🐈 CAT Exam 2020-21 Preparation, Exam Dates, Results & Discussion – PaGaLGuY (Part 1)

Khabar hai ye list kasol me banayi jaati hai.

What is the difference in the job roles offered and salaries in MARKETING domain in colleges like IIM ABC, FMS, XL, MDI viz-a-viz SIBM Pune, NMIMS 

And what kind of overlap can we expect in both the set of colleges?

Can anyone please share the cat score vs percentile for 2019? say 90 scaled score for 85 percentile...If not please comment yours this would help for analysis

Idk if this qualifies for AIWTSAC and moreover, this is for those who couldn't convince their Best call/dream college and something to motivate CAT 2P20 aspirants maybe. "Wear your failure as a badge of honor" - Sunday Pichai. No, I'm not advocating failure but failure do help us to appreciate the success even more. Like every MBA aspirant, I also dreamt of getting into IIM-A despite knowing the fact that only ~0.5% of people who appear for CAT actually manage to secure an interview call. Being from a non-maths background, scoring north of 99 percentile in first attempt, along with managing college studies and being among the college toppers, was indeed a difficult task but as the saying goes, "As the going gets tough, the tough gets going". I was extremely delighted to be a part of this 0.5% pool of candidates when I saw the interview schedule mail from IIM-A in my inbox but I didn't celebrate because i knew this was just a small step forward. I started working on enhancing my AWT (Analytical Written Test) skills and preparing for interviews as I wanted to SEIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY (Carpe Diem!). Fast forward to interview day: Being an extrovert, I have a habit of meeting and interacting with people and learn in the process (Trust me, there is something to learn from everybody) and I realized that I was probably the youngest person in the room and was surrounded by CAs,CFAs and IITians. I knew I have to give my best in the interview to stand a chance against them and make up for the work experience and the gender diversity points I'll be losing on. My AWT was something on the lines of millennials preferring to not to marry, in which I think I performed well,with plethora of ideas popping up in my head in those 15 minutes. Then came the most interesting, in-depth and wide ranging interview I ever appeared for, with topics ranging from Portfolio Management to Digital Marketing, Stock Market to Economics,US Elections to Statistical tools. Even after answering all the questions and having a nice talk, I came out of the interview room dejected, knowing I couldn't be the best version of myself in that 30 mins conversation. On the ride back home,i somehow became contended because I enjoyed the interview,I enjoyed interacting with my peers there as there was a different vibe in that room (which was missing in all other top B-School interviews) and it was a day full of learning. Basically,I enjoyed the process (SP Jain was another such process where I enjoyed due to their unique 2 Group Interviews back to back). I'm still in touch with few people I met that day and 2 of them even converted and will be joining #IIMA this year. I couldn't convert IIM-A. Does it mean all my year long hard work went in vain? Not really..Yes, it hurts, it is dissapointing but life goes on. In this ride, i didn't just learn from fellow candidates but also from interviewers. One interviewer explained me lucidly the ML algorithm Facebook uses to suggest us to tag our friends on the pictures we upload, another cared to take me in-depth on Discounted Cash Flow technique to measure the value of shares. Luckily,I have secured admission in one of the best B-Schools of the country, MDI Gurgaon and will be making the most out of it (Yeah, a #ManDevIan now). Remember, It's not the destination that matters, what matters is the journey. So, all those who got rejected by the B-Schools they applied for, don't feel bad. You didn't get rejected because you were bad or unworthy, it's because there were people(mostly) who were better than you but that doesn't make you anything less. Staying self-motivated in this journey (From CAT to GD-WAT-PI to results) is one of the biggest challenges which you overcame and be proud of that. You are a "Beautiful Failure", because you had the guts to see yourself in one of the best B-Schools of the country, vision to see yourself amongst the most knowledgeable minds of the country, and the ability to consider yourself worthy for having that tag against your name, and that my friend, already makes you a CHAMPION.

Any one here bought takshashila course and is it worthy to be brought? And are all the recordings are done ..please comment

Everything's messed up. Disheartened but still want to fight. CAT 2020 it is. Taking up AIMCAT Test Series this time. I'm not TIME student earlier. Can anyone help me get any waiver, if any?

A man borrowed Rs.60,000 at SI, but at different rates for different periods. The rate of interest for first 3 years was 6%pa, for next 2 years it was 7% pa, for next 4 years it was 10% pa and for 10th year it was 9%pa. He made a partial repayment of Rs.35000 at the end of 4 years. If he wants to clear his loan at the end of 10 years, how much should he pay?

Guys if the classes do go online for a semester for all the B-Schools in the country, how much impact will it have on the learning and the group activities. Also do you see people dropping out of the programs and retake CAT again?

Can someone suggest me a good resource to practise VA . I want to score 20+ in this section. I often end up making small mistakes here.

*Le new PG nibba: my profile is X/X/X. What are my chances for old IIMs? Will 99 be enough for a call? Will covid have any impact upon placements? Should I do MBA this year? *Le PG veterans:

Where do one start from to improve QA basics ? Are Takzhilla videos enough or something else ? I scored around 82-83 percentile this time, so definitely want to improve next time in my weakest area. Thank you very much for any guidance. 

Anyone withdrawing from IIM B PWD(Person with disability) (Gen) now, after the release of first Waitlist?

  • Yes, didn’t pay the advance
  • Yes, paid the advance and will ask for a refund
  • No, sticking with B
  • Still thinking about it
