How do I convert my CGPA to %age?

A. For CBSE, multiply your CGPA by 9.5

B. For GGSIPU, multiply your CGPA by 10

C. For Delhi University
For graduates before 2022, multiply grand CGPA by 9.5
For graduates after 2022, multiply grand CGPA by 10

D. For other colleges, compute the aggregate percentage of marks obtained as per the norms of the University/Board. If no norms exist, enter the aggregate percentage of marks obtained for all years/semesters of the degree course.

What work experience should I put in? Will internship be counted as a Work Experience? What if my work experience was along graduation?

Part-time/ Project/ Internship/ Articleship/ Pre-graduation work experience should not be entered and will not be counted as work experience.

Other than that, doesn’t matter what kind of work experience you have. As long as you have the supporting paperwork, for point allocation purpose, teaching in a school is same as working in an MNC

I am involved in the family business. Can I show it in CAT form? How do I do so?

Certainly, you can show it as work experience. That is, assuming, if your family business is a registered business. However, you need to:

A. Have an experience letter

B. Valid bank account statement and/or salary slips

C. Neither of the above two matters if you don’t have fundamental knowledge of the work that you are claiming to do. That will be the easiest way for me to assess whether you are telling the truth or not!

#CAT #CATFAQ #QuantSensei #Formfilling

I have a career gap before/ after graduation. How can I hide it?

You can’t and you shouldn’t. the good thing is that you are aware of a gap.

What was the reason for the gap? Illness? Plans fell through? Trying something else but didn’t work out? Create a storyline to justify your gap.

Courses, internships etc can justify the gaps. All said and done, you need to work out an explanation by the time you reach your interview stage. Because, rest assured, it will be asked!

#CAT #CATFAQ #QuantSensei #Formfilling

Where do I upload my CV points, certificates etc?

You don’t. There will be an appropriate time when the results are declared. At that time, the B schools will send a Performa for you to fill. Once you get a call from any specific B school, they will send a link to you where you would have to fill all such information like strength, weaknesses, role model etc

#CAT #CATFAQ #QuantSensei #Formfilling

I don’t have an updated EWS / Category certificate.

Upload whatever version you have. Just remember to download undertaking format from CAT website and fill it. Make a combined pdf of your category certificate and this undertaking and UPLOAD THAT with your application.

#CAT #CATFAQ #QuantSensei #Formfilling

What all courses should I select in CAT form?

As a thumb rule, fill all the PGDM courses. Fill FPM/ PhD courses only if you ready for a long-term commitment and are looking at teaching as career. Fill niche courses like HR/ Data Analytics only after a proper assessment of your interest areas. In case you aren’t really sure, fil them all

#CAT #CATFAQ #QuantSensei #Formfilling

Do I register for non – IIM institutions as well by clicking on the link on the landing page?

No. That link is for Non – IIM institutions to register themselves and pay to collect CAT scores for their selection process! So, unless you represent any MBA institution, that link is not for you!

#CAT #CATFAQ #QuantSensei #Formfilling

What’s the best time to fill the form?

I always recommend to do the registration early on. Go through the form with a fine-toothed comb and be sure about all the data that you are intending to fill in. Plan to pay on the last couple of day. The benefit is that when you register and don’t pay, you would get periodic reminder from the website to complete the payment option. Also, while you are at it, it would be a good idea to make a new Email ID which would be discarded after the entire process. This would ensure that your primary email ID remains SPAM free.

#CAT #CATFAQ #QuantSensei #Formfilling

I filled my name incorrectly during registration. Any way that I can change that?

Name, Date of Birth, Mobile Number and Email Address cannot be changed once the registration is complete.

#CAT #CATFAQ #QuantSensei #Formfilling

My picture is 1 year old. Can I upload it?

You should look like your photograph

Your photograph might be 5 years old with you looking the same

Your photograph could be 2 months old but if your face has changed drastically, you are better off getting a new picture

Your photograph should be identical enough for them to be confident about your identity

#CAT #CATFAQ #QuantSensei #Formfilling

I am in the final year of my bachelor's degree. Do I need to submit any final year certificate in my CAT form?

No. You not need to submit any proof of your percentage nor submit any certificate in the CAT form.

Just your aggregate %age of the results declared so far

Final year certificate will be needed only at the time of admission.

#CAT #CATFAQ #QuantSensei #Formfilling

How/ When do I apply for Non - IIM institutions like IIFT/ FMS/ MDI Gurgaon?

There will be a separate notifications for each of the individual Non - IIM institution. Once that notification is released, you will go to the website of that institution, fill their forms and pay the respective fees.

ONLY AFTER THAT would you be considered for that particular institution.

I dont want to lose you guys, nor do I want your preparations to suffer...

Is NMAT worth filling, considering the cost of form, ROI and primarily only 1 college being of benefit?

The real question here is how much sense of urgency do you have for an admission this year? The answer would differ from person to person

There are people who want to get an admission this year for sure. And they might end up regretting not having filled this - YES

There are people who just want an MBA degree for their business purposes and don't really care about the ROI - YES

There are people are from a working background and want to get a good degree to get a good head-start - Maybe

There are people who are already working and want a better profile - Maybe

There are people who are already working, earning really well and want a better pedigree - NO

There are people who don't want to go out of Delhi / Mumbai / state - Depends

#QuestionSomeoneAskedMe

Do faculties around India also write CAT every year? I have heard that some faculties register on the last date so they get Slot 3. Does their high percentile with no intention of joining any b school affects the students as they get low AIR?

1. Yes teachers also write the exam.

2. Nhn. They don't deliberately fill on last date. Its just that they decide around the last itself to write the paper

3. Filling first or last is not related to any slot. I have tried all the combinations and they are not related

4. I agree that the teachers getting 100 %ile might impact some students. But IIM guys also factor that in. Which why they call more students for the PI round that they would normally!
