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

If there is someone who hasn't filled CAT form as yet, last 4 days...

Dekh lo

Then later on students kehta hai

CAT ke liye itni restrictions kyoon rakhte hain
..

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.

Don't worry about payment failure.

Try again.

This is CAT help desk message

This is actually a very good message...

Do spend a couple of minutes and go through this...

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

PS: Give a 👍 if you would like me to share an excel format outlining this analysis for you...

Following repeated DMs, here is a Quantitative Aptitude Formula booklet for #arithmetic #algebra #geometry #NUMBERSYSTEM for #CAT #NMAT #SNAP #XAT #MBA # GMAT preparation.

This is a work in progress and I would like to update one with more examples as soon as I am able to manage my time a bit better.

Feel free to forward this post to your friend circles

Imagine!

When your exam starts and you see this calculator on your screen...

What would be your thoughts???

The price of a chocolate is increased by x% and then reduced by x%. The new price is 96.76% of the original price. Then x is ___

POV: When someone asks you how is your CAT Preparation going on??

Students often fail to score during exams because of this one small distinction...

A sample format for Mock Analysis

Saturday is a mock day for a lot of students

Problem is what happens afterwards

You give the mock ✅
You check your score ✅
Feel happy/sad about it 😅

Just don't move on to the next mock ❌

That’s not how percentile grows. The real growth is in the 2 hours after the mock — when you:

🔍 Revisit every RC you guessed in VARC
🔍 Check why you wasted 12 mins on that one DILR set
🔍 Find which Quant topics repeatedly pull you down

One well-analysed mock > three un-analysed ones. Make analysis your priority today. 📈

We don't write mock to get scores and move on

We write mocks to identify different strategies which do or don't work for us

Give me a ❤️ if you hear me...
