I have completed my second year at Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad.I have made my mind for CAT,and am studying for it.I have also joined TIME in my city.
here is my profile
10th-83.6
12th-80.8
and the CGPA here is not going good,have a CGPA close to 6.5 now.I am working hard to improve it,I was wondering if it is possible for me to get top IIM's even if I score a great percentile with this CGPA??
What should be my approach now??
Going to coachings, I finds Maths parts easy, but English is not that great.
I completed Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis,and am now about to complete How To Read Faster and Better,and am sticking to it's reading challenges.So besides coaching I read for most of the time.Is there something else I can do??
I am also writing articles now,so that I can have a better grip at my vocabulary,is that a good idea??

7 pointers can make it to IIM's right??

Hi,
I am a Electrical Engineering student in IIT Hyderabad,will complete my second year in a month,I am totally inclined towards CAT now.
My first question is,can I write CAT in my 3rd year itself(just like a mock test)
secondly,I am planning to start my full fledged CAT preperation this summer itself(we have a 3 month summer break,some of us do interns at various places and some do projects here itself,which does not make sense to me much,I mean how is an Electrical Engineering project gonna help me in CAT,so I thought why not give this time in CAT preperation),so I plan to join a coaching this summer,that will be fine right??
I have started preparing by myself already,working on vocabulary mostly
But the problem is I do not have a great CGPA,it's near about to 6.5,and as I am really working hard on my acads from this sem,I guess raising it to 7 in the next 2-3 sems won't be an issue
But is 7 all right??
Besides I have a 80+ in 10th and 12th,and have a good extracurricular record

Hi guys,this is Akshay Pamnani,19,currently doing Electrical engineering from Indian Institute of Technology(IIT) Hyderabad,completed my first year.
I want to start preparing for CAT from now,but don't have the slightest of idea from where to begin,I have a lot of time,3 years to write CAT.
Being an IITian,I have always wanted to be effective,I was never a guy mugging the whole time for JEE,rather I studied daily for some time very effectively.So I am looking for effective ways here for my preperation.
