Abishake Koul graduated from BIT Mesra in 2013 and had a 2 year stint with Maruti Suzuki before joining IIM Lucknow where he is a part of Media & Communication Cell. His hobbies include writing, poetry and running. He conducted a live chat to help aspirants manage time while giving CAT as well as manage time while preparing for CAT.
I consider my country at the top most position when it comes to competition. Straight from old school days to my graduation, there were lots of ups and downs in my life ranging from report card marks to board examination marks. After I entered into the corporate world, the struggles faced by me were totally different. Hardships were counted in terms of appraisal ratings, performance check, attendance hours, attending business calls, etc.
And the D-Day is getting nearer. Only a month to go before all the preparation is put to test. This is the time where many non serious aspirants withdraw from the CAT since they have a lot of backlog remaining in terms of concepts and tests. It is imperative to not lose hope and carry on with renewed hope and vigor. Consider it to be the last 50 meters of a 100 meter race and this is the time to buckle up. Aspirants, if prepare diligently, can increase their percentile by 10-20 points. So the most important thing here is to not lose heart and carry on with a dedicated plan.

This is my story and it is a story of hope.... "Every event has a purpose and every setback its lesson. I have realized that failure, whether of the personal, professional or even spiritual kind, is essential to personal expansion. It brings inner growth and a whole host of psychic rewards. Never regret your past. Rather, embrace it as the teacher that it is." ― Robin S. Sharma
Around 40 days to CAT remaining. Should you do just be giving mock tests? Should you leave the topics you're weak in? How can you improve your score by at least 50 marks in the last 40 days? Should I take up new topics in the last few days? Gave a mock test, now what? To answer all these questions and more we have ARKS Srinivas from Vistamind to help you. ARKS Srinivas is a IIM Calcutta alumnus and has trained students for CAT over the last 20 years.
It is that time of the year again. The MBA exam frenzy has started to kick in. Be it students juggling their final year or working professionals their jobs, this preparation is a test of your time management and mental strength as it is a strength of Verbal, Quant and Analytical skills. It is also the time when one has to mound his preparation according to the exam at hand as CAT isn't generally the only exam aspirants focus on. There are other exams also like NMAT, XAT, TISS, SNAP, IIFT, CMAT and also GMAT in some cases. Each exam has something different and unique to be focused on for it. So as an aspirant, how do I encounter this headache of preparing for each exam but also not derailing from my main focus and preparation of the CAT.
