Hi, I'm Ritabrata, an incoming MBA student at IIM Lucknow. Having completed a Political Science major from Hindu College, I secured 99.56%ile in CAT '24, and cleared CFA L1 alongside.

In today's dynamic business landscape, technical skills alone are no longer sufficient to achieve success. Employers are increasingly recognising the critical role of "soft skills" in today's dynamic business environment. Soft skills are attributes that enable an individual to conduct effective interaction and collaboration with others. Mastering these skills isn't just advantageous, it's essential.
Anyone who makes up his/her mind to prepare for any of the competitive examinations, the first thing that comes to their mind is the syllabus, paper pattern, cutoffs, and the best institutes, or any source from where he/she can get guidance.

So let's look at those free resources from which you can get help, and you won't regret it later!
