Often classified as one of the toughest exams an Indian Student can ever appear for, the Common Admissions Test (CAT), is, in fact, more a test of what you are made of rather than acumen. If you have the patience and determination, you can get a 99 percentile no matter what your 10th and 12th grades say.
IIM A, B, & C are not the institutes, about which everyone can dream of! This is what friends remarked when he expressed interest in joining IIMs. He researched further to realize that only 4 out of ~ 400 students of graduating batch '18 of IIMB had more than 58 months experience. Most of admits had academic scores at least 85% at all stages. Can a person with scores in 70s and PSU work-experience of 65 months aspire for traditional 2-year PGP at top IIMs? He had such apprehensions deep inside, but he just moved ahead with his plan.

My dear juniors who are appearing for the upcoming CAT examinations and who are aspiring for MBA in future, here is something I want to share as a person who had been through all these processes of Exams, Interviews, GDs, Mock GDs, Mock tests and lots and lots of reading material.
The hefty amount of money, a big bundle of energy and two years of your time, I am sure these factors always haunt you when you think about leaving your Job for CAT. The saying ‘Few people achieve their dreams by playing it safe’ may be a motivating quote to quit but what remains equally valid is that ‘Taking unnecessary risks is plain stupid’.
“Do not go gentle into that good night; Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they; Do not go gentle into that good night.”
