I had been in same situation this yr. I am sharing my personal experience. Many times coaching institute classes are not much helpful but they help to focus on CAT studies. Initially I thought of self study but I was very irregular in studies. After joining coaching class, I somehow able to get time for studies.

If u r strongly motivated, u can do self study. But if u can be distracted, then better join coaching institutes. And the most important thing "Do Join CAT test series." They r very very helpful.... best of luck...

So i wanted to know if there is an institute in Bangalore suitable for working junta as in where i don't end up wasting my time...

hey! me too at CTS
watever u said makes sense... no point going thru basics all over again... if u think u're cool wid basics, i'd suggest u wait for sometime and join some crash course.. there'er plenty of good ones in blore.. keep a check. But if ure really keen to learn somethin cool, while lookin for somethin more than jus rona-dhona-old tutorial stuff.. i'd suggest u check out this guy called Byju. A lot of CTSites go to him.... btw... which buildin are u? BTP by any chance? wats your ID... maybe we can meet.

hi puys,
you can have the CAT 2009 discussions at the following thread...
http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/cat-an...2009-puys.html (Calling all CAT 2009 puys!!)
other new threads shall be opened soon...

[jain.er]

I am expecting a large no of calls (None from IIM) and I desparately want to convert one one . I have experience of 18 months in
it industry and I have been kicked out twice fron interviews of reputed B-schools last year.
Now shall I resign/take leave from the comapny or continue i cant decide. The lure of filthy lucre is making me continue. I mean who will like to take a hit of 70 - 80 K Rupees

An assumption that everyone from this thread will be giving CAT 09 would not be a very wise one to make. I am sure there are lots of people in this thread who must have done well in CAT 08 and other exams this year. ANd I am sure they would want this thread to be active till the end of this season as a good amount of camaraderie has been developed among the regular visiotrs of this thread. So hence this thread will not be closed till some more time

PS: Had to post this becasue of repeated requests from raghav to close this thread

Hi,

I opened this thread long time back to share my personal opinion.
Thanks to Raghav to keep this thread alive.

I just wanted to share I got calls from IIM B, IIM I and IIM L.

I am also eager to know how other work ex guys fare?
I am doing nothing for GD PI yet.
Missed CL Bootcamp for personal engagement.

Lets see what destiny has planned for me.
All The Best to all of you.

hi bhai logon,
thanx for such a warm response from your side...
even i couldn't get any IIM call with a meager score of 97.1x but i am banking on some other calls...
lets see what is stored in for us this season...

@arun bhai, i believe there are other batches of boot camps being started at CL...
you must get in touch with them and get the info...
also, consider this as a lifetime opportunity (do or die)...
that will do a lot good to you...
you can easily convert this yaar...
best of luck...

@jayaram, as a personal view i am going to join a b-school this year if i convert any...(amen )
coz i don't have much problems if i don't get IIMs or XL...
its just that i am quite bored of IT field and just want to change my line...
also at this score you must get calls from NITIE n MDI easily and believe me they are good colleges...unless you have that "IIM hi jana hai attitude"
rest is your take entirely...
best of luck...

[Whetstone]

hey all,
Managed a 96.89 in cat...dont have an inkling on whats in store..just going with the flow...of course..no calls till now
2 n a half yrs into a job and am already hitting the ceiling!
