Preparing For The Toughest Management Exam - The Dos And Dont's - CAT

Preparing For The Toughest Management Exam - The Dos And Dont's - CAT

As much as taking the decision of sitting for an exam like CAT is difficult, preparing for it is even more mentally disturbing. With preparations come mock tests, percentiles and heartbreak even before sitting for the exam. Hence it is very very important to understand what you want to know, how you want to know it and how much you wish to retain. CAT or "Common Aptitude Test" tests your aptitude skills which you already have.  So it is particularly important to properly brush up your IQ skills and follow some simple steps to excel in all your management exams.

Bell The Curve

Bell The Curve

With admission to one of the top MBA colleges in the country, there are other things which come along with it, in pseudo-hiding. Of course, the look of gleam from your younger cousins, appreciation from other relatives, slight envy from people who never thought you could be good enough and the pride in your parents' eyes, are the ones we all know about.

Choices Should Be Clear Before You Look Into Options In An MBA Journey

Choices Should Be Clear Before You Look Into Options In An MBA Journey

When it comes to preparation of MBA, it is not only limited to just practising the study material and crack the exam. In fact, one must know what his/her interests are and in what areas he/she want to take their career ahead. Aspirants with no prior work experience also appear for the EXAM and have no clear picture about the domains in MBA. For such aspirants, it becomes necessary to get the understanding of at least 2-3 domains. There are freshers who might have done their graduation Internship in a startup that has different functions like Finance, Marketing, and Operations etc and these people at least have understanding of the different verticals in a MBA journey. But if this is not the case, then it become very difficult to choose specific vertical for your MBA and it would be unwise to choose a random domain.

Be Prepared For The MBA Monster

Be Prepared For The MBA Monster

MBA is perhaps one of the most wanted (read: overrated) degrees in India. Lakhs of students appear for dozens of exams and are then selected in hundreds of colleges. This process is a well-oiled machine which has been creating, nurturing and churning out corporate honchos who will conquer the business world. Bold newspaper headlines about placement scenarios, fat paychecks and that distant Sharma ji's son who became an Investment banker, all of these factors are functional in making an aspirant believe in the potency of an MBA.

MBA - Is It Your Inner Calling?

MBA - Is It Your Inner Calling?

“Why MBA”- an interview question aspirants prepare for religiously, recognising it to be a panellist’s favourite. In the race to achieve higher conversions on their end, the TIMEs and CLs of the country have, over the years turned interview classes into a fad, literally feeding into students the reasons for doing an MBA. Ask any panellist who has ever taken a PGP interview and he/she would describe the pain of hearing the monotonous satiated versions of “to complement my technical skills with managerial skills” and “to set foot on the path towards enterprising”.
