Prep Kit For Your B-School Journey

From setting your aim on a b-school to standing at its gates; it’s a long & winding road. It all starts with juggling between quant., verbal, LR/DI & writing daily mock papers to the actual test day.

What matters is your past academics, your b-school brand, and your academic profile. And look, we know you can’t change your past but you can definitely turn the tables around and Summer Placements are the last chance to do that.

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. The acceptance rate reduces further when you look at only at IIMs ABCLIK, which implies that Harvard Business School has a greater acceptance rate than the top six IIMs. With such degree of competition, it doesn't help matters if you have been out of touch with quantitative problem solving for many years due to your non-engineering background. 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.
