Hello Puys,


Lets kick start the preparation for brand new season of CAT.

We had a similar thread last year and it really helped us a lot . With my previous stints with CAT , i have realized that it really helps if you have a group of serious students.Peer motivation always keeps u floating , it never lets you drown and keeps u motivated.

This thread will definitely try to solve all our queries.

I would request all the junta from Pune (and from everywhere in this world) to join this Study Group thread . Just because it is named Pune study group doesn't means Puys from other places can't participate. We would appreciate the contribution of PUYS from all the places.

In order to get the maximum benefit from this thread , please be active otherwise u won't be able to appreciate the advantages that it can fetch you.

What all would be here on this thread ,
--------> Schedules for preparation.
--------> Strict discipline for study plan .
--------> Sharing experience of previous attempts.
--------> Mocks Discussions and methods to improve the scores.
--------> Regular meets in PUNE , weekly basis.
--------> Sharing materials and mocks on personal basis.
--------> Discussions on which colleges to be aimed for.
--------> Keeping everyone on the thread motivated.
--------> Keeping everyone well informed about the latest ongoings related to CAT and other exams.
--------> Which coaching institutes to join .
--------> Would be fun and great learning .

Few Rules
--------> Do not post ur contact details like mobile number or email, u can always PM it .
--------> No Personal attacks, advertisement , spamming , sarcasm, abusive words, innuendoes and rude behavior.

I would request Mods and older PUYS to help us in achieving our Goal.

It may be difficult alone but together We Can.
Lets make our MBA dream true.

All the Best.

Regards
Sushil Patil.

@theempror64 Hello,
I am joining Genesis Mentors but while counselling the faculty told me that the place is good for Experienced people....
You can go and counsel from Time, Career Forum, Career Launcher & GM and join whichever you feel like joining...
I got 3879 Rank (208 marks) in Sep. CMAT & expecting more in Feb. CMAT too...

I am B.Tech in Computer Science from ICFAI-Tech & My total work experience so far is 2.5 years as Software Engineer

I am applying to about 7-8 MBA colleges, whose cut offs I believe I am most likely to qualify.

However, I have a 3 year GAP after 12th (was preparing for competitions). I will be extremely grateful if you tell me how can I justify that Gap in the best possible way @ Interviews ??
@sushilpatil86 ya Go for GM if u atleast Once gave CAT :P....for more details PM

Reading here off the forum, I mostly have heard of +ves of GM, any ideas regarding the other options viz times, cl etc considering that I am a fresher and I need a coaching which starts from scratch.....

@theempror64 You can go and counsel at CL & CF as well....
GM is good but it is not a bad idea to roam and find out which coaching suits you best....
