Now coming to few pointers about my preparation strategy and some information related to my profile/GDPI experience:
- Profile: I had a decent profile with 9/8/8 in 10/12/B.Tech. I had around 34 months of work ex till Dec,2019 in TCS.
- Resources used for CAT: I was Iquanta classroom student. The tricks, shortcuts and doubts solved there helped me in my preparation. Other than that I relied on the mocks of IMS and TIME. I also had Arun Sharma, Time materials and past year mock/cat papers which I used too.
- No.of Mocks taken: I took close to 30 full length mocks, and around 10-15 sectional tests of all the 3 sections(VARC, LRDI and QA)
- Time management: I had to manage both my office as well as my cat preparation. I used to read articles or solve RCs while travelling to the office. Even during office hours, I tried to solve a few sums/few LRDI sets whenever I got time. During my free time, I used to go to the library. My target was to put at least 2-3 hrs daily for my preparation.
- Other exams are taken: I have scored 99.06% in SNAP and around 90% in XAT
- GDPI preparation strategy: I joined IMS for my GDPI preparation. GDPI is all about knowing to communicate and speak fluently and clearly, knowing everything related to yourself-school, hometown, hobbies, etc, current affairs and a little bit of economics/statistics.
- Tips to CAT aspirants: Read 2-3 articles daily, solve 2-3 RCs daily. This would improve the VA part. For LRDI, try to solve 2-3 sets daily, preferably from past year mock papers. For QA, try to solve 20 sums daily. Analyse mocks well and make a point not to repeat the same mistakes. If you give a mock for 3 hours, it should be analysed for at least 6 hours. This is the most important part. P.S: I maintained an excel tracker to track my mock scores and see the areas where am lacking or doing well.
Being an engineer it has always been a dream to be part of the IIT ecosystem. It had been a dream come true for me and I couldn't be happier. Finally, all those hard work and years of struggle paid off :)
The journey is more important than the destination. Happy learning :D
