Cracking the GK Section of the IIFT Entrance Examination
The CAT 2018 official notification was released on 28th July 2018.
Firstly, my intro or profile as they say in the MBA and CAT lingo, Mechanical engineer working for Reliance Industries Limited at Shahdol (a place hardly anyone would have heard of), Madhya Pradesh with acads being 88/90/82 (10th/12th/Graduation) and a work ex of 32 months.
Most students focus on the written test to make it to a b-school. Many of them actually ace the test but are not able to get through the PI round. It is the PI round which differentiates one from the other and determines which institute you land at.
A large number of people are caught in the vicious cycle of giving CAT, they appear for it year after year but still, they are not able to succeed. I would like to talk about one such category of people and help them make better decisions related to CAT. The category of people in focus is the fresh graduates of tier 2 engineering colleges of India. There are many things which make them different from the rest of the CAT aspirants; generally the placement scenarios in these colleges are not very good and as a result, these students look forward to doing an MBA from the best colleges. Generally, they are looking for better job scenarios and a ‘better life’ in their new college. They start their CAT preparation either during the final year, some even start in their second year. During this time they get so engrossed with the hope of studying in the top IIM that they are not able to see the whole scenario. While some of them crack the CAT and get admission in b-school, they become the motivation for the rest of the people. While the people who fail to get admission are the one for whom this article is directed to.
