Shiksha Top Questions

The placements are decent from the campus offered to both the modes on-campus and off-campus. The majority of companies coming to campus are very good in giving package and profile to the candidates. The major specializations are Marketing, HRM, Finance and Operations. So, if you are into any of these courses, full support from the institute in terms of placement would be provided to you. There is a dedicated placement cell which is on the move for providing a good opportunity to the candidate in terms of placement. So, don't worry, you would be provided with a good placement opportunity. The major sectors are BFSI, IT, Consulting, FMCG, Manufacturing, etc. The average package is about 4 LPA from the institute so if you are able to get a good package then you would surely get a good ROI.
Hope this information helps.

There are several common mistakes done by the students:
1. Not having a proper timetable:
Many of the students do not have their timetable which is the most and which is not being followed by them as they prepare timetable but didn't follow them.
2. Not revising properly
Students think that they do not need revision as they have done this before but it's totally wrong. Revision is a must to increase your speed to increase your knowledge. When you revise for your topics in the exam, you can easily solve day without taking more time.
3 Missing mock test
A lot of students do not give the mock test and they directly go for the exam. In this, they are making the biggest mistake because mock test help you for your final exam and while preparing for mock test, you are preparing for your finals. Also mock test gives you an idea about how much you can score in final.
4. Not clearing the doubts
Just once, don't feel shy to clear the doubts. If you have some doubts at that time you should ask your faculty and clear those doubts.
5 Not analysing their mock test
After giving the mock test, they just check the result. They do not analyse the question paper that what types of mistakes they have done where they didn't perform well. This over-analysis should be done by students while preparing
These are few common mistakes done by the students while preparing for IIFT if they avoid these mistakes then they easily crack all the exams for MBA for MBA entrance like IIFT, SNAP, CET, CAT, MAT, GMAT, NMAT and XAT.

There is no cut-off for CA course. First of all, going for CA you need to give the post-exam called as CPT which is the entrance exam for CA course. You need to get at least 50% in this exam and the sectional cut-off is more than 40%. After passing CPT, the next is IPCC which is going to be into groups. Facebook contents cut-off of 200 out of 400 and second group is of 300 marks cut-off is 150 in this both groups in each subject you need to score more than 40% and your aggregate marks should be more than 50% in each group. After that, you are going to give 3-years articleship and after completing your articleship, you are going to give CA final exam. CA final exam also contains the same role. You should score more than 50% and in the sectional, you should score more than 40%. One thing I would like to tell you is that after passing CPT, when you are going for IPCC if you feel in any one of the subjects or your aggregate is not getting more than 50% but in any one of the subject you should have scored more than 60%. At that time, you are going to get an exemption that is you are not supposed to give that subject again in the next attempt.

A job with studies becomes a hectic task. But there are many people who do both at the same time.
Firstly, you need to plan and organize your activities. Like the time remaining after work hours, effective utilization of this time is needed.
Also, time spent in traveling should be utilized.
Start reading a newspaper like The Hindu, Editorial section to improve in verbal section.
Also, keep formula's /basic concepts ready on cards. So that you could read these cards during breakfast or idle time.
Also during lunch break or so see, News channels.
Things will become easy once you are sorted with the correct utilization of available time. CAT requires hard work, and there is no exception to this hard work. Eventually, these efforts will sail you through exams and make life better once you get a good college.
Also "Change of subject is rest to mind", so keep doing different subjects (Maths, LR, Verbal) inrotation.
Sometimes when tired, watch an English movie (will improve verbal).
This helps you keep work-life balance and prepare you for MBA.
All the best.

CAT is an exam where your basics need to be strong. They will ask you questions anyhow by combining two topics together or putting up a single topic example in a unique and different way.
The main topics that a student should prepare would be time distance, time speed, probability, ages, dice, ratio and proportions, etc., from Quants.
Verbal is considered to be the most difficult area in CAT exam as you need to have a strong hold on English language i.e you must be having a very good vocabulary, grammar should be perfect, etc.
For Reasoning, your focus should be on matrix puzzles, coding-decoding, sequential output, etc.
You need to be very strong in verbal and reasoning to crack CAT as these are the two main sections where you can score more than others if you practice well.
So, start with basics as those are the most important ones.

Best coaching institutes for CFA are:
Shah Classes (Sir Laukik Shah): Being the oldest coaching institute, seniors I know studied with him. He made a name for having a monopoly in the CFA coaching industry a decade back. At that time, there were no options, you see. The passing score was high in CFA exams overall, as much as ninety percent at that time, so that was in his favor. In fact, he himself confessed in the demo session that he hasn't cleared even the first level of CFA. However, there were no other options from where one could learn the CFA, other than him, at that time.
Finstructor: I almost decided on joining this institute but later, I dropped the idea as I learned that the founder has handed over the Finstructor franchise to other professors to let them use the brand which he created.
V D Shah: Inexperienced tutor, so obvious problems associated with not being experienced like silly mistakes in formulas or keeping his book open while writing a formula, (he himself says he can't remember a few formulas). But I admit that he logically, step by step derives every formula & also gives some practical valuation stories regarding it.
FinTree: The decade old FinTree (Pune branch) is awesome. Everything's great, the teaching pace (slow pace & day long lectures), the support for doubt solving and all I've heard about this institute is good. When it comes to FinTree-Mumbai, I think it loses its charm a bit.
