I understand your situation, Aishwarya. Preparing for the CAT while balancing your final year of engineering can be challenging, especially without coaching. However, with dedication and the right approach, it's definitely possible to crack the exam.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Assess Your Strengths and Weaknesses:

  • Practice Regularly: Solve as many CAT questions as possible to identify your strengths and weaknesses.
  • Focus on Weak Areas: Devote more time to areas where you struggle, such as VARC.

2. Build a Strong Foundation:

  • Basic Concepts: Ensure you have a solid understanding of basic grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension techniques.
  • Practice Reading: Develop a habit of reading newspapers, books, and articles regularly to improve your reading speed and comprehension.

3. Effective VARC Preparation:

  • Practice RCs: Solve a variety of RC passages from different topics to get comfortable with different styles and difficulty levels.
  • Analyze Answers: Understand why the correct answer is correct and why the incorrect options are wrong.
  • Seek Guidance: If you're struggling with VARC, consider joining online forums or communities where you can discuss questions and get help from others.

4. Online Resources:

  • Free Online Courses: Utilize platforms like Coursera, edX, and Khan Academy for free online courses on CAT preparation.
  • Mock Tests: Take as many mock tests as possible to assess your progress and identify areas for improvement.

5. Create a Study Plan:

  • Time Management: Allocate specific time slots for CAT preparation, considering your academic commitments.
  • Consistency: Stick to your study plan and avoid procrastinating.

6. Stay Motivated:

  • Set Goals: Break down your goal of getting into IIMB into smaller, achievable targets.
  • Celebrate Achievements: Reward yourself for your progress to stay motivated.

While coaching can be helpful, it's not essential. With dedication, perseverance, and effective study strategies, you can definitely crack the CAT and achieve your goal of getting into IIMB.

Remember, starting now is a great decision. The earlier you begin, the more time you'll have to improve your skills and build confidence. Good luck!

I scored 80.8 parcent in my 10th grade and 85.16 in my 12th grade. Can i get into IIM Ahemdabad OR IIM BANGALORE if I get a very good score in my CAT? Please guide me.

Tanya Gupta 25th Jan, 2024

Hello,


Getting into top business schools like IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Bangalore is highly competitive and admission decisions are based on various factors which includes CAT scores, academic performance, work experience, and more. While having a very good score in CAT is important, it's not the only criteria for admission. It's also essential to have a well-rounded profile and stand out in other areas.

Since you don't have good academics, I suggest you to perform well in your graduation and also build you profile by doing courses, extra curricular activities and most importantly internships. This will help you standout along with your brilliant CAT score.

Hopw this helps,

Thank you

I got 96% in cbse class 12th and 86% in cbse class 12th(Science-PCM). I am B.tech Graduate.Can I get the IIM Bangalore call if I score above 99.90%ile in CAT

Garima Sihag 7th May, 2024

Yes, scoring above 99.9 percentile in CAT significantly increases your chances of getting a call from IIM Bangalore,  with your academic background. Here's why:

  • High CAT Score: A score exceeding  99.9 percentile is exceptional and puts you amongst the top candidates vying for admission. IIM Bangalore prioritizes  CAT scores heavily in the shortlisting process.

  • Strong Academics: Your 96% in CBSE 12th and a B.Tech degree demonstrate a solid academic foundation, which IIM Bangalore also considers during shortlisting.

However, the shortlisting process is multifaceted:

  • Other Factors: IIM Bangalore considers other factors beyond CAT scores, such as your work experience (if any), XAT score (if you appear for it), academic diversity, gender diversity, and performance in the interview and Written Ability Test (WAT) stages (if shortlisted).

Here's what you can do to strengthen your application:

  • Focus on WAT and PI: If you receive a shortlist, prepare extensively for the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI). These stages assess your communication, soft skills, leadership potential, and suitability for the program.

  • Work Experience (if applicable): If you have work experience, highlight your achievements and how they align with your chosen IIM Bangalore program.

Overall, with a stellar CAT score and a strong academic background, you have a very good chance of getting a call from IIM Bangalore. But remember to prepare comprehensively for the other stages of the selection process.

I have an aggregate percentage of 76% in BCom, 92.5% in 10th, and 94.8% in 12th. Do BCom marks play a significant role in determining my admission to IIM Bangalore? Im yet to give my CAT exam, so with high CAT scores and with the present academic situation is there a good chance to get in?

Khyati Khushalani 20th Jun, 2022

Hello aspirant,

to get admission in IIM B, you firstly have to score good in CAT,because you will get a call from college only when your score of cat matches the cutt off, so firstly u need to focus on cat score...Also, the scores which you have in your college, 10th and 12th are pretty good which can give you a good chance of getting admission in iim b, its just you have to work hard in CAT to get a call from them. Also after giving cat you can add various other cerfication courses or experience in your portfolio..which is also plays a vital role at the time of interview and when they check your academics
