Shiksha Top Questions

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 as this is comparatively easier than the others. You should focus on Data Sufficiency, Bar Graph, Tables, Case-lets and Pi-charts.
Verbal and Reading Comprehension:
You need to be proficient in words to crack this section. Learn 5-10 words every day. Focus on fill in the blanks, grammar, para completion, para jumble, word usage and verbal reasoning.
Usually, there is no GK in CAT.
To crack CAT, you need utter dedication and you should be very hard working or a genius in mathematics and reasoning.

I would add to the previous answer Career Launcher/TIME are the most dignified coaching institutions when it comes to CAT/ CMAT/GMAT. Since TIME is more in number in Maharashtra, you can take an admission in it.
TIME offers two types of course method:
It is basically full course or a crash course or both.
When there is a comparison done between both, it seems that TIME does not follow any fixed curriculum. Whereas, Career Launcher has its books published.
Either way, both have a strong study material.
Both institutions have flexibility in their timings but Career Launcher seems to have a personal touch.
The lectures usually are conducted on weekends in both the institutions.
If you want to have my personal suggestion then I would choose Career Launcher it is more pocket-friendly and will give you great attention.
Great support is offered by both regarding the examination and the rules which have to be followed.

The verbal ability section of IBSAT exam is classified into following parts
- Vocabulary Usage
- Para Jumble
- English Grammar
- Replace the missing words
- English Usage
Few tips and tricks for IBSAT Preparation are
- The first step to follow is IBSAT previous years question papers in order to understand the structure of the exam. You may also try solving them within the 120 minutes and examine the answers after completing the paper.
- Make sure to check the speed while solving the questions. Time management plays a very critical role as the candidates will get more than a minute for each question. To improve this part, solve sample papers and try mock tests.
- Since IBS is a Computer Based test, the candidates are recommended to appear for as many mock tests as possible. The online mock test will offer a similar atmosphere as that of the exam.
- Do not lose confidence and do not get anxious in the exam or solving the sample papers. Go through the questions cautiously and try to comprehend them and then solve them.
- Try reading newspapers, magazines, novels, books, journals, etc. for a better hold over vocabulary.

There are many short courses that you can do along with B.Com. You can do certification courses in IT. You can also do part-time Diploma courses during the weekend. There are many short courses available like Diploma in financial management, Diploma in banking.
I would suggest the below options:
1. NCFM certifications for Stock Market
2. Tally software course
3. Good computer skills course, which includes typing and MS Office
4. A Foreign language can be opted.
5. Advanced Diploma in Financial Accounting & Taxation
6. Certificate in Accounting Technicians (CAT)
7. Diploma in Accounting & Auditing
8. Diploma in Banking & Insurance Management
9. Diploma In Stock Analysis and Trading (DSAT)
10. Diploma in GST Rules & Procedures

The choice is tough, but the point is that both the colleges are equally good. I have a friend from LSR and I can tell you from her experience that LSR teaches you a lot more than SRCC.
When it comes to placements, SRCC being the commerce-focused college provides better placements than LSR.
SRCC being ranked as the top college to pursue a course related to commerce studies for years now has proved to be the best college for both B.Com and M.Com. With cut-offs reaching the 100% mark, it has now become a dream for every student to get admission here. Founded in 1926, Sri Ram College of Commerce is known not only for its academic excellence but also for the extra-curricular opportunities it offers. The commitment to ECA, talks, seminars and academics equally good when we talk about SRCC. I would suggest SRCC any day when it comes to a better college in each and every aspect for M.Com.

I would suggest Career Launcher/TIME are the most dignified coaching institutions when it comes to CAT/ CMAT/GMAT.
Career Launcher offers two types of course method so does TIME.
It is basically Full course or a crash course or both.
When there is a comparison done between both, it seems that TIME does not follow any fixed curriculum. Whereas, Career Launcher has its books published.
Either ways both have a strong study material.
Both institutions have flexibility in their timings but Career Launcher seems to have a personal touch.
The lectures usually are conducted on weekends in both the institutions.
If you want to have my personal suggestion then I would choose Career Launcher. This is due to the personal touch and the close attention which they give to their students.
Great support is offered by them regarding the examination and the rules which have to be followed.

Hey there,
The straight answer is join engineering to feel the thrill. I bet you, you will get the answer yourself.
An obvious reason is that most bright minds are found in IITs, NITs, IIITs and BITS because one has qualified JEE Advanced (a big deal) and JEE Mains to get into these colleges.
Apart from this, in engineering, during the first year, all the streams have same subjects, mostly, like physics, chemistry, etc. Rest of the years subjects are related to the stream which a student carries on in addition to the additional subjects (mostly one or two). One may even get management, German or French as additional subjects. That's the diversity of the study part.
Most importantly, engineering students are often considered to have an upper hand in management. It is so because, during the course of 4 years, you get to see a lot of fests (technical, sports and cultural) every year managed by students themselves. Moreover, in colleges, you will get a hell lot of clubs according to your interests. So, one ends up packed throughout the year.
According to me, it might be the reason.
