What To Do After CAT?

With the official CAT 2020 answer keys and response sheets out, people have already started calculating their chances of getting a call from their favorite B-School. They have been as detailed as they can be in their analyses. I've even seen posts in different forums where aspirants have made elaborate charts depicting the distribution of CAT scores (from a coaching institute's list) and other variations related to it! And obviously, multiple coaching institutes have released percentile predictors depending on your score. While these are exciting and will keep you engaged during these anxious times, they do have an effect of heightening your anxiety. People expecting interview calls from select B-Schools might lose their motivation to see themselves on the lower end of the curve. Conversely, someone exceeding their expectations might get overwhelmed and start worrying a lot, affecting their preparation.

How To Score 99.29%ile In SNAP | Shivam Aggarwal, SIBM Pune

All it takes is a SNAP of fingers, and you are on the beautiful campus of Symbiosis. A lot of hard work and sweat is hidden behind good things, and behind my success, there are months of struggle and preparation. Like an ordinary aspirant with my ambitious plans, I started my CAT preparation after getting two years of work experience. Although the d-day didn’t go well as I planned and hoping for, my preparation didn’t go in vain. Instead of sulking in a corner, I burned the midnight oil, and I cracked the SNAP 2017 entrance with 99.29 percentile, got into SIBM Pune, and now I am working as a Project Specialist for Cisco. In the past few years, SIBM Pune has created a special place in India’s top B-schools with outstanding placement records and winning ideas for case study competitions. This has made SNAP a very attractive entrance exam after CAT to get into the top brands.
