IIM U has one of the biggest campuses in India. The campus has a picturesque view and is surrounded by hills/mountains. It has all the facilities which a premium B school has. The classroom is very good and the infrastructure which is complete or the planned infrastructure in which a person can imagine is mind-boggling. The faculty members who are teaching us is also of very good quality. All of them have a very good experience and have already a good name in the industry. The guest lectures and team building activities which were organized by the college for the new batch were also very helpful in realising the weakness and strong points as an individual. Most of the college activities are student driven and students are considered as the building blocks of pillars of IIM U. All these things give us immense pleasure and motivation to make the institution as one of the best B school in the world.
Classrooms in IIM U has all the advanced features and very strict attendance system. It has 3 check system for the students. It includes biometrics followed by the signature and at last the image clicked when you are on the seat. IIM U has a great focus on academics. Classrooms of IIM U also follow the core value system of IIM U and teaches us those values in some of the other way. The core value includes academic excellence, integrity, transparency, mutual respect, inclusion, environmental consciousness.
In our batch, there are around 260 students who are from various fields which brings a lot of diversity not only in the class but also in the personal life as well. Due to the diversity involved, I get to know something new whenever I interact with someone. The campus has around 600 students on the campus and everybody has some or the other kind of experience in some or the other field. During the first week, all of us interacted a lot with each other during the new tough timetable. The age group here is also very strange as in my batch there is an age difference of about 12 years which makes things interesting. It is great and exciting to know the experience of different people who have lived in a different part of the country. All the people are supportive and are always up for the conversation.
Which ABG company I want to work for?
I want to work in IDEA Cellular Limited as telecommunication sector is at the boom as of now and a lot of innovation is taking place in that sector which I think will be beneficial in the aspect of growth in the future. IDEA company has nearly 200 million customer base and annual revenue of more than US$ 5 billion. There are several advancements being made in this sector which makes it a lucrative area to work in. I feel that I will be able to express my talent in this company and make the most of the opportunity.

Definitely you can. But as far as I know, difficulty level of questions in IMS study material is lower than TIME or Career Launcher. Until you solve difficult questions, you will not develop a good speed for easy questions.

I had joined TIME for test series. But I gave few CL open tests as well. Both are equally good. Only solution to improve VARC is to practice more and more RC of varied topics so that you are familiar with different topics. Give sectional tests for RC. I had the video solutions to all the mock tests so watching the videos for VA really helps as it explains you the detailed approach to do the same.

5 months are more than enough if you prepare with complete dedication. Make sure you write a mock test every weekend. All the best!

Trust me ! You will definitely face similar issues in CAT as well. Passages are not difficult in CAT but the options are. To solve such questions, try to avoid the option where there is some assumption made. Never choose the option where any assumption is made. Or, leave such confusing questions.

Accuracy matters a lot to have a good score. You may attempt lesser questions but always take care of the accuracy.

You should stand a good chance due to diversity. Particularly, I have less idea about the non-engg background.

Hello
Hello Mam, Your article is a real help. I have a query: In the last 2 AIMCATs I scored approx 75%ile, w/o the revision of QA formulas. One section that is creeping me out is VARC- It took me nearly 45 minutes to read 3 RCs (2L + 1S) in in the mock with an accuracy of 65%. I am ok in QA, I know with revision & proper strategy I can pull it out. DILr, is also fine just accuracy is beating me over there, which can done thru practice only. I am really concerned about the VaRC section. I am looking for nothing less than 99%ile. I am gonna follow your methodology and I believe that I will achieve my goal. Any special advice from on VARC as per my situation could make things better. Any?

You need to be thorough with the basic sets of DILR with good speed and accuracy because DIRL in CAT is much more difficult than the mock tests. RC will improve if you start practicing everyday on varied topics. VA as I mentioned, I have no particular strategy. Chances to get VA questions correct are very less but still it is not advised to just rely on RC. Luckily in CAT 2017, RC was much simpler than VA and I had attempted all the passages and no VA question. But this changes every year.

Hello
Thank you replying Mam. I have 3 more queries: 1. What source is suitable to practice for DILR? 2. What habits from now on should I adopt to prepare for GDPIWAT? I am working executive.

So, the mock tests will have set types of DILR while CAT has various practical applications and complicated DILR. I am unaware of the source where CAT level DILR is available but yes practicing the conventional DILR will definitely improve your performance. I would suggest you focus on CAT currently. At max, you can read newspaper and editorial.

Hello
Thank you Mam, for all the advice that you have given. One more grey area where most of the students are perplexed is appropriate test taking strategies- Like how to tackle each section. Could you please write an article about the same?

I am currently working for 8-10 Hours. Is it possible to start preparation for CAT now through self study ? As I do not have time to attend the classes. But I have some real 2 hours free in office while reporting . I think i can work on it during my working hours easily. Even I need some time to arrange CAT preparation material . So what would you suggest ? Should I start now ?

Hello Mam! Thanks for the strategy. For my preparation, I wish to complete basics by July end or Aug mid and from then on religiously take mocks. I study newspaper daily solve an RC daily but I am too afraid of LRDI.. what can I do on daily basis to improve mam? I really need your input. I am scoring like 65 percentile as of now in mocks and that makes me scared even more. What should I do from now on to improve and not lose motivation in between the prep? Thanks in advance!

Start practicing mocks from now onwards only. Some GRE/GMAT books (RC99, Manhattan etc.) have real good techniques to solve RC, you can refer that. For LRDI, you should definitely score above 85 percentile in mocks because these are very easy as compared to CAT. LRDI is something which improves by practising and you should develop te skill to select easy questions.
