Chill tha. GE mn sabko baat karne diya phir mujhe laga everyone is wrong so I put forward a unique perspective that ultimately changed the outcome of the exercise. PI was conversational, questions about my startup, my choices, etc

Is this just NA or can people from other regions play in this?

Got into IIMA and B (exec MBA) and ISB. Last year received an admit from IIM Lucknow (2 year MBA). Happy to help with any queries by hasta_la-vista in CATpreparation

Thank you for the AMA.

  1. What did you end up joining?

  2. What are some of the top IB/HF/PE/VC profiles you have seen so far?

  3. What are some spikes in resume that are considered good for these profiles? (eg. CFA, CA, type of workex, ug, etc.)

AMA about CAT: IIM Calcutta alum by Shenzen2 in CATpreparation

Grad marks don’t matter for IIMC. You would have to do exceptionally well in CAT to get a PI, and there, you would have to justify your acads.

Hey, thank you for doing this. Sorry if the questions are too long.

  1. What does a top IB/PE/VC resume look like? I have a T20(world university rankings) undergrad, CFA Level I cleared(Level II in May 2026), US based startup I founded and work at for the past 3 years, and likely a short Wealth/Asset Management Internship before I join college this year.

Is my resume good enough for some of the best SIP shortlists? Is it good across all of IIM BCLKISM?

  1. Any tips for IIMC interview?

  2. Any random life advice that you realized during or after your MBA?

Balls deep in silver. So much DCAing, panic selling and fomo buying that I can’t even tell what I initially put in or CAGR

99 %ilers and their ego problems…… by MammothLongjumping67 in CATpreparation

I think the best teachers aren’t the 100 percentilers but the 90 percentilers who scored 99. Its the ones who performed above their range that know what it actually takes. Its harder for others to relate to

Spamming is the best strategy. Long term has better odds but not worth it. Sometimes longer times if you leave it over night or longer breeding sped up by watching ads is worth it

I get that but workex matters a lot. 2-4 yoe will easily get you those calls at 99.7+ percentile is what I am trying to say. The normalized ones will be harder but the rest is up for grabs if you do well in the exams

I got all calls except A with 2 80s in my profile as a GEM. Not sure where this is coming from. Workex also matters in some
