CAT Preparation

Hi amit, there is an ample of time is there for you. you rightly identified your weaknesses .so try to improve those areas. you can prepare CAT. but required lot of work need to be done. do some model papers. check out your improvement . working on model papers would definitely helpful to score more in CAT.

IIM A currently is the most sought after institute. To prepare for CAT, I would suggest you to first take a mock test to see your level and then go for coaching. It is required to practice the nuances of tricky questions which are to be solved in the given time.
All the best.

As of today, any kind of gap in education or your career, has to be justified. You have not mentioned the reason for the gap. You can definitely look at taking time off, to prepare for the CAT exam and ensure that you score a minimum of 99 percentile. You have to necessarily target the top 30 B Schools in India. A word of caution. CAT is a highly unpredictable exam, in terms of the pattern. It keeps on changing, year to year. Unshakable faith in your skill sets, will make you a winner

Its true, work .exp person get more advantage.

Time institute is good. but you can also join Career Launcher or Erudite

Hello Pragati,
You've pretty good score in MAT and you can apply for many good B-schools with this. So, I would suggest you to try for good B-schools through your MAT. The best B-schools that you can target with this are: BIMTECH, UPES, Great Lakes, Christ & XIME. Good luck.

1. Vista mind and
2. Career launcher are two of the better institutions for CAT and MAT preparation.

Dear Sanjeev,
Career gap doesn't harm your chances of getting into a B-School, if you can justify the gap for 3 years.
All the best.

Hello Shivam, The selection criteria can change in any year. This year there is no weightage given to your past academic scores, however, I can't assure you that it will be the same 1-2 yrs from now. If it remains the same then you can surely get a seat in FMS provided you meet the cutoff for the final admission offer. For eligibility criteria please visit FMS website: www.fms.edu.
