hey,good to see so many people around.
Sorry for not replying earlier on..
I am going to be taking CAT the first time.
I guess, the common argument that being an engineer-in-the-making i shouldn't find quant that hard doesn't hold good in my case.
I am not great at it. So much so, that i have not even worked on my BRM's for quant.
Verbal is more my forte.
At least i enjoy verbal.Logical Reasoning is good fun , so that's okay too.
I have big-time problems with DI .
How about you guys?Strengths?Weakness?

Engineers doing well in quants is just a myth.Anybody in this country can get a engineering seat, so you are not alone .In fact mastering verbal is more difficult than quants and you are at an advantage actually.And about DI you can improve DI only thru practice . You will feel comfi when mocks start though you may not do well initally .

Cant agree more.
In fact being an engineer and seeing several classmates take CAT with me I feel engineers struggle as much as others if not more.Come on CAT maths is just High school mathematics twisted a bit
And the high proportion of engineers making it to IIM's each year can be explained by the fact that most students in India just take up either engineering or medical after XII.
What about the recent increase in doctors making it to the IIM's? Where do they get their Maths from?

but the biggest benefit to engineers is that they are in constant touch wid maths..
for ppl like me of commerce background we dont even touch maths after Xth..
and thts y we lag behind in this section...and for the reason of most engineers getting into IIm's
1) ur rite - atlst 3-4 lakh engineers pass out every year...no odr field can even come close
2) gr8 minds of IIT's, NIT's coll like DCE , NSIT and other gr8 eng coll..these ppl take a hefty no of seats in IIM's..and they do deserve also...

Not trying to argue here but engineers and maths there is not much connection buddy I mean theoretically yes we are supposed to be in touch and know mathematics inside out
And there is an additional handicap for us.Ask any engineer to multiply a pair of double digit numbers and give him a paper n pen as well.You will find him searching desperately for his "scientific calculator"
Trust me CAT is a level playing field
