CAT 2024 or 2025?

Thinking of giving CAT 2024, GEM, 10/9/8, workex will be 12 months, from what IIM's can I expect call from if I score 99+, or what percentile do I have to score to get a call from BLACKI ?

Need some guidance for preparing for GMAT and CAT together in coming months. I have this understanding that pattern is different but underlying syllabus is same. Need nuances to some questions 1. Is this practically possible? 2. What materials to use for preparation 3. How much time is needed for GMAT and will there be sufficient time for CAT 4. Which test series to follow in CAT and GMAT Some context: Giving CAT and GMAT first time. No issues regarding mindset needed for competitive exams as have given them before. Also have mostly weekends for preparation due to job profile.

Hey people, I just started preparing for CAT'24. A bit about myself- Graduated last year, with an Engineering Degree, working as an Associate Product Manager (~1 yr). I've started with IMS modules and solved a few previous year sectionals, not complete papers though. I take out time to study on weekends and on days I work from home. Could anyone suggest a strategy; as to what topics to target first, what modules/ mock series to purchase, if needed etc. Thanks, looking forward to your suggestions.

Anybody appearing for cat 2023 , how is your preparations going on?

Folks, I graduated from a tier 1 commerce college in 2022. Tried taking CAT 2022 and 2023 but couldn't get a good percentile (below 95 both times) I have 2 years of work ex now Shall I take CAT again or go for GMAT from abroad?

Thinking of preparing for top IIMs now. Profile: X/XII/Btech = 86/91/8.96 How much percentile needed for IIM-ABCLKI for a General Engineering Female(GEF)?

I recently came across some articles. https://medium.com/@srikanthp2019/the-intentionally-hidden-truths-of-iim-calcutta-3fc36cfd7e30 https://www.reddit.com/r/CATpreparation/s/JZm34iaRt2 Does ragging of such scale where the seniors time and again disrespect the juniors and humiliate them really happens at top B-Schools( i m talking about IIM A,B,C,L,K,I, FMS, XLRI etc) l. I am from one of an old IIT and haven't faced any ragging or harrasment from seniors over here apart from the freshers party where the seniors themselves told that if you are not comfortable then you can leave. Not one incident after that. Instead it has been a total opposite scenario and the seniors are too helpful here in a variety of ways. I have friends in IIT Bombay, Kanpur and Delhi and they too told me the same thing. I was very surprised and astonished when I found out that kids age 18 years old aren't engaged in ragging at IITs but adults age 23 years+ doing their MBAs are doing the same at IIMs. PS: I plan to pursue an MBA from an IIM in the future but such incidents are a big turn off for me hence I wanted to know the reality.

Hi everyone, I am an engineering student of IT (graduating in 2025) at a tier 2 college (a new iiit), and looking at the market conditions I have decided to pursue mba and have been preparing for CAT 2024 for the past 3 months along with placements preparation. Although I am pretty confident in my CAT preparation (I am getting decent marks in sectional and full length mocks), still anything can happen. And because of CAT preparation I also can't fully focus on my placement preparation (preparing for ML and data scientist roles). To do my best in any one of the two I will have to focus on that one thing so pretty soon I will have to choose one, what should I do? Even if I give my best for my placements I don't think I will end up with a job of more than 7-8lpa.(And this is best case) All of it is very stressful, financially also my family isn't very well to do.

I am planning to give the CAT this year (Nov 2024) but i want to be realistic on whether it can be achieved or not. I am 24 10th - 10 cgpa 12th - 88.2 science Ug Btech - 72 IIT D Obc Work ex of four years in the software industry. my main intention is to shift out from software industry and get into the business/strategy/IB roles, but I would only be inclined to make it to ABC, if thats possible just need the help out here figuring on things, thanks
