By: Ambika Sur

Decide your next step, now you have two ways and you have to choose any one - restart your preparation to appear again next year or move forward with the score you have achieved with a promise to do better in further career.

As we are aware that the CMAT 2020 result has been declared on 5^th February so by now you are sure about your performance and the score gained. Congratulations! If you have scored exceptional or as per your expectation but if you have failed to score as per your expectation then come let’s have some productive discussion on the same topic.

 How to deal with failure?

“Failure is not the opposite of success, it is a part of success.” Your failure, rather the performance lower than your expectations, is not where the world ends. So, take a deep breath and relax. Then decide your next step, now you have two ways and you have to choose any one - restart your preparation to appear again next year or move forward with the score you have achieved with a promise to do better in further career.

Both the decisions have a purpose based on the situation and your career plans. But once the decision is taken then stick to it and keep on recalling its purpose. 

How to shortlist good MBA colleges that accept different percentile ranges?

Once the result is out, create the list of universities for which your score is eligible. Then compare the basic parameters and begin your shortlisting procedure. Look for the placement opportunities, industrial tie-ups, infrastructure, exposure, fee structure, accommodation facility, course module, etc. Keep a few options in your hand and sit for various GD& PI. Patience is highly demanded during this shortlisting, preparing and selection process.

Suggestions to increase the score

This is the most important suggestion to increase the score of not only CMAT but every other exam. It is very simple, I will convey it in only two points. - make sure not to repeat the same mistakes and work on your weaknesses while polishing your strengths. That’s it. Follow these two points and you will surely score better than ever.
