The Disaster Management courses offered are BA, BSc, BBA, MBA, MA, MSc, PhD, and MPhil. Students can choose one among these as per their preference. A Disaster Management course prepares students for risk management, mitigation and response. Depending on your level of education and specialisation, there is a range of Disaster Management courses available.

Some common Disaster Management courses include:

• Disaster Risk Assessment and Management: The basics of disaster risk assessment and management are covered in this course. You will learn how to recognise, assess, and handle natural and man-made hazards.
• Disaster Mitigation and Preparedness: This course covers disaster mitigation and preparedness principles. You will learn how to lessen the likelihood of disasters and prepare for them.
• Disaster Response and Recovery: The basics of disaster response and recovery are covered in this course. You will learn how to respond to disasters and how to assist communities in their recovery.

A Disaster Management Course can be pursued by:

CAT is a speed-based test of analytical aptitude, logical reasoning skills, data interpretation and English comprehension. Now, it may sound tough, but these are the skills which we are taught in school so there is nothing new to learn. What is required is to learn these subjects at advanced level. If you are an average student but have studied Science or Commerce in Class-12 and graduation, you will find a lot of familiar topics in Data Interpretation, Quantitative Aptitude and Logical Reasoning. All you will need is brush up the basics and practice the concepts on advanced-level problems.

However, since the competition is so high in CAT and less than 95 percentile can break your dream of joining a top college like IIM, the preparation for CAT requires a lot of focus, dedication, discipline and diligence. If you can do that, despite being an average student, you can crack the CAT exam.
