Why Are Current Affairs Asked In The WAT-PI Process?

Current Affairs is a very important section in a GD-PI-WAT process. Current affairs topics can be asked in GD & WAT, where you have to discuss with other participants or write a small article on it. Though only a few questions are asked from the candidate during the interview, it tells a lot about the candidate. Also, many times current affairs are asked from candidates with low or no work experience. So, when an interviewer asks a question related to current affairs, his/her motive is to identify whether the candidate has knowledge about his/her surroundings and world affairs or not. After analyzing your knowledge on current affairs, the interviewer moves to another aspect of current affairs, i.e., “ What is your opinion about it?” because till now, you were stating facts, and now the interviewer wants to know about how you perceive the world around you. They want to know your thought process.

CAT or XAT Didn't Go Well? You Can Still Get Into A Top B-School

Now that CAT results are out and XAT results are soon to be released, it's time to start planning your next step towards your dream business school. While some institutes have begun releasing their shortlists, a few others have further rounds of selection to shortlist only the most suitable candidates. One such institute is MICA, which will be conducting MICAT 2 on the 30th of January in 2021. MICA, also known as the 'Mecca of Marketing', is one of the few leading business schools that accepts both CAT and XAT scores. Moreover, even candidates with less than a 90th percentile score in CAT or XAT can apply to MICA's prestigious PGDM-C and/or PGDM program. However, candidates must also appear for at least one of the two MICAT exams conducted to be eligible for selection. So how exactly does one crack an exam like MICAT? How is it different from the likes of CAT, XAT, NMAT, SNAP, IIFT and other exams? What additional syllabus would you need to cover to get a good score? What is a good overall exam strategy? How do you prepare for the GK section of the test? To help you answer these questions and come up with a solid strategy for MICAT 2, we bring to you 'Road To MICA', a MICAT crash course conducted by a very recent graduate of MICA's renowned PGDM-C program. This MICAT crash course will include live sessions with Tanya Shridhar (MICA, Class of 2020), who will guide you through a solid strategy to crack MICAT. Your instructor will take you through section-wise strategies and overall preparation and test-taking strategies, including tips to attempt the intimidating Psychometric Test. MICAT 2 is now just around the corner, and if you're serious about making it to a top-ranked business school despite a disappointing CAT or XAT performance, this is the crash course you need right now! So sign-up, and we'll see you soon in our first session!
