But wait, there is a missing component. Time Management. CAT has got that covered too. This is something which all premiere business schools test implicitly. If you could manage to practice for CAT exam along with your job or the last year of your undergraduation then you must have managed your time well. Thus, the growing trend is to prefer candidates with a slightly lower percentile and academics and no career gaps.
Pro Tip: Work on time management from now. If you don’t quit and try really hard you will come up with ways to manage time more efficiently. For example, students have used mobile to-do list apps with prioritization options, some students developed the habit of using the dead time (commutation time, internet surfing time) for getting tasks done and some have used Google Calendar to develop a very well integrated plan to manage their activities. These mechanisms then become your habits for life and ensure success beyond MBA. Not everyone graduating from a premier business school goes on to become a CEO, this is where the differentiation begins.
