Im in MA 1st year and will be appearing for CAT this year...if i manage to get into some top B-school and complete my MBA then can i take admission again in MA? If yes then can i get admission directly in 2nd year or i will have to appear for 1st yr once again? plz help...

Samprikta Mondal 13th Nov, 2024

The student cannot join the postgraduate MA program directly in the second year of the MA after completing the MBA.


Universities generally expect students to begin the first year of a masters' program even though they had qualifications at the level of a bachelor's degree. The university's curriculum along with the courses are planned to give an in-depth knowledge of the subjects.


But you could opt for:


Postgraduate Studies:


Research Career: In case research interests you, then you can pursue a Ph.D. in your specific interest.

Specialized Master's Programs: Find any specific master's course that supports the career goal.

Professional Certifications:


Make a professional certification in CFA, CA, or FRM to enhance the professional skills and better opportunities in the career field.

Job Entry via MBA

After gaining an MBA from a renowned institution, it's possible to get entry into the corporate world where the diversity in the career field is assured.

In the end, it would depend on what you would like and what you are particularly interested in. It will be better if you take a suggestion from your academic advisor or career counselor.

I have filled cat form under nc obc category and also have valid nc obc certificate but i am certain that my family income would cross 8 lpa this year what should be my way forward. should i mail CAT authority and notify them the same ? will i be considered as genral candidate?

Prachi Kumari 9th Nov, 2024

Hello,

Yes, you should notify the CAT authorities about the change in your category eligibility. Once updated, you will be considered as a General category candidate. This might impact the cutoffs and the reservation benefits you would have initially been eligible for, but it ensures compliance with the rules and maintains your integrity in the admissions process.


Because, If your family's income has crossed the limit of Rs. 8 lakh per annum for the current year, which is the threshold for qualifying under the Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) OBC category, then you would no longer be eligible for the reservation benefits under the NCL OBC category.

You should consider the fact that,

  • During Verification : If your family's income details are reviewed during the admissions or verification stage, and it is found that you do not qualify under the NCL OBC category, there could be serious consequences, such as being disqualified from the process. Being proactive and transparent avoids these complications.

Hope it helps !

I am writing CAT exam this year. I have a permanent tattoo on my wrist. Its a 2 word text. Will it be a problem at my exam center? Please help?

Mitali Sharma 10th Nov, 2024

Hi Shreya ,

Having a tattoo on your wrist should not  create a problem during the CAT exam as long as it does not contain any content that violates exam rules , such as communication-related symbols , unauthorised messages or any text resembling formulas or answers .

For a safe side , it is recommended :

1. Inform the Invigilators : Let them know about your tattoo during the identification check , so there are no misunderstandings .

2. Follow the Guidelines : Ensure you follow all instructions regarding permissible items and dress code on the exam day .

Hope this helps you .

ALL THE BEST .

I have completed my graduation in 2022. Can i get into IIMs with two year gap. But im not confident about my CAT exam. What other examinations can i target which is less difficult compared to CAT. Is 4-5 months sufficient for CMAT?

kumardurgesh1802 6th Nov, 2024

Hello Pritam,

Yes, you can still target IIMs even with a two-year gap post-graduation, as they consider diverse profiles and experiences. A gap isn't necessarily a disadvantage if you can account for it in interviews or your application. If you're not confident about CAT , there are other entrance exams that you can consider, which are generally considered less intense:

  1. CMAT (Common Management Admission Test) : Accepted by several top B-schools in India, including some Tier-1 institutes.

  2. MAT (Management Aptitude Test) : Conducted four times a year, MAT is accepted by many B-schools across India.

  3. SNAP (Symbiosis National Aptitude Test) : Required for admission to Symbiosis International University and its institutes.

  4. NMAT (NMIMS Management Aptitude Test) : Accepted by NMIMS and other reputed B-schools in India.

    Is 4-5 Months Sufficient for CMAT?

Yes, 4-5 months is generally sufficient to prepare for CMAT, especially if you focus on building a solid understanding of the core topics like Quantitative Techniques, Logical Reasoning, Language Comprehension, and General Awareness . CMAT is more straightforward than CAT, with a balanced structure and questions at a moderate difficulty level, making it manageable with dedicated study.

Preparation Tips for CMAT in 4-5 Months:

  1. Focus on Quantitative Techniques and Logical Reasoning : Since these sections make up a large part of CMAT, consistent practice will boost accuracy.

  2. Strengthen General Awareness : Make reading current affairs a daily habit. Focus on business, politics, sports, and general knowledge.

  3. Enhance Language Skills : For Language Comprehension, practice reading comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar.

  4. Take Mocks Regularly : Mock tests will help you gauge your speed, improve accuracy, and familiarize you with the CMAT format.

This preparation will also benefit you if you decide to take other exams like MAT or SNAP , as many skills overlap across these exams.

My signature is little blur in the cat admit card will it be an issue

Prachi Kumari 6th Nov, 2024

Hello,

A blurry signature on your CAT admit card may raise concerns, as it could be difficult for authorities to verify your identity. However, if the rest of the admit card details, such as your photograph and personal information, are clear and accurate, it might not cause an immediate issue. It's advisable to ensure that your signature is clear during future document submissions.

But if your signature is still recognizable, even if it's slightly blurry, it should generally not cause a major issue. As long as the exam authorities can identify your signature, they may accept it. However, it's always best to ensure that all details on your admit card are clear to avoid any potential problems during the exam.

I FRACTURED MY LEG RECENTLY IS IT OKAY TO WRITE CAT EXAM WITH FRACTURED LEG

monag2673 4th Nov, 2024

Yes, you can certainly attempt the CAT exam with a fractured leg, but there are a few practical considerations to help make the experience smoother. Since CAT is a computer-based test (CBT) and requires candidates to be seated for a few hours, it's essential to ensure you’re comfortable during this time. To manage discomfort, consider arranging seating adjustments or leg support if needed. You may also need assistance getting to the exam center and moving around, as most exam centers may not allow additional mobility devices unless pre-arranged.


The CAT exam authorities generally don’t have special accommodations specifically for fractured limbs, but they do provide support for candidates with disabilities. You could reach out to the exam organizers or your designated exam center to discuss any specific needs, such as seating arrangements. Also, be mindful of pain management strategies; consult your doctor for guidance on managing pain during the exam and consider adjusting your study posture to prevent strain.


Ultimately, with careful planning and by reaching out for any necessary accommodations, it is entirely possible to successfully attempt CAT with a fractured leg.
