शिक्षक हमारे जीवन का एक अनमोल रत्न होता है, जो अंधेरे में भी उजाला कर देता है। अपने सपनों से भटकने पर हमें जो सही राह दिखाते है, वह शिक्षक कहलाते हैं।

A teacher plants the seeds of knowledge and inspiration, influencing students' lives eternally and sparking a lifelong love of learning.

Happy Teachers Day

JAP 2026 for 4 IIMs

Yaar I don't understand this mindset.

What is freaking out going to do for you??

Make a plan. Stick to it. Cover important topics. Leave out difficult topics.

Remember MBA/CAT is not a mandatory exam. You have chosen to write this exam. By your own volition. Nobody forced you to.

So, do the only thing you can.

Buckle up. Create a preparation plan. Leave your social media rizz, leave netflixing and chilling.

Karmanye wadhikaraste, Maa faleshu kadachana...

Don't worry about payment failure.

Try again.

This is CAT help desk message

Time well spent!

#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 moment itself to write the paper. In fact, I filled pretty early this year.

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!

While writing mocks, I would implore you all to not focus only on the scores

Instead focus your energy to

A. Attempt the test again at home and identify if the shortcoming in scores was due to Time pressure OR due to lack of preparation

B. Identify the strong and weak areas

C. Look at solutions and identify ways to improve your approach.

D. Tabulate all your data so that you can analyse the performance at one go

E. Try and finalize an approach for the next mock
