[Official] CAT 2013 Aspirants

Which book are u people following for DI LR??? dnt say arun sharma..apart frm dat???Is there any nice comprehensive book?

I am doing only TIME material as of now..Will that suffice ?

@PallavSingh TIME material is good.......to begin with only.....and to develop minimum concept.......and arun sharma quants are only note worthy....and is a must.......for di/lr/va i would recommend pearson publisher nishit k sinha or arihant......dont go for arun shrama for di lr coz he dont explain the reason.....so useless

i m in 6th sem ..and i have joined TIME...but my english and verbal sections are not so good and even the classes are so irregular..

is it necessary to buy any book for di/lr/va apart from the study material provided by the coaching institutes and previous papers/mocks?

@hiteshpratap Thanks :)

IS it difficult to get admitted to IIMs(A,B,C) if having work experience in IT??

not difficult .. but yeah u need a gud percentile first .. and a well structured reason for pursuing MBA .. also u need to show how u are better thn others ..

IT people are prefferd less ..but if u have something special in you .. no body willl deny u admission

special bole to ... u have inclination for mangement studies .. some past work to support that ...

extracurricular is given a gud weight age in many colleges .. and academics also

but to get an opportunity to showcase ur talent ... u need a flashy percentile ..

I have tried my best to clear ur doubt .. in case of any problem .. revert :)

Hi Puys,I have started preparation for CAT 2013(No hope in Cat 2012). I am a OBC NC candidate and has modest academic record.10th - 89.8%12th - 78% B.Tech - 8.41(cgpa)Work experience - will complete 3 years in October 2013(IT Sector ).Just wanted to know how much percentile i should get in order to get calls from IIM B,L,A,C,K,S and FMS. My class 12th percentage is below 80%. will it be a obstacle to get calls from some IIM's.Will appreciate your replies.
don't worry much about your 12th percentage. OBC NC category certificate may come to your rescue . 😃 Cut off can not be predicted about IIMs as they assign weightage to academic profile and work ex and other factor also.

As Ajai Sir Told me,

any full time work exp will be considered valid..the question will how is it relevant to your long term career plan or what did you learn in that work exp to help you in future..
basically depends on how u portray it..how u put it in words..and how confident you are.
your selection will depend on how you portray it as ur unique experience..what you learnt there that some others have not even if they have similar work exp

Hi Puys,I'm preparing for CAT-2013 and started my preparations for it. However one thing over which I'm loosing my sleep these days apart from preparation is my academics. They are average to say the least.X- 89XII- 74B.Tech(EC)- 66I will have about 28 months of work ex in Top Telecom MNC by the time I have calls for interview. Will I be eligible for Decent MBA colleges( may not be IIM's) for interview?
Yeah, definitely you are eligible for newer IIMs and IIM CL if you get 99.5+%tile .
And Few non IIMs colleges like MDi,XLRI,TISS,NITIE,NMIMS,IITs,SIBM,IIFT etc are also open for you..
Happy New Year 2013 everybody !! May this year be the happiest so far, most memorable and may all your good wishes come true !!
