Hi,
There are three parts involved in preparing for any competitive exam.
1. Learning the concepts.
2. Solving questions and papers
3. Evaluation and improving. You can use Youtube or refer some books to clarify concepts and learn about the test format and structure. For solving problems you can buy some books by Tata McGraw Hill, Arihant for CAT and Kaplan, GMAT Review for GMAT. For evaluation and improving, you can solve papers and evaluate them yourself. Find out your weaknesses and work on improving them.

Hi,
Unfortunately, the answer to this question is "YES". CAT preparation won't be sufficient enough for GMAT and the same holds true if you are preparing for GMAT. This is because the intention to check on the areas are very different in both the exams. CAT tests your ability mainly on your 1- Quantitative abilities 2- Data Interpretation/ Logical Reasoning and 3- Verbal Ability. GMAT on the other side tests your, quant, Verbal, AWA, IR. You may think Quant and Verbal overlap in both but this isn't enough as the difficulty is not the same in both. Quant in CAT is at a higher level than GMAT. Similarly Verbal scores point in GMAT over qu

Hi,
You have to essentially focus on pursuing your PGDM, from the top 30 B Schools in India. It is only then, that your degree will be valued and respected by the corporate world. These B Schools accept only CAT scores. There is nothing great about the CAT exam. It is purely a hype. You have to aim at scoring a minimum of 98 percentile in the CAT exam. Being a CAT trainer, for the last 15 years, putting in two hours of focused study daily for three months, is more than enough. Believe in yourself and take it up as a challenge.

Hi,
Taking into consideration your score you have a quite decent academics, if you want to get a decent college just concentrate to make your basics stronger and make your concepts stronger and apply it in different manner and solve more mock tests so that you won't face difficulty or have nervousness at finals, if you'll do this it will fetch you a quite good college and 85 percentile and above would land you in a pretty good college if you want to get first tier colleges then try to get 95 percentile and above.

Your academic scores are certainly good but your aggregate score of graduation may not help you qualify to be eligible to sit for many interviews but yes there are certain organisations that overlook the academic scores until and unless you possess practical knowledge enough to clear the interviews. Apart from the eligibility criteria, academic scores are no longer a parameter to judge the real time practical and industrial knowledge. But, yes, many organisations do hold relaxation criteria also wherein the candidate who has brilliant scores in class 10th and 12th, they might relax the eligibility percentage for graduation to lower per
