CAT ’04 – Few Lessons Learnt & Road Ahead!!

[nfunguy]

Well I've been there..seen that couple of years back. Had my share of disspointments & joys....thats all history now.

Just a quick advice to all you guys...CAT (and IIMs) are not the be-all & end all of your dreams. Except for the Lehmann Brothers & Mckinsey Consultings (which pick only 5-10 ppl every year) most good companies would also visit the XLRIs, XIMBs, IIFTs, FMS, IITs (and sometimes Symbi too). So prepare for all those tests. Each test is different & requires seperate strategy.

Thumbrules (must have learnt this by now)1)DON'T HAVE SET EXPECTATIONS..(you will only screw yourself)!
(2) TAKE YOUR COACHING CLASS ADVICE & MOCK TEST SCORES WITH A PINCH OF SALT.
(3) IN A ONE DAY MATCH, AGGRESIVE & CONFIDENT BATSMEN DO BETTER THAN TECHNICALLY SUPERB BUT INCONFIDENT ONES. SO HOLD YOUR NERVE!!!

All the best
