what is wat pi for cat examination

Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing good. B-School selection process is basically a 2-step process.

• After the entrance test, a Group Discussion (GD) or Written Ability Test (WAT) is scheduled for the ones clearing the entrance test.
• The ones clearing this GD / WAT are made to undergo Personal Interview (PI).

The IIMs and other B-schools admit not just candidates with a high percentile, but those who are great presenter, have sharp communication techniques, and smarter among other candidates. After the announcement of the CAT results, it’s time to focus on the preparations for the next big steps for admission into top IIMs and B-schools.

A candidate is judged and analyzed on the basis of his performance at GD-PI and WAT rounds. It is at this stage that makes or breaks your admission chance into a particular B-School. With a tough competition for the Management seats across B-schools, it is best to prepare yourself with Tips and Guidance from the toppers of top IIM and B-school’s and experts of various coaching institutes.

Group Discussion: It is a discussion in a group of persons who express their views in a free manner upon a topic. It assesses students' personality in terms of both, technique and art and brings out the leaders among others.

Written Ability Test: A Written Ability Test is conducted by the IIMs & other B-schools to test the candidates ability to think critically, communicate the ideas, formulate a constructive critique and write the responses in a given time on paper.

Personal Interview: A Personal Interview is a conversation in which someone is asked about their background, lifestyle, experience. The personal interview with a candidate let the panel evaluate whether or not he / she have the capability and skills required to successfully pursue and develop a career in management.

Hope this answers your question and all the best.
