From An Aspirant To A Student: My Journey To SIBM Pune
Two months back I didn’t know that I’ll be sitting in my hostel room, overlooking the hills and writing this article. Now that I think about it, I realize how much my life has changed in these two months. From being an aspirant to finally a student at one of the most reputed, student-driven management institutes of India, it’s not just life that has changed. Preparing for MBA and finally pursuing it is a life-altering experience. You realize your potential and capabilities, make friends for life, you stumble and fall but you get up, brush off your clothes and begin walking again- with a smile on your face. It’s a Metanoia!

How I Scored 99+%ile In VA-RC | Strategy For CAT & SNAP
Hi ! I am Amir Raza from Kota, Rajasthan. I did my B.Tech in Computer Engineering from Aligarh Muslim University. I was one of the many engineers who decided to opt for MBA and hence wrote CAT'16 in my final year. I scored a whopping 99.7 %le in CAT VARC section which escalated my score to 96.15 %le overall, despite scoring just around 80 and 85 percentiles in LRDI and Quant sections respectively. As a GEM Fresher, I was able to get calls from the new IIM's and IIT Roorkee. However, due to the lack of work experience and not so great academics, I could finally convert only IIM Sambalpur and IIT Roorkee then. General English section (27.5/40) once again proved to be my saviour in my first attempt at SNAP when I was able to manage a 98.2134 %le overall with single digits score in LR and GK ( 4 and 7.5 respectively PS- no sectional cutoff in SNAP ) and an average score in Quant.

70%ile To 99+%ile In The VA Section In 60 Days - An Engineer's Journey
Verbal Ability section is nothing short of a Gordian knot, more so if you’re an engineer. The kinematics, mathematics, and dynamics that you study in your undergrad leave you with very less knack for reading genres like psychology, economics, sociology, politics or even fiction. Well, take a sigh of relief! You need not be a Milton or a Shakespeare or even a voracious reader to ace the Verbal Ability section. Yes, you read it right, and that’s because VA is not equal to vocabulary or literature. It’s about your ability to comprehend while you read. It’s about filtering important information from a plethora of noise.

Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension (VA-RC) section is one of the most important sections across all MBA exams. For some, it is even considered to be a make-or-break section since it is assumed that there is no single strategy involved in solving questions from this section.

SNAP 2017 Detailed Analysis And Expected Cutoffs By Career Launcher
SNAP, for the first time in its history, went online this year. The exam was conducted on 17th December, Sunday. The exam pulled an IIFT all over again! The SNAP paper this year was completely different from any of its earlier avatars. The types of questions differed significantly from the last few years. Overall, the paper was more difficult as compared to that of last year. The paper had a total of 4 sections – General English, Quantitative Ability, Current Affairs and Analytical & Logical Reasoning in the paper with 40, 40, 30 and 40 questions in each section respectively. The sections were jumbled up. There was 1 mark given for each correct answer and 0.25 marks penalty for each incorrect answer. The total time given for the paper was 120 minutes.
