Never had I thought in wildest of my dreams, when I was studying in nursery and K.G. that the ‘C’ for CAT will haunt like hell, change my life and make it crazy! Cat, for me, just followed a mouse, drank some milk and ran away. but CAT, for now, follows me Drinks my blood […]

Post a 50% plus drop in MBA applications this year, the Department of Technical Education (DTE), Maharashtra, in quick time, managed to do away with CMAT and bring back the MH-CET.

Decision Making for XAT is often neglected by students while preparing for XAT and at their own peril. Some of the students don’t even realise that it is a whole section in XAT and its score will be used while giving out calls to students. Given below is a table which shows the number of […]

Next question that’s in the line after taking the exam is “My attempts in Quant are A with B% accuracy and in Verbal it is C with D% accuracy. How much %ile can I expect??” I am sure such questions could send even the Quant masters in a dizzy… Then again we have many aspirants […]
