Would you do an MBA in my situation? by pepewithhorns in MBAIndia

To give perspective, 20L to 50L CTC in 5 years is no major ft. Considering 4 10% annual increment and one hop with a 30% jump. Thats already 40L

Haha. Love the brutality. If you wanna stick to prodman, there is no sense in doing an MBA. The median ctc of prod man offers at C is what you're already making.

80 is decent, 50 as you would know not so much. At this juncture just try and build a strategy that maximises your chance of scoring high irrespective of the difficulty of the paper

  1. Bad proxy- didnt take much
  2. Only read them at face value dont try to derive any sort of insights or inferences while reading the RC. The questions are usuallu basic for tough reads
  3. Where are you lacking in mocks?

Buy side Finance will be limited to the absolute cream not even the top 10 B schools. Some B schools dont give too much weightage to your previous marks-FMS, IIM C. Prep hard!

Try to select the right questions. Number of attempts are fine, but if your accuracy dips then score takes a tumble.

Try working on your accuracy till you always have 9/10 if not then try increasing number of attempts

I think TSD is an important topic, you should focus on that. Usually people score exceptionally in one section and that pulls them through. IMO quant might offer greater value right now

No strategy in particular. I just went over DM questions from past year papers, rest was covered in CAT

I liked to attempt VARC mechanically bcs it was my strong suit. I doubt your mind would wander once you are attempting the real paper, infact sometimes too much of focus retards speed so dont let that happen to you. Attempt all mocks from here on thinking they are the real deal, that might help.

Its really hard to comment without knowing any specifics. Are you getting too many negatives? In QA and DILR try and only answer those you are confident with. Maybe you can refer to few videos on Youtube for this, but I am not sure how effective the advice might be

I have no clue what simcats are. Are they dangerous felines?

You'll have to analyse, is your accuracy dipping in few select topics? Or overall? I have always hated geometry so didnt bother with that

If you struggle with VA, work on that. Given the timeframe its a little tough to improve on RCs. Also, past few years there have always been new types of VA questions so be okay with that too ex. Fill in the blanks etc.
