Hi Zainab,

I am not aware whether you have prepared earlier and for revision, you are searching for a crash course or you will study from the crash course directly. If you are under the 1st above-mentioned category then try contacting the coaching centres there for the crash course; it will be cheaper than the general course. You can go for second-hand or used books for practice if you are not able to afford first hand. You can refer mylaw.net for some guidance.

If you fall under the 2nd category then drop this year for CLAT; work on your boards properly score well then appear for CLAT next year because CLAT needs analytic concept and speed and both needs practice and can't be achieved in a crash course

Hello,

There are books that are recommended as better ones for mechanical engineering for gate which I am going to mention below. But I would suggest you to follow the hand written notes (which can be downloaded online) from various coaching institutes. Because, the text books have all the matter included and if it is from the coaching institute then they will guide you properly  on which of the chapters, you have to put more stress and also the problems materials, they provide is quite helpful and they aree like the model ones like in the gate. Here are some link and books, that will help you

Hello Ravi,

Well, to answer your first question, you definitely have to start your preparations early for the CAT exam if you wish to get into IIMs. I would suggest getting a couple of years of post qualification work experience under your belt before applying to a reputed B school. Start your CAT prep once you join your first job but be committed to sitting for CAT, as a lot of people lose interest once they start receiving a steady flow of earnings in their hands. If you feel that you are not able to get much done through self-study, join at a coaching institute, wherein you at least will be in touch with the subjects.

But if you feel like once you start doing a job or anything else, you won't be able to leave it in the middle or devote that much time for CAT, because of the hectic office schedule then plan your preparations for CAT in such a way that you could appear for it in the year of completing your CA and CMA or maybe the next year. Though my suggestion would be next year as CA and CMA are a lot of pressure already and you should focus on passing with a good grade in both although you will require a lot of effort, so start your prep right after your exams get over in June. Another reason why you should be focusing on your CA and CMA results right now is that IIM Bangalore and IIM Indore has additional weightage in the selection procedure for commerce professionals (CA, CS, CMA). However, to be considered, you would have to pass the sectional as well as the overall cut-offs in the CAT.

The CAT tests you on math that might require tremendous practice. I would suggest that you first finish your CA finals, and then take up preparations for the CAT with all your might at once. Both exams require tremendous effort to crack, and I would not suggest compromising your performance in one by simultaneously preparing for the other.

Plus, being a CA, you might have a small advantage, as all MBA colleges look for a good mixture of candidates and they definitely will give a CA a preference when your CAT score is similar to others in the pool.

If you wish to do your MBA from the top IIM,s then a 99.2+ percentile is required to get a call from the top four IIM's. You would get a lot of preference most of the candidates applying will be engineers. However, you should get that top percentile required to get a call from one of the four IIM,s.

The final decision is always upon you my friend. Choose wisely and have a great future!

Hi Vivek , 

Looking at your experience it is not suggested to wait for another year for getting into PGDM but you can get into Executive PGP programs which are designed for expereinced professionals by a few IIMs including IIM Kozhikode.Coming to your CAT score this year , you did not cross the cut off in your DI LR section so you may not receive a call from any IIMs although your overall score crossed the cut off. I suggest you to get into Executive PGP programs next year.

Hello,

There are many coaching centres in Nagpur for JEE preparation. According to me these are the best institutes which I mentioned below:

Dear Arik, I want to tell you of an incident that happened when I was preparing for EAMCET. It is a State Level Entrance Examination for admission into Medical and Engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh. One of the aspirants from the previous year scored 100% in the entrance examination. Now that was a wonder because the paper was tough. So, the authorities decided to see how he/she scored 100%. What they saw was the most foolish act by a student. He/she rounded of all the options for every answer in the OMR. For example, for Question no. 1, he chose all the answers and rounded off A,B,C,D with the pencil. So ideally, there will be one right answer for every question and the Electronic correcting system will check if the right answer is chosen or not and that's how he/she scored 100%. What happened later is irrelevant but that's an example of smartness taking a wrong route. Now coming to your question, you know that is a silly mistake to commit and when it is about your career, it is a grave mistake. Even going by the rule of probabilities, you cannot predict the outcome of an event until the results are there for everyone to see. You might get 80+ or might not get 80+. But your question should be is it worth wasting an attempt trying to give it to throw a stone in the dark. If it hits then its fine but if you miss it, you lose an attempt.
