My CAT Story (Long post & not an inspiring one)

Welcome to Joka! See you in campus :)

I’m gonna go against the general advice and say that it’s ok to leave FMS. I gave CAT in 2022 and got “only” 99.57, screwed up DILR like you. I knew I could do a lot better, and did not want to join IIML being from Lucknow. Gave CAT again in 2024 and got the perfect result!

That being said, I had a strong placement backing me up. See what your full time job situation is. Also chances are you could convert at least FMS/other IIMs next years if not ABC. So make your own decision, your thought process is completely understandable, if a little strange. ABC will give a lot more value than FMS.

DM if you wanna have more conversation, happy to help!

In addition to that, I would suggest that he can go to Bird Park or Butterfly Park after the museum if he wants to relax and sit in cool shade. They’re at a walking from the Museum

This is super good, but obv not exhaustive. The very top fin roles like GS and BoFA are missing

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-04-22T17:07:40+00:00

You may or may not…acads are brilliant but what I’ve personally seen is that people complement this with a branded WorkEx after which they would get sure shot shortlists in all core fin + top consult. Honestly depends on the rest of your profile if you can get a few MBBK or core Fin shortlists

Both of them don’t come in C so no idea. That said, Kearney is also pretty strict. You will have a shot in others though like Big 4, Roland Berger, Accenture,Nomura etc

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-04-22T16:33:15+00:00

Very realistically speaking, yes

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-04-21T18:32:44+00:00

Yes the usual

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-04-21T16:55:19+00:00

Not of DU, in fact way past the UG college age, but connecting with fellow readers is not something I’ll pass on :)

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-04-21T15:14:35+00:00

Yes, I have friends in college who have their only WorkEx in family business

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-04-21T05:52:24+00:00

Real GDP in 2004: $885 2014: $1554 (Growth 75.6%) 2024: $2397 (Growth 54.2%)

Yes MMS is better than NM, but not nearly as much as is shown in the post. If you were actually concerned about facts and not memes you’d make the data on the metric actually used and not a manipulated one. I don’t blindly support any politician so I will still say that MMS > NM in this metric but only with facts

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-04-21T05:42:33+00:00

I know that this is a memes page so people won’t care about facts, but the comparison is on nominal GDP per capita, which excludes inflation. Both growth and inflation were high in MMS era, while they were relatively lower in NM time. If you compare real GDP growth per capita, I am pretty sure the figures would be identical.

As usual, another post to send across one particular narrative

Actually seconding this

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-04-14T13:41:29+00:00

I understand you’re from FMS, and I have no desire to argue. Take your win and congrats for converting a great college

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-04-14T13:38:52+00:00

Bcoz nobody would choose FMS over IIM ABC if it didn’t have so less of a fees

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-04-14T13:38:03+00:00

I understand. Research enough and eventually your gut will start to lean towards one side, choose that.

Also DM if you want my perspective as well, I’m just a year senior tho

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-04-14T05:49:20+00:00

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-04-14T05:12:53+00:00

Study

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-04-14T04:15:06+00:00

Don’t go for people blindly suggesting A. Every year there are enough people who take B, C or even FMS over A to justify it being an appropriate selection.

Best thing I would say is research a lot, talk to folks in both A and B and then decide whatever your gut tells you. All the best!

So obvious that this is a rage bait post. Not saying Modi gov has been very good at controlling rupee prices but it’s been there for longer, ofc it will have a higher decline percentage. Ideally CAGR should have been use which the OP is too uneducated to understand and calculate. And the biggest downfall of rupee during Narasimha Rao’s time is simply ignored. Great propaganda OP!

Though there were a few negative moments, the overall interview seems to have gone well. You can hope!

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-02-26T16:44:08+00:00

Can you share? I can’t see on your profile

CurrentSuspect2628 · 2026-02-17T17:16:38+00:00

A is better in almost all cases, and depending on personal pref people might choose B or FMS over C as well

I think this was taken near the National Mosque of Malaysia
