According to the management, the Quantitative Aptitude was brainstorming while Verbal Ability section was easy. The second CAT paper in the afternoon session was a bit more difficult than the morning CAT paper. Quantitative Aptitude was the most challenging section, even Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning section was robust. It is calculated that students can achieve 98 percentile at a score of 160 out of 300. Concerning the second paper, students can achieve 99 percentile at a score of 150-155 out of 300.
The sectional cut-offs for the three sections would be as follows:
Verbal Ability: 75+ with an attempt of 28-30 questions
Quantitative Aptitude: 48+ with an attempt of 16-18 questions
Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning: 48+ with an attempt of 14-16 questions
As rightly said "when one door closes, another door opens", here is a list of four actions students must follow at this stage to look for another door waiting full of opportunities:
1. After a proper analysis of your CAT paper from a verified source, get an idea of approximate scores you can obtain as you crosscheck your answers with the tentative answer key (when available).
2. Keeping in mind the guesstimate percentile, apply to the B-Schools accordingly which still has their registration windows open. K J SIMSR is one of those B-Schools.
3. Also, you can consider taking any other exams as CMAT, MAH-CET, MICA and other entrance exams of certain private B-schools renowned for management in certain specific courses. These exams have their registration dates after the CAT exam is over. This sometimes has helped students by giving better career opportunities rather than reappearing next year and wasting another year.
4. Lastly, do not get disheartened and focus on the other entrance exams lined up after CAT, like IIFT, SNAP, NMAT, TISS, XAT, etc. Do not lose your self-confidence and have faith in yourselves as you give your best shot.
