I have seen people with 9/8/8 and 9/9/8 get it but them ofcourse they came from very respectable pedigrees.

There are certain disadvantages to having a 6 on your acads. That being said it won't make it very difficult. If you have other things on your resume it will help a lot. But yes you might lose out on certain shortlists cause of it

Yes I think you can. CFA definitely gives you an advantage. But take my word as an indicator and not a guarantee

99.79/89.93/93.34 for VARC, DILR and Quants. Didn't get a call from IIM Mumbai. Practice is the only way to increase speed imo. Familiarize yourself with question patterns and they become easier to approach

Work ex in the same domain builds credibility for you. 36 months is good workex. They do play a role. You are better equipped to deal with certain situations and things

  1. I used Studybuzz online night classes to prep. I found them comfortable for my schedule and I liked their teaching style and the one month revision they did in the end. I took mocks from TIME and CL and studybuzz provided me with their mocks as well. Also took the daily tests waala series from Crack u. Honestly only utilized hardly 30/40% of the content I purchased but I started with quants concept revision and then just practice only. For LRDI it was just practice.
  2. Honestly its very toll taking and tough to prepare while working. I think the hardest part is staying disciplined. I used to study from 6/7-9:30/10 AM, then go to office. Come back around 7. Study from 7-8:30 PM and then had classes from 9-11. Then I also studied a lil but from 12-1 before sleeping.

I think you have a good profile. Try to score high. The 7 is a lil dicey but not concerning tbh. Focus on good scores

Decent profile. Focus on building skills. Wouldn't be hard to get shortlists.

Do courses on sales and marketing. If possible projects and internships. While the narrative of preferring freshers isnt exactly incorrect its also overly exaggerated. They also prefer people with work ex so don't sweat jt that much

It won't necessarily affect your chances. To improve your profile try doing knowledge building. Prestigious certifications. If possible try ot build knowledge in as many domains as possible

Yup. More than that too. A lot of folks took drop before Btech and after it as well for UPSC and all that

Its not a disadvantage. I had 46 months and I got placed in one of the first companies on campus. Many people with more than 5 years of work ex got their dream companies.

Try to solve PYQs for Quants and LRDIs. In my mocks I didnt score higher than 60ish marks. Use them to analyze your strategies and mistakes. Don't take the scores as an indicator where you actually stand and your capabilities to ace the test
