I am going to cover a different aspect of CAT preparation which very few people talk about or know the importance of it. However, I feel that it is one of the most important parts of one's preparation. This article revolves around the importance of mental health in CAT preparation. Although, I am no psychologist or an expert and this is purely based on my personal experience.
Hey there, this is so frequently asked a question, that I decided to blog about it. First things first, I got a 99.92 percentile, with sectional scores being: (1) 99.96 in QA, (2) 99.26 in DILR and (3) 98.03 in VARC.
Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly.

Not everyone understands this, but Product Managers are powerful people. Imagine that you're a Product Manager. You change one button on your app, it impacts the behaviour of millions of users. You launch a brand new feature for your product, it's now trending on Twitter. Essentially, with every decision you take, you wield the power to control how people interact with the virtual world. "With great power comes great responsibility." Thinking of Spider-Man? Think again - we're talking about a Product Manager's job description. And with such tremendous power comes - you guessed it - an equally tremendous paycheque. Working with Flipkart as a PM? Don't miss the chance to flaunt that you're earning a median base salary of ₹ 28 lakhs. Microsoft's your dream company? Kaching! Start making plans to spend all of that ₹ 25 lakhs you're about to make this year. Facebook has asked you to come in for an interview for a PM role in their US office? Don't be shocked when they mention the $250,000 paycheque. By the way, these numbers haven't been conjured from thin air - these are all actual salaries Product Managers have reported earning. So there's money, there's power, and there's a chance to work with the biggest companies in the whole wide world. What's missing? We'll tell you - Guidance. Product Management sounds great, but is it your calling? What happens behind the scenes in the life of a PM? Is it as rosy as we've just made it sound? The only way to know is if you get guidance from someone who is already where you want to be, and this is where we step in. We are excited to present to you Product Management 101 - a 3 day intensive workshop with the Amsterdam based Ellora Nath who is a Senior Product Manager at Booking.com.
NMAT is one of the most popular management entrance exams that serves as a gateway to one of the most sought-after private b-schools in India - the School of Business Management at NMIMS Mumbai. When compared with exams like CAT or XAT, NMAT is generally considered to be an easier exam. Now, after many years, GMAC has announced several significant changes to the NMAT paper pattern! These are the important details of the revised NMAT 2020 paper pattern.
As a GEM Fresher candidate, an enormously overrepresented demographic at B-Schools, I was hounded from the beginning by all the people around me. I was told that you need to have an exceptional CAT score and stellar academics to make it through, given how cut-throat the competition is in your pool. And as someone who had 4 backlogs in his first year, this definitely did not feel like an appealing path to tread.
"Life is not exactly about planning, rather handling unprecedented turns with a calm mind." - My Dad Studying in a coveted engineering college (DCE) and then bagging a Big 4 company in the first month of placement season felt like a smooth sailing career-wise. I had a full 3 months to set my CAT 2018 preparation back on track but as things start becoming all nice and cosy human mind tends to get complacent. Obviously I didn't fare well in CAT or IIFT or XAT because that back-up was always there and it was good enough! Fast forward to June 2019- Got my location to be Bangalore, recuperating from jaundice and father's haemoglobin went spiralling down for which blood transfusion was suggested. Despite a million requests my location was not changed to Gurgaon office, which tbh broke my heart.
