I am assuming you are from general category. Based on your overall academic profile, you will need to score atleast 99.6 percentile to get a call for the next round.

All the best!

A high percentage of working professionals appear for CAT and such candidates are usually seen juggling between their 9 to 5 jobs and exam preparation. After a hectic day at work, it gets really difficult to grab books and focus on studying. This may sound like something impossible but then there have students who have not just cracked the exam but obtained a 99+ percentile.



Reignite the study mode in you by looking at interesting ways of preparing for the exam amidst office assignments and high work pressure. You can use a break for an hour or half from office work to go through a word list or solve puzzles to boost verbal and logical reasoning skills. Instead of using a calculator, start doing mental calculations whenever you get a chance to play with numbers. You can also use your office travel time to develop a reading habit. Going through newspaper editorials for improving vocabulary and reading informative magazines may also help.



One of the most crucial aspects of your preparation is the time that you devote to your studies. If you are working 5-6 days in a week for 9-10 hours daily, then spending approx 2 hours everyday on your CAT preparation is enough. However, try stretching your preparation time to 8-10 hours over the weekend. Prepare a time table that you can follow and adhere to it no matter what.

Choose well from all available resources on the Internet, some are available for free while others may be not. There are also websites that offer free test series. You can also attend online courses and lectures from the comfort of your home and also interact with fellow MBA aspirants to discuss preparation strategies.



Aim scoring a percentile above 99 to get shortlisted for IIM A/B/C for futher selection rounds like GD/PI/WAT.



Good Luck!
