Unlike a Degree exam where you cram up quite a lot of things to deliver on the D-Day, CAT is a completely anti-thesis to such exams. The prep you have done for the past months will come to fruition rather than what one does in the last five days.
‘Indian Institute of Management’ and ‘Indian Institute of Technology’—these are the two most eminent tags of the country, which every student wants to add along with his or her name but very few taste the success. The most common dilemma of the students, who dream for the best and coveted B-Schools of the country to pursue MBA, occurs due to the plethora of options of such eminent institutes.
Managing the time is paramount to scoring well in the CAT Exam. CAT has three sections with a sectional time limit of 1 hour. Though this set up reduces the burden on aspirants to manage time between the sections, managing the time while taking a section remains an issue. Every section has its idiosyncrasies and hence there is a method in the madness to ensure good scores in each section. In this webinar, Jeetesh Varshney, an IIM Udaipur student, will talk to you guys about the same, i.e. how to strategize and manage time in CAT exam to maximise your score. Join at 7 pm.

One of the quick and effective ways to prepare better for CAT is to know the approach of the students who gave CAT in the previous year. Thus we reached out to students themselves who have gone through the test of CAT and passed with flying colours. In the first article under #ExperiencesFromLastYear'sCatCrackers we reached out to Aashi Batra, who is currently a first-year student at IIM Indore to share her experiences of CAT prep and exam. We asked her to share her strategy for the last few days and an effective plan to strengthen one's weakest section. Here are a few from her own CAT exam experiences that led her to prestigious IIM Indore.
In continuation under our series #ExperiencesFromLastYear'sCATCrackers, this time we reached out to Gaurav. Here is a different perspective for the CATPrep journey from a talented and hard working IIT Roorkee engineer. About Guest Author: Gaurav Pareek is currently a first year PGP student at IIM Indore.
Have you ever wondered as to why many CAT aspirants seem to fail to score well in the exam even after spending a good amount of their time mugging up the formulas and practising? Mostly it’s because many students attempt the mocks as well as the real CAT itself without a proper plan.
Reading Comprehension, or the RC parts in the Verbal Ability section is a dreaded lot. On one hand RC passages are unpredictable, and on the other, they hold a lot of weightage in the paper, specially since 2015. One cannot simply skip these questions, and they hold the key to make or break your score in the verbal section. So love them or hate them, they are around, and we have to look for ways to ace them.
Practice tests, or mocks, are on the must-do list of every serious CAT aspirant and would feature on every topper’s tips. So, we have so far come to understand that taking mock tests is of the utmost importance. To summarise,
