Shiksha Forum - CAT Exam

Hello Vartika,
Let me not misguide you like everyone is doing. I will show you a clearer picture.
*Firstly, Maths is not required for you to 'apply' for CAT/MBA. Anyone from any stream or field can apply for MBA.
*Secondly, every exam of MBA has a section dedicated to 'Quantitative Ability' or Maths. Maths studied upto 10th standard comes in all the exams (basic level). Since CAT is the top most exam in the country, higher maths is included too. So, you need to clear the basics then move a level higher.
*Thirdly, how poor are you in maths? If you are very poor and barely pass, don't give CAT. Give some easier exam instead. If you are average or above average, go for it! Take coaching and learn the tricks of solving. People somehow get into MBA even when they have low aptitude because they apply in below average or average colleges.
* Fourthly, people say that those who aren't good enough in Maths can score well in other sections.
This is a myth. Every section has some weightage. And, Maths' section easily has the highest. #Remember anything is possible. If you badly want to do MBA from the top institute, start to like Maths. If you hate it badly, like I do and don't have a great purpose for getting into MBA/Corporate, then just leave it.
