Q: What makes CAT tougher than other MBA entrance exams?

Common Admission Test or CAT is a national-level management aptitude test conducted by IIM for admission to MBA. Each year, over 2.3 Lacs candidates take the CAT exam, which is accepted by the IIMs and top MBA colleges in India. It is important to apply strict selection criteria to identify the top candidates among them. That's why, the CAT exam is tougher than other MBA entrance exams. Even though the syllabus of CAT is the same as that of other MBA entrance exams, the question paper set by the IIM faculty always has tough questions. Moreover, CAT has a sectional time limit for each section which is not there in any other exam except XAT.

Learning Experience: The course is very relevant to our day-to-day life and the industry's needs. We get to learn many creative subjects like accounts, coding, building a venture from 250, and UI/UX.

Placements: They haven't guaranteed placements, but yeah, people are getting very good opportunities through it, like someone is going for an educational trip to Japan, internships, and even one of my friends is going to Russia through that.

Faculty: They have one of the best faculties all over India. The lectures and the tests are very comprehensive, testing the needs and satisfying the learning aspects in one of the most prestigious Institutes in India. The course has a trimester system in one year, with 3 semesters.

Course Support: The management is very managed and guided, as their response is quick and helpful. The course support is nice, you also get a forum to discuss the topic and share your views, and we also have doubt sessions with the professors, which is very useful to me.
