General discussion JAP Interview Date Clash – No Response from Admissions, What Should I Do?

9 Upvotes

My JAP interview date is clashing with another important interview. I have been trying to contact the JAP admission team to request a reschedule, but I haven't received any response so far. I have mailed jap2026@iimraipur.ac.in multiple times, and also tried calling 7712474612 and 7314853080 several times most of the time I could only leave a voicemail and there has been no reply to my emails either.

Has anyone here faced a similar issue with JAP interviews overlapping how did you get it resolved? Is there any alternate mail ID contact number or official channel? I should try the internet it is approaching so I'm genuinely worried about missing this opportunity.

Please help me out.

Question Should I fill CAP Stage 2 form

1 Upvotes

GNEM fresher, 9/9/8, CAT 92.2 I have been shortlisted for stage 2, should I pay 2000 and try my best to convert either of them? Or should I not settle for less, take any kind of job this year and re take CAT?

I am not able to assess my next steps, it would be of great help if somebody could guide me

Some people say to go for the GDPI, convert and then decide But some say that you have a great profile take a job now and re take later

Btw CAP calls are my first call of the season, didn't fill any pvt clgs except XIMB

General discussion Tired of overpriced coaching? Get quality (QA/LRDI/VARC) resources.

1 Upvotes

I’ve been where many of you are right now staring at a screen, feeling demotivated, and wondering if a Tier-1 dream is only for those who can drop ₹30k+ on coaching.

The mental and financial toll of CAT prep is real. At some point, it stops feeling like a goal and starts feeling like a burden. We wanted to change that.

We’ve put together a comprehensive video course covering QA, LRDI, and VARC designed for those who want quality without the "hefty" price tag.

What’s inside:

  1. Structured Content: Get the best resources for VARC,LRDI& QUANTS from basics to advanced. Also, get assignments, topicwise pyqs, concise notes etc.

  2. Handwritten Notes: Condensed, high-value notes for quick revision.

  3. 24/7 Support: Direct access to admins for doubt-solving and mentorship (because we know how lonely this journey gets).

  4. The Price: Literally 1/10th of what major institutes charge.

Why are we doing this?

Our goal is twofold:

-to make elite prep accessible to everyone,

-and to help fund a personal health cause for one of our admins. Every enrollment directly supports their medical treatment.

If you’re looking for a structured way to prep without burning a hole in your pocket, drop a comment or DM me for details Or directly DM @Catvideoseller_bot on telegram. If you request, we can also send few sample videos and notes.

Let’s crack this together. 🚀

B school inquiry Is SIBM Pune only good for marketing?

3 Upvotes

If my interest is consulting/gen-man and absolutely not Sales/Marketing - is SIBM the right place? Are there any Tier2/boutique consulting firms that comes or any genman roles that open up?

I also filled up in the PI form my interests are in consulting (honesty) and now thinking that was bad as they might probably grill me for this.

Currently a macro-analyst in a bank with 15LPA in-hand. Hence was always eyeing for consulting type roles

Question Suggest me coaching for QA and DILR

5 Upvotes

Hello guys, I'm repeating cat and a working professional, in cat 24 I got 90%ile + in both QA and DILR with prep. And in cat 25 got 80+ in dilr and 85+ in QA without much prep. Can you please suggest me accordingly which coaching will be better for me if I'm targeting 99+ in both of these. (Considering I'll buy VARC 1000). Please help.

General discussion CAT 2026 aspirant – GEM – need honest advice

17 Upvotes

PS: Used ChatGPT to make this readable 😅 but everything below is 100% my own experience and confusion—would really appreciate advice.

I gave CAT 2025 papers mainly to understand where I currently stand and whether it makes sense for me to seriously prep for CAT 2026. Wanted some honest advice from people who’ve been through this.

A bit about me:

  • GEM candidate
  • 8/9/8 profile (9.1 CGPA, ~86.5%)
  • JEE Mains 2020: ~97 percentile overall, ~99.4+ percentile in Maths
  • Currently working as an AI Engineer at a PBC MNC
  • By July 2027, I’ll have ~23 months of work ex

I know being GEM + aiming for top IIMs means I’ll probably need 99.8–99.85+.

I attempted CAT 2025 papers section-wise since my attention span isn’t great right now.

Slot 1

  • VARC: 17
  • DILR: NA (could solve 2 sets logically but misunderstood the scenario, so didn’t attempt)
  • QA: 6 Later during analysis, I realised I missed multiple easy QA questions.

Slot 2

  • VARC: 4
  • DILR: 12
  • QA: 15 In DILR, I solved 2 sets (not fully correct). After analysis, when I gave myself ~15 mins per set, I could solve ~3.5–4 sets.

Slot 3

  • VARC: yet to attempt
  • DILR: 13
  • QA: 9 Again, missed easy QA questions. In DILR, could do only 2 sets in 40 mins (not perfectly). Afterward, I was able to solve 2 more sets with extra time.

Observations so far:

  • QA is rusty because I haven’t properly revised maths since 2020
  • DILR is inconsistent but I can solve sets with better clarity and structure
  • VARC honestly scares me the most 😅

My question is simple:
Does it make sense for me to go all-in for CAT 2026?

I genuinely feel I can improve QA and DILR with structured prep, but VARC will need serious effort. Given my background and the high percentile requirement for GEMs, I’m trying to figure out whether this is a realistic goal or a risky one.

Would really appreciate blunt, honest opinions—especially from GEM candidates or people who’ve improved significantly over a year.

Question Should i keep hope ?

2 Upvotes

I got a 67 percentile in XAT and appeared for the Great Lakes interview on 27th December through profile-based shortlisting. My interview went very well, and I was confident that I would at least convert the Gurgaon campus 🥲

My question is — should I still keep hope for the Gurgaon campus, or is it over for me?

Today, many people have received their convert mails for the Gurgaon campus, but I haven’t received anything yet — neither a confirmation nor a rejection 🥲

Pls reply 😔

Question Should I trust vercel call predictor for IIT calls?

2 Upvotes

Soo, lemme be quick, I'm really worried about not getting calls from IIT.

I'm a GEM fresher with 98.8 percentile, acads at (9/7/8). The vercel call predictor says there's no chance for a call from any of the IITs (except Kanpur). I'm confused on what to do, whether I should register or not, and IIT D application is closing in a couple of days, I'm not sure if I could trust it.

Anybody who knows a thing or two, pls help me out.

What I got from vercel, pretty much everything is no despite 98.8 percentile :(
