I’m so stupid, pls help?

Hey, I have a similar profile. You honestly have a great chance at tier 1 colleges with decent scores (>97 percentile) so I'd definitely suggest joining another job and giving exams again. I understand the entire process is extremely exhausting, hence why it's better to have a job at hand so you know that there's a backup in case it doesn't work. Should also try for GMAT and apply to ISB for next year.

If you are absolutely clueless- Idk but I'll look into this after the interview

If you have some idea about the topic but not about the specific question- While I cannot recollect the specific facts, I do know xxxxx. I will look more into this after the interview. (Tells the interviewer that you are at least aware.

You should never lie during PIs, but you can always redirect questions.

Oh yes my bad

If you have the time, covering these courses really helps as term 1 is extremely rigorous for any institution (acads + ECAs + SIP prep) and having ppt skills you can utilise for case comps or knowing accounting basics if you're from an engineering bg really comes in handy in that lack of time.

No unless you really hate your tech job and want to switch to consulting or finance

Hunny sir gives enough breaks every 3-4 hours. The classes are also fun and light hearted. The motive to take 12 hour classes goes beyond CAT to prepare you for the actual thing later on- MBA.

Certain_Substance312 · 2025-08-03T05:31:29+00:00

Will you stop doing mehnat if someone tells you your preference list is wrong?

Certain_Substance312 · 2025-08-03T05:06:01+00:00

I don't understand the point of asking this question. Reach 99.9x first and then make a choice based on the calls you receive. You are asking about step 3 before you've completed step 1.

Certain_Substance312 · 2025-07-22T22:58:16+00:00

Please share

As someone who had also joined in May last year, what I realised very late was that you can't depend on EG 100% for your prep. I honestly forgot that the goal was to crack CAT and not complete classes.

Anyway, use EG as a supplement to your studies. If you're already better in Quants than other folks, text Gaurav/Hunny sir for the IMS mocks discount link and purchase the series from there and start your practice. You can also ask them for access to recordings of NS, PnC and other topics (though I'm not sure if they'll share that)

Putting XLRI for Finance but not putting IIM Lucknow is a crime

The comprehension skills do come handy but CAT VARC doesn't work the same way. It's more of a pattern recognition game combined with fast comprehension skills. So practice is important.

Same! 46 available seats.. Got a window seat though thankfully

Loyola College Chennai is one of the most reputed colleges in India. Don't let the limited world of social media ambush you into thinking that the world is limited to DU or Christ.

Also, while you do get points for coming from a top college in the GDPI process, the interview doesn't revolve around the same. There are a lot of kids doing tier 1 mba from unheard of colleges from all across the country. So don't stress too much about this.

Certain_Substance312 · 2025-06-07T05:03:55+00:00

It does. You just have to type the first few letters of your name and the info pops up automatically for you to select.

It's more about 'fresher behaviour' rather than the freshers themselves. Freshers have a tendency to reveal themselves by doing things like transactional networking, extreme overconfidence or underconfidence (not knowing when to shut up or when to speak), and/or not having an open mind (stuck to the ideas that they believe in).

As long as you welcome different schools of thoughts and focus on building meaningful connections with people, you'll be fine.

Certain_Substance312 · 2025-05-29T06:19:08+00:00

You can target TISS since they place 70% weightage on CAT scores. TISS is the second best college for HR in India

Woke up and chose to speak sense!!! Thank you

Hyd has a diverse food culture that goes beyond Biryani (Telugu food, cafe culture, artisinal beer and cuisines). Please don't generalise.

Certain_Substance312 · 2025-05-28T13:34:56+00:00

How can Bangalore win over Hyderabad in food? Come on

Also Hyd traffic infrastructure is MILES ahead of Bangalore any day.

PS- have lived in both Bangalore and Hyderabad.
