Hi Shrishti,
For the CAT examination, The list of prohibited thing is as follows:
Electronic gadgets including phones, watches, cameras, bluetooth devices etc.
Jewelry with metal in them.
Cholthing items with pockets.
Although it is not categorically mentioned, it is probably not a very good idea to carry metal keys inside the examination hall as the penalty for being caught with prohibited items inside the examination hall is direct disqualification. However, the center will not take responsibility for any item which is kept outside the examination hall. It is advised to take public transport or ask someone to drop you and pick you up again.
Dear Aspirant,
The most important college you should apply for is Faculty of management studies, Delhi or commonly known as FMS, Delhi.
It is one of the most premier B school and is at par with IIM-ABC. Moreover, FMS Delhi is the biggest ROI institute that is fees to placement ratio,.
last date to apply for FMS is 25 November. Hope this helps,
Thanks.
CAT exam is the exam of unpredictability. Some students getting 95+ in mocks get only 85 in on the exam day while other who are getting 80 in Mocks end up getting 95 on the exam day.
It is not because of the fact that exam was tough or easier, In Fact most of the mocks are tougher than the actual CAT level. It is just the decision you have made in those 3 hours. So do not worry about the hardship of paper as CAT is percentile based exam and if it is hard, it is hard for everyone.
Hope this helps. Thank you.
