[Official] CAT 2013 Aspirants

Hi puys, I am in a bit of delimma whether to go for a coaching institute or not. Last year I joined CL in my 4th year of engineering and got only 87%ile. This year I prepared on my own an d had only 2 months to prepare due to joining and all and gave some tests from home only. This year I scored 84%ile. Now I am in a delimma whether to prepare on my own or join an institute. Please suggest and which institute?

screwed up CAT 2012..... and here it begins.... gonna go hard at 2013...!! IIMC my dream...

12th : 83.2

Projects :
4 (including one BTP final year proj, and one in england

Co-curriculars :

have co-ordinators' certi in 3 events (one was major other minors) .
and some Participation certificates.

QUESTION:

SHOULD I GIVE CAT THIS YEAR. WOULD I BE ABLE TO MAKE IT UPTO IIMs WITH THIS PROFILE ???
My CAT % this year was 95.2.

THANKS.





@CatNamoNamah Your profile is really strong. Nobody can forecast his/her %ile on the basis of previous year's score.U might be one of the 100%er's next year as well.Anything above 97%ile with 90+ sectionals will fetch you Iim calls..

Which book to buy for CAT 2013 ? Is there any standard book covering all topic and its solutions ? Any particular , well renowned book standardised by CAT people
Like in GMAT there is Official Guide-13!

is there ny particlular book ?

if you had not enrolled to any coaching institutes then you can consider ARIHANT or Arun Sharma for QA,VA,DI,LR & RC as of now

For Quant only - Arun Sharma ..... Rest for DI, LR & VA there are no such particular book

Thanks.
But Isn't that true that IIMs require only 99% + with my kind of background i.e. 10th, 12th ,btech are 84,83, and 74 only ?
Also I heard (here only) people getting as high as 99.48 and getting 0 IIM calls !!

i know that u joined TIME all the best All the best for cat13

When to use you and me and you and I..

@CatNamoNamah You were talking about IIMs I guess.So I took all the 13Iims into consideration.If you are concerned with the BLACKI,then you are living on the edge.You need a 99% ile with 97%ile above in both sections.That might fetch you a call.

On what basis are u saying all these? 😲 Please don't comment on things about which u have absolutely no idea.... Do u know that BLACK is practically impossible at 99%ile with only 80+ , 80+, 70+ in 10, 12 and Grad respectively? 😲 Please go through their criterias & the final composite score required for a call to understand WHY!

10th 92%, 12th 78.33% ,B.E. 61% can i get into iim

Need guys who really know inside out of IIM to answer this. My profile-

10th-87.6

11th-81.6
BTECH-7.4[After 5 sems]
Extra Circ-Quizes win in Schools,Cricket team of School and now college,sports win[Athletics].

Now,some guys might be wondering as to why I'm posting this before giving CAT 2013 itself,the thing is seeing 99+ guys getting no calls is a cause of a worry.

I also fall in the category of MALE,ENGINEER,FRESHER,GENERAL!

So,does that mean with the kind of profile I have,rules me out of IIM-A,B,I,K,S??

Then what is left for me? It's sets you down if you're preparing for CAT knowing that 4-5 IIMS won't even call you even if you get 99+ percentile.

Also,what about top B Schools like SP-Jain,FMS,IMT,MDI? Do,they have this criteria of 80+ in graduation too? Coz regardless of whatever I do in the coming 3 sems of my engg,80+ is something which I want reach as conversion rate in my college is 9.09*GPA. Can't be a 9 pointer from here on in.

Please someone who DOES KNOW about the all the criterias[Many guys out here],Answer!
@vipulsharma078 Dude check out the MBA on demand by CL, it worked well for me....have a look at the demo and decide

Best of luck
