T2 colleges are already struggling to place students in this market. For T3 institutes like IFMR, things are obviously tougher. Just putting it out here for those who are making decisions.
Hey everyone!
I’m a 3rd year undergrad starting CAT 2026 prep and wanted real ground-level experiences before I lock in my strategy. Already gone through the guides — looking for honest perspectives now.
• What prep strategies actually worked vs what was overhyped?
• Where did you struggle the most — Quant, VARC or LRDI?
• Which resources did you use and what gaps did you notice?
• Anything you genuinely wish had existed to make prep easier?
• How did you manage stress, burnout and motivation through the long cycle?
Specific experiences are way more useful than generic advice. Short or detailed — any response is appreciated. Thanks!
