CAT results are just few hours away from now and many of us would be going through different sets of emotions, which is understandable. Many of us would have put in a lot of effort and their high level of expectation is very much anticipated and obvious. On the the other hand this is also very much a known fact that very few of us is going to make it to 2nd round and again very very few of them is finally going to make it through. But the real question to answer is - What to those who don’t even make it to 2nd round? I can’t say about others but this is what I will go through, if I can’t make it to next level.

With CAT/XAT 2014 results just around the corner, the anticipation and impatience amongst the aspirants is sky high. And, why wouldn’t it be?  After all, they are considered to be the most coveted yet capricious entrance exams of all. However, one should not forget that clearing the written exams with flying colours is just the stepping stone and the dream of getting into a prestigious B-School of the country is still a faint sight. The most important and often a nightmarish one for many, is the Group Discussion round. Although most of the sought-after IIMs of our country have done away with GDs and replaced them with the Written Ability Tests, other equally respected B-Schools still retain the conventional GD round. It is one’s performance in this round that usually singles the ‘eventually-selected’ candidates out who steal the thunder from the rest. It is this round that decides the fate of most of the candidates.
