In coming weeks we will probably be discussing all about CAT, the three sections and numerous strategies to deal with them however earlier than that we have to understand our adversary.
Understanding Competitors: Rather a lot has been mentioned about competitors at CAT and how IIMs are the hardest institute in the world to get into. I would like to present some factors on the same for you to ponder.
Normal perception is that success ratio to get into IIMs (in the intervening time we'll calculate it for under the highest 7 IIMs with an mixture of is 1:seventy five and above. Sure, 185,000 took CAT 2010. So?
Does that imply 185000 were concentrating on IIMs final yr? That's anybody’s guess.
By my expertise I can say roughly two-third of the CAT takers every year of their goals wouldn't have targeted IIMs. They are simply product of "What subsequent?" syndrome and have got hold of some CAT materials to start with. Within the Indian academic system, a scholar is extra anxious about "what next" than focusing on current. This "what subsequent" resolution shouldn't be taken after a rational look at various career options and college students curiosity ranges however depends on peer stress and the current development in market, to not mention lack of exposure to graduates in present scheme of issues.
The true competitors at CAT is the remaining one third aspirants (those who chose MBA as their career option and not a degree possibility). These are the aspirants from the assorted IITs, RECs, finest commerce faculties within the country, working professionals with sound managerial acumen and the fresh CAs. But because it happens in every aggressive exam half of these lack the will & focus and tend to postpone their CAT aspirations for years to come.
Objectively speaking, the real competitors is simply 25000 to 30000 in quantity but it includes of bunch of aspirants who usually are not just good and sensible however centered and diligent in pursuit of their dream IIM tag.
Me - the CAT aspirant and figuring out what it takes: Initially it's essential to sit down and understand whether you are a serious CAT taker or you belong to the second class of "half-hearted attempters" at CAT. Thereafter you have to introspect your current verbal and quantitative expertise as they stand in the present day.
Take a previous 12 months CAT paper or go online to our website for online CAT preparation material and do introspect this week until we meet subsequent week and discuss "CAT-What it takes".
