Hello,

Management has major domains like Finance, Operations, Strategy, Marketing, Information Technology, Human Resource and other minor domains.

A Management course (MBA/IPM), which is all about business operations and people management.

IIMs, especially the old ones, are India's premium institutes because of their great quality of education, faculty and infrastructure. The results are clearly seen from the students graduating from those colleges.

So if they are making brilliant managers, they require the best minds of India, hence the CAT which is a race against time and packed with negative marking scheme and tests endurance, accuracy and focus. So CAT becomes a major filter for IIMs to filter out the best minds and then filtering them even more by WAT/GD-PI process before admission.

Work Experience is advised but not having one won't create any Problem for your selection cause most of the pervious 1-2 year batches have 50% of freshers.

That's the reason the avg. Cutoff for IIMs lie between 95 to 100 percentile. And the categories have their own cutoffs.

Remember one thing, The logic is more about beating the game instead of winning the game. I mean, it's not about how many questions you attempt but it's about how many you let go cause you know the answer You got might be incorrect. The ability to let go of few questions is one of the major winning tricks in a examination like CAT which is a race against time and packed with negative marking scheme.

So there is this link which can help you with detailed CAT prep and so will many other CAT coaching classes, https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://bschool.careers360.com/articles/cat-when-and-how-start-preparations/amp&ved=2ahUKEwjE8M7_vOrhAhWK63MBHYiEDzoQFjATegQIBhAB&usg=AOvVaw3wpWyn9MB0MhMz31UyIRQD&ampcf=1

The real tricks lay beyond the syllabus and that's what you need to master. Its about ability to crack examinations instead of cracking the syllabus.

Hope this helps.

All the best!

Hi Lokesh, you can very much get admissions into IIMs if you get a high score of 99+ percentile and a good WAT/PI. You have to justify the gap after your graduation in 2016 till now to convince the interviewers.

Hope this answer helps. All the best.
