Test preparation

The best stream is based on your interest and academic background. First, take admission and then decide for the branch because the choice of branch comes in the second year. At that time, you will be able to make up your mind and can then choose the branch. As far as the institute is concerned, IIM is the best in India. For admission in IIM, crack CAT. So prepare for that and attend the various coachings that are there for CAT preparation.

Hello Shantanu!
Well, you need to somehow take out time and study for around 2-3 hours(weekdays) and 6-8 hours (weekends). You can choose to study during your office breaks and while travelling too. You can give mocks on a Sat and analyse it the next day. All the best!
