Find out how Arnav, an MBA aspirant, prepared for CAT. Read more on Shiksha.

If you have brains nothing can stop you from scoring in CAT. I didn’t prepare at all but I had good control on my basics. Getting above 96 percentile in CAT is easy. But to score over 99.5 percentile you should have a good command on each section. I just gave two free mock tests, appeared for CAT and secured 96 percentile.

MBA gives you the leap of more than 10 years over any other normal BTech or a diploma holder. Even more in case of a very speedy promotion. If you are working in a private firm go for MBA.
