After 4 years of UPSC preparation, my heart finally sank when I wrote 2026 prelims. I couldn't tolerate this. I am moving forward and enrolling for CAT 2026 so that I restart my career. I took admission in Aptitude360 in sector 34 Chandigarh. Any further guidance & advices. Thanks for your time
Hi,
First of all, it takes a lot of courage to move forward after giving so many years to UPSC preparation. Your decision to restart with CAT 2026 is practical and positive.
Some suggestions for your CAT preparation:
-
Stay consistent with daily practice for Quant, LRDI, and VARC.
-
Since you already have strong discipline from UPSC preparation, use it as your advantage.
-
Focus more on mock tests and analysis rather than only theory.
-
Maintain a realistic target college list and track cut-offs regularly.
-
Avoid comparing your journey with others and focus on steady improvement.
Keep a backup plan ready along with CAT, such as XAT, SNAP, NMAT, etc.
All the best.
