In India, every year around 3-4 lakh candidates prepare for their journey to pursue MBA. They apply for multiple entrances like CAT, MAT, XAT, IBSAT, NMAT etc. But the most important among them in CAT, because it is the only single entry for the prestigious IIMs. Many students dream to pursue their post-graduation in Management from IIMs or other top institutes like SP Jain, IMI, MDI Gurgaon and many others. But entry to these institutes is not that easy. The journey has mainly two phases. Firstly, to clear entrance and then to appear for WAT, GI, PI for various colleges. The first step requires to ensure to get a score of at least above 90 percentile in CAT. The interesting about CAT is there is no age limit, so you will need to compete with people who may be having 5 years of experience to candidates who are freshers. Another thing is that in CAT candidates from mostly any discipline or background like engineering, commerce, BBA can appear. These make the competition tougher.

Scoring 99+ in VA is different from scoring 99+ in the other two sections, which is why we see a lot of people struggle in VA despite scoring well in the other sections. It is a section where even coaching classes haven’t found a clear-cut formula for. A major part of scoring well in VA is getting a good command over the language itself, which takes time. But that in itself isn’t enough; when I took the first few mocks I was surprised to see I was struggling in the VA section because, being an avid reader, that was one section I wasn’t worried about. With time I realized the trickiness of this section because understanding the context of the question is very important. It is very easy to misinterpret the question and is also probably why people get a lot of negatives in VA because people actually think their answer is right, which is unlike QA or DILR where you definitely know when you’re wrong.
