Hello Team, I want to know about CAT. What are the strategies to Crack CAT. I am unemployed and I dont know what to do I need personal counseling.

Ishita 30th Jul, 2024

Here are some strategies to help you prepare effectively for the CAT:

1. Understand the CAT Exam Pattern

- Sections: The CAT typically has three sections:

-Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC)

- Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR)

- Quantitative Ability (QA)

- Duration: The exam is usually 2 hours in duration, with 40 minutes allotted to each section.

- Scoring: In CAT, you get +3 for correct answer but -1 for incorrect answer.


2. Create a Study Plan

Assess Your Strengths and Weaknesses: Take a mock test to identify areas where you need improvement.

- Set a Schedule: Allocate specific hours each day for study and stick to this schedule.

- Balanced Preparation: Divide your time equally between the three sections. People make the mistake of devoting more time to the section they think they are good at.


3. Study Material and Resources

Books: Use standard CAT preparation books like "How to Prepare for Quantitative Aptitude" by Arun Sharma, "Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension" by Rajesh Balasubramanian, and others.

- Previous Years’ Papers: Practice previous years’ CAT papers to understand the exam pattern

Hope this helps

I have completed my Btech in 2021 and than prepared for CAT 2022 got 92.23 %ile overall , in 2023 I did data science course in hope to get a job in data science domain but whole year passed and now I have a gap of 3 years without job . what should I do?

Yash 20th Oct, 2024

You can prepare and appear for the CAT or any other management entrance test and pursue an MBA. Although you have three years of gap, there is no need to worry about this as you will be given an opportunity to justify it during the Personal Interview process. Now, in order to justify this gap, you can do some certificate courses, work in an NGO, pursue something related to your area of interest, etc. This gap year will not directly impact your selection chances in the business school but you should have a valid reason to support you answer. Apart from going for an MBA, you can also look for a job or can appear for any other competitive examination.

hello everyone!i have got 91 percent in my 10th,70 percent in 12th & 90 percent in graduation,is any good management institute open for me through cat/xat

Ishita 20th Jul, 2024

Hello Aspirant

Seeing your marks, it is evident you are good in academics. Thus, you can get into a good MBA college but mind you, it won't be easy because there are thousands of students who are as good as you, if not better. MBA colleges do not choose candidates solely based on academic performance, although it has a big weightage in their selection process. They test your presence of mind, intellect, and communication skills through Group Discussions and Interviews.

The safest way to get into a good MBA college is to score 96-97+ percentile and do really well in GD and  PI. Top MBA colleges in India are IIMs, XISS (Ranchi), TISS, Delhi School of Business, and Symbiosis.

Hope this helps

I am a female student,I get jee main cut off 94.48.Can I get admission at NIT Trichyin obc cat

Rishitha 27th Feb, 2024

Hello

Generally admissions are given based on your rank. So based on your overall percentile in JEE your rank could be between 56470 - 63480 approximately.

Unfortunately, Based on the marks you scored, it will be difficult to get admitted into NIT Trichy under OBC category. However there is also a second chance for you to attend for JEE, so I recommend you to take that chance and score better.

You can check the colleges you are eligible for using the below link.

90.02% in 10th and 55.53% in 12th (science) and 80.02 out of 10 points in graduation (BBA) will I get a call from IIM A,B,C considering I get the appropriate CAT score (>99.5%)

Yash 20th Oct, 2024

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is the most important component to get admission to any of the elite IIM. In order to get admission to IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore or Calcutta, you must obtain a good percentile in the CAT. However, even scoring a 99.5 percentile in the CAT will not give you a guarantee to get an interview call subject to the condition that you belong to the reserved category or diversified academic background. IIMs has a very complex admission process.

IIMs give consideration to a lot of factors while giving an interview call. These factors include CAT score, Class 10, Class 12, and Bachelor's degree marks, work experience, academic, and gender diversity, etc. Your first priority should be to clear both the overall and sectional percentile.

If you even score more than 99.5 percentile in the CAT , this will not mean that you will get a confirm Interview call. Therefore, the CAT score is not the only criteria but is one of the major criteria for admission.

The marks obtained by you in Class 10, Class 12, and Graduation will play a major role to get a shortlist for the WATPI process and during your final selection. Therefore, you have good chances to get admission in IIM A, B, C subject to the condition that you must perform well in the CAT followed by the WATPI process.
