Do I need to fill XLRI form separately for admission through XAT?

XAT application form 2024 includes a field in which the candidates have to select XLRI course in which they want to take admission. You don't have to fill another form 😊

This is a tricky time. Motivation running low, anxiety running high, scores running low but distractions running high!

Invest 1 minute and watch at very slow speed.

As a fellow traveller, who was in your shoes not so long ago - Well that's a lie, it was real long ago - I know what you are going through!

You may feel that this is a make or break time, and you are right to an extent, but not in the terms that you think. Yes, it is the final three weeks before the CAT exam. Yes, this period can make a substantial difference in your performance.

But NO, this exam and these three weeks don't decide you worth. YOU DO!

Instead of ruminating on the past, focus on approached to optimally utilize this crucial time.

1. Ensure you allocate time for revision, practice tests, and identifying weak areas to strengthen them. A lot of material has been uploaded at https://t.me/+gYOj7lE3qcgzODQ1

2. Refine your RC and Vocab. Practice on a wide variety of material. Read newspaper from https://t.me/QuantSenseiGDPI

3. Practice calculations, and solve a variety of problems to enhance your speed and accuracy

4. Prioritize weak areas but don’t neglect stronger sections. Solve all PYQs shared at https://t.me/c/1972968225/68

5. Keep on revising the formulae for Quant. A help book is uploaded at https://t.me/QuantSenseiMain/173

6. Prioritise mental health. Read the post uploaded at https://t.me/QuantSenseiMain/176

I will graduate in 2024. I am planning to write all the MBA entrance exams for this year. Should I sit in the Final Placements or not?

I always suggest everyone to take a placement if they are getting from the college. And apply for a higher studies simultaneously

The decision to join would be in April - May 2024. At that time you can decided whether you want to join or not. But it doesn't harm knowing you have options to choose from!

Can we take our pencils or one coloured pen (for ease of writing) to exam? What will be the size of though notebook that they will provide? Can I ask for more than one notebook?

Nopes. And nopes.

They will provide one A5 size notepad containing 16 sheets. You can ask but they don't give any more to you. They clearly mention this at the beginning that no more though work space would be provided.

You cannot carry any stationery item - pen, pencil scale etc - to the centre. They will provide one pen at the beginning which would have to be returned at the end of the test. You will also return the notepad to the invigilator and your ID and name will be written at the front page

Whatever work needs to be done, needs to be managed only in that space.

I have my centre 100 / 120 / 150 / 200 km away. Can I get it changed?

No you can not get it changed. Regard of slot, better hai reach a day early, book any nearby hotel and be in a calm state on that day.

#MBA #catmba2023 #AdmitCards

Is it true that Slot 1/ 2 / 3 is Difficult / Easy? Which slot is difficult? Which slot is easier to score?

1) The question itself is moot as you have been allotted a slot and you are going to have to deal with it. Whether you have to wake up at 5 AM or be stressed till evening is ALL immaterial

2) There maybe changes in the difficulty levels across the slots and it might vary between the sections as well. But that's something which is really out of our control and definitely not something we can predict

3) If all slots were of the same difficulty level, some slots would have an unfair advantage because they would get to work with some feedback as well as extra time to prepare

4) And lastly, a little bit of faith. Every year the exam is conducted for More than 2 lakh students and it would do us well to assume that the CAT convenors know their testing approaches.

Tell me something about yourself

One of the most important questions in an interview "Tell me something about yourself" is a story line in which you should include all the areas where you want the questions to come from.

You , obviously, have to include to academic background.

They could be your passion. Could be your interest area. Could be your hobbies.

Could be your extra curricular achievements. Could be your co curricular achievements.

Could be your family business and the way you have involved yourself in it. Could be an interesting internship that you had.

The central idea is to plan to speak for 30 to 35 sec. Plan for an additional 10 seconds in case they don't stop you.

This question could become tricky as you have to speak long enough to give them some areas of questioning and you have to speak short enough so that they don't get bored and cut you short.

Once you write this answer in your notebook, it will take around 3 or 4 revisions to get it completely correct.

Having guided hundreds of aspirants over the years, I know many will ignore this till the last moment. But, if you are sincere with your efforts, please don't do so.

Sincerely
@TheQuantMentor

I have a GAP YEAR. Will it hamper my prospect of an admission? Does it really matter?

No and Yes.

You need to understand that having a gap year is not the problem in itself. The problem is most students don't plan to address that gap!

Gap year does not matter if you have a justification for the same. Sickness. Internships. Projects. Family commitments. etc.

Gap year matters if you "had taken a break to prepare for the exam".

What you need to understand is that they are looking for managers. If you have whittled away a resource as precious as an year; what does that tell them about you?

So, if you have a gap, you need to have a justification for that. As long as you have a justification as well as the capability to answer questions on those justifications - Its all GOLDEN!

Does clearing the CAT/XAT/Any other exam school mean everything is set?

Nothing could be further away from the truth.

See, there is this thing called as GD/PI.

Right now you are facing some 3 Lakh odd aspirants, bulk which are not really serious in their preparation. So, its easier now.

But during GDPI, all are really sincere candidates. Plus, there are no faculties/ mentors which go to that round!

And, unfortunately, people don't focus on this round as much as they should.

zyada halke mein le lete hain.

and then yeh round un logon ke mazze leta hai!

So
1) Prepare common Interview Questions
2) Prepare a good resume
3) Start reading newspapers NOW

A sincere request to all

For GD/PI sessions, please trust someone / some institute who has a background for helping others

Not a college student who cracked the exam and is still in the college / barely graduated

On TG, IG, LinkedIn; I see numerous posts from students (read influencers due to batch sizes) offering their Guidance/ Counselling/ PI services for a "minimum charge".

If and when you do get a shot; don't let it go to waste due to incompetent or insufficient guidance
