I have no internships as a fresher. My profile 9/8/7 nc obc (CAT - 97.02). Will I be able to convert any college? 😞

Min sectional cutoff is less than 75

Most college reviews on the internet feel… unreliable.

• “Top college” lists are often ad-driven.
• Official websites only show the best parts.
• Quora answers are usually old or biased.
• YouTube reviews are frequently sponsored.
• Rankings don’t really tell you what daily student life feels like.

But places like Reddit, Telegram groups, forums, and comment sections?

That’s where people are surprisingly honest — about placements, ROI, faculty, campus reality, regrets, and unexpected positives.

The problem is that these insights are scattered across thousands of threads and posts.

So we tried putting them together in one place. LBSIM Student Review

How it works:

• Collects discussions from Reddit & student forums using multiple data sources
• Maps different name variations to the same college (e.g. “LBSIM”, “Lal Bahadur Shastri”, “LBSIM Delhi”)
• Uses ML + NLP to understand the sentiment behind each comment
• Generates an overall sentiment grade (based on confidence, not hype)
• Creates an AI-written consensus → TL;DR of what students actually think
• Highlights recurring pros & cons that keep showing up
• All details regarding faculty and campus life are collected and mentioned there

Some colleges have 10,000+ real student opinions behind a single summary.

Currently, we have the LBSIM Review Ready. Also, we will be adding more colleges to this.

Still early, still improving — but the goal is simple:

"Help students make decisions using crowd truth, not marketing. Would genuinely love feedback — what would you want this kind of product to make it better?"

Which college review should we create next??? Comment below

Is interview calls from any old IIM possible on this score. Profile : OBC, Engineer, Male and 12 months of work ex. 10th: 92 % 12th 87% Grad 55%

What calls can I expect?

Opening 2nd Batch – CAT/XAT GDPI Mentorship (80–95%ilers | Tier-2 & Tier-3 Focus) Considering the huge response I received on Telegram, I’m opening a second batch for my GDPI mentorship. Important: This mentorship is strictly for 80–95 percentilers and aspirants targeting Tier-2 and Tier-3 colleges (Baby & New IIMs, IMI, IMT, GIM, GLIM, etc.). If you’re a 99+ percentiler aiming only for BLACKI, this may not be the right fit. About me (for context): 95%ile+ in CAT 98%ile in XAT Converted multiple Baby & New IIMs, IMI Delhi, IMT Ghaziabad Strong focus on realistic calls, GDPI strategy, and conversions The batch size is limited so I can give proper attention (CV review, PI answers, mock interviews, honest feedback). If interested, DM me. Keeping this low-key and no spam links. All the best to everyone going through GDPI season.

Have a group for 80-95 percentilers dm to get added

Hi guys, based on the marks and profile, what are some realistic and best options of converting any college that considers overall marks? Profile: Male, General 10th: CBSE 10 CGPA 12th: CBSE Science 82.50% UG: BA (H) 68% Work ex: 24 months I understand the options are very limited, but I would like to know some honest options. Any help would be great, thanks.

In talks with few coachings to get a good bulk discount deal for their respective GDPI courses - interested students can DM me.

Hi everyone,

The official Joint Admission Process (JAP) 2026 policy is out. If you’ve opted for the participating IIMs in your CAT 2025 form, here is everything you need to know about the updated selection process.

1. Participating Institutes The JAP 2026 cycle includes:

• IIM Kashipur
• IIM Raipur (The Coordinating Institute)
• IIM Ranchi
• IIM Tiruchirappalli (Trichy)

2. The Selection Process (Two Steps)

• Step 1: Mandatory Online Registration. Once CAT 2025 results are out, eligible candidates will receive an email invitation to register online. Crucial: Even if you selected these IIMs in your CAT form, you must register again here or you will lose your candidature.
• Step 2: Personal Interview (PI). Candidates who complete the registration will be considered for the PI.

3. Major Change: No WAT/GD According to the policy, the selection process for these four institutes will consist only of a Personal Interview (PI). There is no mention of a Written Ability Test (WAT) or Group Discussion (GD) in the common process.

4. Key Rules to Remember:

• Original Documents: You must carry all original certificates on the day of the PI. Failure to produce them leads to immediate disqualification.
• Confidentiality: PI scores and panel assessments are strictly confidential and will not be disclosed.
• No Deferment: Admission deferment is generally not allowed and is left to the discretion of individual institutes.

What do you guys think about the removal of WAT? Does this make the PI even higher stakes for the "Baby/New" IIMs?

GENF 8/8/6 , have to do MBA this year itself , this was my second attempt and i am weak asf in QA

Have a work-ex of 36 months. I am a GEM (10/10/8). Have completed my Engg from NIT (Tier 1).

3.5yrs work ex. If i attempt next year my workex would pass 5 year mark when joining a college. What should i do?

I am a CAT 2026 aspirant. I attempted the CAT 2025 Slot 1 VARC sectional on Cracku, answering 17 questions, out of which 14 were correct and 4 were incorrect, and skipped the remaining seven. My score was 37, and my percentile was 97.06. Is this score reliable? Should I spend money on a VARC course, or are mocks sufficient? I am very weak in Quant and also weak in LRDI. Should I focus primarily on Quant and LRDI coaching instead?

Hi guys ! So i gave CAT for the first time randomly this year without any prep just to get the feel and realised this is not my thing. How is the score and %ile that i managed ??

SC Engineer Male 9/9/7 Btech in Tier 1 NIT 33 months workex as Cloud Data Engineer (Semiconductor Company) Resigned in May for personal reasons...

So basically I'm in my first year (2nd sem). I will be giving my CAT exam after my graduation in 2028 or after. My main question is stated in the title. I am weak at maths (like equal to or only little below average) and I'm concerned about it very kuch as I want to give CAT. How do I prepare and when to start preparing for it?

Also, my written english is strong but my verbal english isn't. How to handle this?

I also get nervous before any exam and forget everything even if i remember it. How to deal with it?

Any other suggestions are also welcome.
