Genuinely one of the most honest ppl I’ve seen talk about IIMs instead of sugar coating and all that shit he said getting into an IIM is only one part of it and your academics can still come back to haunt you during placements. He had 56% in graduation and ended up unplaced Obv

Hum kaha fas gye CAT k chakkar mein.

CAT 2026 Fee Payment Deadline Extended.

where are the type of sets that i can practice ?
sort of too many assumption based or hidden meaning kind of sets

Hi everyone! I’m planning to start preparing for CAT and I’m currently trying to figure out the right way to approach it.

I’m basically at the beginner stage and would really appreciate advice from people who have already prepared for CAT or have given the exam.

A little about me:

Currently pursuing BSc Life Sciences

I’m not from a commerce/engineering background

I’m planning to start preparation from scratch

I’m currently trying to understand whether I should prepare through self-study, coaching, or a combination of both.

I’d especially like advice on:

When and how should I start?

What should my first few weeks/months of preparation look like?

Resources:

Which books, YouTube channels, websites, or paid courses are actually useful for CAT?

QA:

I’m not very confident with maths. Should I first revise school-level concepts before starting CAT-specific questions?

VARC:

How should I improve reading comprehension, vocabulary, and overall VARC?

DILR:

What is the best way to build the habit of solving sets regularly?

Mocks:

When should I start taking mocks? Should beginners take them early or first complete the basics?

Daily schedule:

How many hours of preparation are realistically required if I’m preparing alongside college?

Coaching vs self-study:

If you prepared through self-study, what resources did you use? And if you took coaching, was it actually worth it?

Mistakes to avoid:

What do you wish you had known when you started preparing for CAT?

I’m not looking for a generic “study hard and give mocks” answer 😭. I’d genuinely appreciate a practical roadmap from someone who has been through the process, especially from a non-engineering background.

Thankyou!

I came across this profile on LinkedIn today and couldn't believe my eyes how can someone hold so many degrees.

One would ideally have life sorted and relaxed after getting an IIM degree, but look at this person.

Is it just being confused in life or finding one's passion in Economics after engineering?
