Hello aspirant,

Hello aspirant,

The only on-screen calculator that CAT permits use is a simple one. It is not permitted for you to bring the actual calculator into the center. This approach is predicated on the idea that the CAT assesses an individual's aptitude for solving challenging mathematical puzzles and making fast mental computations.

Thank you

A CAT percentile of 90 or above can strengthen your application to MICA, it is not the only factor that determines admission.MICA considers scores of CAT and MICAT which are weighted 50–50 percent for the interview call.

Strong performance in the Pshycometric test and descriptive writing increase your chances to get into mica even if you score 80 percentile.the admission is based upon whole performance including every marks.

ALL the best!!!!


Hello aspirant,

A timetable is essential if you are preparing for the CAT in addition to your college coursework. It will give you an idea of how long it will take you to finish your syllabus and then set aside the appropriate amount of time for revision and mock exams. Without a set timetable, you risk taking your time and not completing your preparation as thoroughly as is necessary.

Thank you

Hope it helps you.

Hello Nikita,

To get into any of the top IIMs, such as IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Lucknow, Kozhikode, or Indore, a good percentile in CAT is required, although academics play a vital role too. Let's break it down below:

CAT Score: 98+ percentile is an excellent score and makes one competitive.

Academic Scores:

Your 10th score at 84% is quite good.

A 12th score of 65% is on the lower side, which might hamper your chances at some of the top IIMs since they give weightage to past academic performance.

IIM Selection Criteria:

Every IIM has its own weightage for the scores of academics, CAT percentile, work experience, if any, and diversity.

For example, IIM Ahmedabad requires consistent academic records, while IIM Bangalore puts the strongest focus on work experience and diversified profiles.

Graduation: You are currently pursuing graduation, and your performance during that will also be considered in the shortlisting process.

While your CAT score is going to be the major pointer, your academic record-doing in class 12-is going to affect your prospects a bit at IIMs that place significant emphasis on your past performance. Still, you will have a healthy shot, at least at institutes like Lucknow, Kozhikode, and Indore, where a good score in CAT may offset lower marks in academics.

If you have diverse profiled extracurricular activities, leadership roles etc, or work experience, then it can build up your application further.

That you have signed up for the CAT is fantastic! Although it may seem a little late to begin preparing now, it is still possible to do well on the test if you put in deliberate and purposeful work. Here's how to make the most of the time you spend preparing:

Recognise the structure of the CAT: Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension (VARC), Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Quantitative Ability (QA) are the three portions of the exa m.

Establish a Study Plan: Considering your limited time, make a regular and reasonable study plan. To improve your score, give less known topics priority, but be sure to practise the simpler ones as well.


Mock Exams: Consistently take mock exams. They will assist you in determining your strong and weak points and acclimating to the format of the exam. In order to improve time management, try to replicate actual exam situations.


Concentrate on Core Concepts: Review your foundational knowledge of arithmetic and logical thinking, as these will be tested heavily. Start reading articles and exercising comprehension on a regular basis for VARC.

Resources: To obtain organised help, make use of internet resources and CAT prep books.

I understand your situation, Aishwarya. Preparing for the CAT while balancing your final year of engineering can be challenging, especially without coaching. However, with dedication and the right approach, it's definitely possible to crack the exam.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Assess Your Strengths and Weaknesses:

  • Practice Regularly: Solve as many CAT questions as possible to identify your strengths and weaknesses.
  • Focus on Weak Areas: Devote more time to areas where you struggle, such as VARC.

2. Build a Strong Foundation:

  • Basic Concepts: Ensure you have a solid understanding of basic grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension techniques.
  • Practice Reading: Develop a habit of reading newspapers, books, and articles regularly to improve your reading speed and comprehension.

3. Effective VARC Preparation:

  • Practice RCs: Solve a variety of RC passages from different topics to get comfortable with different styles and difficulty levels.
  • Analyze Answers: Understand why the correct answer is correct and why the incorrect options are wrong.
  • Seek Guidance: If you're struggling with VARC, consider joining online forums or communities where you can discuss questions and get help from others.

4. Online Resources:

  • Free Online Courses: Utilize platforms like Coursera, edX, and Khan Academy for free online courses on CAT preparation.
  • Mock Tests: Take as many mock tests as possible to assess your progress and identify areas for improvement.

5. Create a Study Plan:

  • Time Management: Allocate specific time slots for CAT preparation, considering your academic commitments.
  • Consistency: Stick to your study plan and avoid procrastinating.

6. Stay Motivated:

  • Set Goals: Break down your goal of getting into IIMB into smaller, achievable targets.
  • Celebrate Achievements: Reward yourself for your progress to stay motivated.

While coaching can be helpful, it's not essential. With dedication, perseverance, and effective study strategies, you can definitely crack the CAT and achieve your goal of getting into IIMB.

Remember, starting now is a great decision. The earlier you begin, the more time you'll have to improve your skills and build confidence. Good luck!
