, I began toying with the idea of doing an MBA just as the lockdown was imposed. Being a hotel management graduate, I knew that the preparation process would not be a bed of roses. To add to that, I had performed poorly in maths throughout my school life and was afraid of anything to do with numbers.

“People Ignore Me But I Can Be The Game Changer” – Yours Truly, Verbal Section

The verbal section is usually taken very lightly. People tend to focus more on quants and DI & LR and think the verbal can be handled easily. But there is one thing which most of us forget. Verbal can’t get into your head in one day or even one month. It is a habit, it has to be made a habit. As I have always said, CAT is all about consistency and the Verbal section is a testament to that.
