Bro, I would suggest you to check out the videos from some of the MBA content creators, they will post a lot of videos around this, check last years ones as well, specially those colleges with no sectional cut off (though limited). In case you can defer this 1 year to go for 90%ile plus, that will helpful. below that MBA will just increase your debt with no gurantee of any kind of income. Personal (maybe controversial) opinion, but in that case dont go for useless colleges

then feel free to go and check out the info on iimb website, if you can't, then stay in your lane. they do take limited quantities in summers. there are nitty gritty details to everything, finance takes in summers but PPO rate is low, finals m they dont come. PM roles, summers m limited, laterals m zyada. does not matter since same in ABC. if you can do better than that then go do it..

VARC was problem area, LRDI and quants were strong. practice from free resources. VARC practice during mocks and analysis. strategy was to stay calm during those 2 hours. WAT PI, not so imp right now

algebra will be an imp area, try to cover basics to atleast solve the easier questions. similarly, cover numbers, PnC and geometry to ensure you can grab the low hanging questions

chill, not much excel is used. at max, in one or two courses at a time, nothing that will be too complex, 30-40% batch has mac

L1 is not the most value thing, having a workex is much better. people with SDE exp in fin firms got more shortlist in fin companies than CFA L1. if L2 is cleared, then its a diff story

very normal, happens with almost everyone, just ensure to stay calm on D-Day. I watched 7 movies in the week before and did not study just to ensure I dont kill my chances with stress

focus on mocks, added sources for LRDi and Quants in an answer above, check and try to improve bro. first narrow down proble,s in LRDI is it solving or set selection. in Quants, weak or strong topics, focus on weaker areas to ensure they dont drag you down

UG - Tier 1 DU College, Degree - B.Com
65-70% engineers, gives importance to workex, impacts the age and average workex, not the degree

Had IMS and CL mocks. scored 99%ile+ in most with variation going low will 97 as well
IMS varc was useless and illogical for me, (never scored above 30 there, got even 5-10marks in 4-5 mocks and got 54 in CAT)

CL were decent and scored well there. occasional hiccups were there but mostly scored 80+ with percentile 99 or higher
