An MBA student’s life is undeniably hectic. With lots of coursework, readings, assignments, projects, and preparation for placements, it often gets challenging to track all the activities. The only way to work efficiently and meet all the deadlines is to keep everything organized in one place and make changes to your schedule with ease. The process of organizing your work should be seamless and should not add to your already hectic workload. Online learning brings along new problems that need to be dealt with. While institutes are taking great efforts to make online learning seamless, it has become more challenging to keep track of activities and deadlines without getting constant reminders from people around you.
Sumit Tengale, a mechanical engineer from the College of Engineering, Pune, worked at Reliance Industries Limited for 3 years. This is when he figured out that pursuing an MBA would help him learn about and understand the industry in depth, making him ready for management positions. This motivated him to write CAT twice. Finally in 2019, Sumit scored 98.6%ile and converted a call to IIM Indore. In this video, he tells us his CAT journey and how he went from 60-65%ile in his first mocks to his current score. Sumit knew that the VA-RC section was a weakness for him. Further, he found himself being overconfident when it came to quants and scored less on that section too. Watch the video to find out how he addressed these weaknesses and how he prepared for his IIM Indore b-school interview!

With less than 60 days to go, preparations for CAT 2020 are on in full swing across the country. One of the essential things that stump many MBA aspirants is managing their time efficiently while preparing for CAT and other entrance exams. Not everyone takes a year off to prepare. Most CAT aspirants tend to their preparations alongside their final year of college or a hectic work-life. The time management issue has been further aggravated this year due to the pandemic and the lockdown. For college students, this means attending online classes, often for longer durations to compensate for the lost class hours. For working professionals working from home, the work might start cutting into any free time as the gap between work and personal life reduces. How can a person find enough time to devote to preparation amidst all the other vital things in life? How many hours of practice per day are considered sufficient to get a good score?
