Hello Rishabh,

If not then you will surely get into any of these top institutes.
Try to target IIMs. Even If you fail to achieve your desired percentil

Yes, you can score more than 95 percentile with TIME correspondence course. Only thing is that you must remain focused and motivated throughout your preparation. Apart from just working hard, work smart too. Practice a lot and take mocks to get the exam like feel. Analyse your mocks and find out your weak area and work upon them. I can say please take mocks seriously and never forget to analyse it.
I hope this will help you.
Good luck for your preparation.

Hello Kalyan,
CAT and MAT both are MBA entrance examinations.
Both have almost the same syllabus. Just that the difficulty level of MAT is lower than that of CAT.
CAT is usually taken by students to get into IIMs.
Apart from IIMs, CAT percentile is accepted in almost all the colleges.
Same is not the case with MAT.
You can get detailed information about both the exams here:

Good luck.

Greetings,
There is basically no advantages of SRCC to get admission in CAT.
The only advantage is that if you got selected for the interview in any IIM then it will provide a good reputation for you as you are from a good and famous college. That's the only advantage, but before that, you have to clear CAT.

Hello, there is no need to prepare for CAT right from your second year. Generally, around 6 months of diligent preparation for 3-4 hours daily is enough to score well in CAT. Though you can start your preparations for it, indirectly, by improving your vocabulary (read the editorial columns of leading newspapers and other books, novels, etc) and strengthening your logical reasoning and mental calculation skills (speed maths tricks, logical puzzles, etc). Good luck!

1. Analyse your strengths and weaknesses:
Analyse your strong as well as weak suits in the respective areas - quant, verbal, logical reasoning, data interpretation. Start with the preparation of your weak areas and focus on making them your strong areas.
Begin with the solved examples in the book
Then move onto the unsolved examples
Finally, resort to previous year's CAT papers and monitor your progress.
Thereafter, practice and practice and practice more.
2. Be thorough with your fundamentals:
During the last few days before the exam, the candidates should revise all the basic concepts. Revisions of the fundamentals of each topic are extrem

Hi aspirant.
While preparing for CAT, you are practicing Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation and Logical rezoning, Verbal ability and reading comprehension if I am not wrong. Similarly, SNAP is also a same pattern. Additional subject is General awareness. So, you additionally concentrate on General awareness subject.
Actually, CAT is for 300 marks and SNAP is for 180 marks. So, you can find easy in SNAP if you are well prepared for CAT.
All the best for your future.

6 months is a decent period of time to crack CAT.
In CAT, there are different sections- Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning and Verbal and Reading Comprehension. Each section of the test has a few important topics which you must cover.
Maths:
Students from non-engineering backgrounds are not too comfortable in QA. If you are not an engineering student then you must focus in this section to improve your score, which will impact overall MAT percentile.
The most important topics being - Logarithm, Algebra, Geometry, Permutation and Combination and Probability.
LR/DI:
Again a section where high-scoring can be done

Hi,
I think the only answer to the question is practice as much as you can. In Christ, they don't look at section wise score, so you don't have to worry about it. Don't attempt any question unless you are sure of the answer. If you get an over all 70%, that would be sufficient to be eligible for admission in Christ.
