  • Neha: Hello sir,
  • Counselor: Hi Neha
  • Neha: I am thinking of applying for an MBA later this year. Could you please advise me if I should go for CAT given my background?
  • Counselor: Neha, Since you come from an Arts background and a very good college , I think an MBA should be a good career choice for you. Given your background you can take CAT 2012. CAT is the most sought after BSchool Entrance exams in India. Taking CAT will have help you apply to many other good MBA colleges too as CAT score is accepted across a number of colleges. You should simultaneously prepare and take FMS entrance , XLRI entrance and IIFT. These are some of the few notch colleges which do not accept CAT score and have their own entrance examination.
  • Neha: How should I go about preparing for CAT?
  • Counselor: Look Neha , I have met people who have converted IIM A calls by just 3 months of sincere preparation. To prepare for CAT in an effective way you should consider on building your CONCEPTS and SPEED. Concepts would come by reading basics Maths and English till Class 10th Level. Speed wil come by solving more and more questions. Ideally a 3 – 4 hour sincere preparation over 6 months would suffice.
  • Neha: What institute do you recommend for preparing for CAT?
  • Counselor: Neha, all institutes have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Cracking Exams like CAT or XAT is mainly dependent on your preparation and coaching institutes just help you to provide a structure to your preparation. Beyond that its all you effort. So I would suggest joining any good institute in your vicinity. Rather than going to a slightly better institute at a far away location which will take a couple of hours to commute I would rather suggest going to a closer by institute and saving those precious hours to devote to your preparation.
  • Neha: I didn't manage to get any IIM calls, but I feel I have a decent CAT score, could you advise me of some other good options which I can look for?
