Yes you nailed it! CAT sucks! I know people with 99%tile and above average acads not even getting calls from new IIMs LUL! I advise everyone to stay from this trap of IIMs and CAT - its a waste of time :)

You sound like someone who scored really badly in it and is just spreading the hate.

It won't affect you if you definitely want to do your MBA contingent on a few things. CAT is not that tough an exam hence you cannot explain a year's worth of time solely spent on CAT preparation. This will only work if you build your profile in the direction in which you want to do your MBA . Finance ? Get a CFA lvl1. Marketing ? Get some digital marketing or branding courses. Ops ? Get a six sigma certification. Start a blog. Record your experiences. Because that is how you will stand out. More importantly that is how you will grow and MBA is all about growing yourself.
