Shiksha Top Questions

Never ever go to Mumbai campus. If you want to do BBA from Amity University then only go to its Noida campus. Private universities have the habit of broadcasting all this through paid advertising. It's good enough for academics but not good for placements. I can have another option like Christ University on this but it would not be very much different. In today's times even MBA's from normal colleges/universities are struggling to get good jobs so you can imagine where BBA's would be valued in the market. There is no doubt Amity spends lot of money for advertisement. My only advice will be to keep Amity at last option. Moreover, Amity is not a bad college.

It is actually more difficult to prepare for CAT when you have the whole year to prepare! The pressure brought about due to the double-digit countdown of days to CAT is actually the best kick-in-the-ass needed to get started. This is particularly effective when you have just 3-4 months to prepare starting from scratch. But you have to be regular - at least a couple of sectional tests and a-once-a-week full-length Mock CAT is the right way forward.
2. Screw theory and classroom coaching, yes, screw them both. You will waste your time in crash-courses especially if you are a working person. You will only exhaust yourself and have to undergo a heavy course in a short period of time. The thing is, every CAT taker is almost unique in terms of topics of ease and topics of discomfort. So sit down alone at home (or maybe with a small group of blokes preparing seriously for CAT with you) and focus on your weak areas initially and towards the last few weeks, master all your strong areas again. Join a test series that offers sectional tests, topic-wise tests and full-length Mock CATs (especially if conducted at the national level).
3. Analyze performances in Mock CATS Everyone reiterates it and almost always does this advice go unheard. Don't give 20 Mock CATs and feel good about yourself. Give one or at most two Mock CATs in any given week and spend ages analyzing everything. Most people get even this part wrong. Analyze does not mean checking which all questions you got wrong alone. Pay heed to the topics and types of questions that you are consistently doing well at. Find these questions in your real CAT and tackle them ASAP once the test begins. Also, your analysis should reveal to you which areas are hurting you - in terms of time spent as well as in terms of accuracy. If you have over a month to go, focus on improving these areas. Else forget them and avoid them at all costs in the actual CAT.
4. Breaks in between sessions of study. They're more important than you think. Absorb all you have learnt in a session rather than running through a gamut of concepts and applying only a few of them ahead.
5. Take a simple problem and try solving it in many different ways. It helps you cultivate a quick-thinking ability and gives you contingency strategies in case you get stuck in the real CAT.
Those apart, chill out lots. A calm head with perhaps a gentle buzz of tranquility can get you a higher percent

It is because they profit highly from this or are controlled by powerful people.
Many of the local private MBA colleges are always looking for making extra bucks and what is better than giving backdoor admissions to students with rich parents. Such colleges profit highly from this and don't want to stop it. In some cases it is due to pressure from powerful people. Let's say there is some industrialist who gives regular donations of large amounts and one day he asks them to give his son admission there. If they deny it, they will be losing all the future donations from that guy. So they comply. In other scenarios the student may be in relation to some political leader or the committee of the college. The truth is most of these colleges don't try to stop backdoor entries. The more such entries the more profit for them.
