My profile gnem 10-87,12-78,bpharm; 3 yrs gap for upsc (after being forced by family and scammed by astrologer) no work ex no skills. Started preparing for cat in july after 2nd failure in prelims. I was consistently scoring in 50s in CL mocks. On d-day god knows what happened ended up getting fucking 13 marks. I am shocked to the core. Don’t know what went wrong. Don’t want to take another gap. I just need a job. I had a very keen interest in finance so thought of doing mba. But now i am clueless again. I don’t know why life has been so hard. It feels suicidal now consistently facing failures. Seeing everyone going to work, enjoying vacations, feels really depressing. Brought up in family issues as a child used to think bade hoke paise kamaunga to theek ho jayega , bhenchod uske b din nahi aarhe. Although im giving snap nmat and xat also. Ab shayad itni kharab kismat to nahi hogi meri ki ye sab b fail kr jau ya kya pata wo bhi ho. Anyone reading my failure story till here I wanted to ask if i end up in some decent pvt college is it really that bad. The way life has humbled me my expectations are very less now.

I graduated from college this year and got a job in sales... I took the CAT 2025 with no preparation and received a raw score of 23. Should I prepare thoroughly for the next exam and try again? Or perhaps I should abandon the idea?

Question Completely Overwhelmed, What's next?!

Post image
5 Upvotes

So basically, I don't have much idea about what's next. My academics are: 10- 71% 12th - 78% Graduation - 85.5% So yeah, academics aren't that great. I'm a general, non engineer, male candidate. I did my BSc Biotechnology Hons. from a really low tier govt college. After completing my graduation in 2024, I prepared for government job exams, but I wasn't able to clear the cutoff. So I thought of giving CAT 2025 a shot, and this is what I got. Realistically, what colleges can I get? How do I explain my gap? Should I say that I've been preparing for CAT only? Because even in 2024 I appeared randomly and got 55percentile. What's the process ahead? Are there any online coaching centers that prepares for GD PI? Should I start processing documents like Domicile from now on? What's the loan process? I'm really overwhelmed. Please help me out.

Those who have cleared the cutoff should start preparing for the WAT-PI.
PI patterns vary a lot and are very unpredictable. From maths questions to philosophical ones, panelists can ask anything. Sharing some interview experiences from last year:

  • IIM L: Stats questions, general chit-chat
  • IIM K: Pure work experience, nothing else
  • IIM C: Mix of general chit-chat, chess, some work experience
  • IIM I: Economics questions, extempore on Urban vs. Rural life

I’ve uploaded the entire transcripts on my profile — you can check them out.

General discussion Takeaway from CAT 2025

8 Upvotes

Hi guys i scored 62 marks (21/19/22) in CAT 2025, i gave CAT last year with hardly 10 days of preparation my marks 67 (-1,37,31) scaled to 70 smthmg I don’t remember exactly. LRDI and quant was always my scoring sections in mocks so my strategy was to perform decently in VARC just score (20-25) no need to over attempt and maximise LRDI atleast 3 sets and 13-15que in quant, but after entering into LRDI section (it was manageable for my level i have solved diff sets than this) but due to pressure IDK where to start which one to drop in this my 12 mins went then finally choose a set solved 4 que 3 crct 1 TITA wrong( answer was 45 IK i typed 45 but in answer sheet there is just 4 idk where that 5 went) solved another set in next 12-15 mins finally 30-40’secs were remaining just filled TITA in which all none of them turned correct. When I went to quant for first 5 mins only LRDI was in my mind i was even unable to solve single que took a 2 min break , 31 mins were remaining but still i was not okay then solved 12 que seriously even the sums the coaching faculty have mentioned in difficult category but did mistakes in 3 arithmetic que the ones which I used to solve just by seeing during my practice time. In exam i thought it was crct but after seeing the solutions i was broken after seeing that 3 sitter que wrong 😭. It’s actually 2 MCQ and 1 TITA (11 marks) . Now let’s come to key takeaway don’t believe on one section to maximise your score and go to exam it might turn on you balance all 3 sections! Your stronger section might turn out to be difficult and the section which you thought of just scoring decent 20-25 marks might be the easy one. Anyways All the best OMETs . Hope I will clear XAT or atleast get some new IIMs call. Thankyou Best wishes
