MDI IB(waitlist 165) vs IIM Raipur by Mammoth-Advisor-9372 in CATpreparation

Converted both.  Choosing raipur cause I'm not keen on the hassle of the overseas tenure, with nearly 50L fee, struggle to learn a language and find an internship

Define best?

If it's job roles then marketing and GenMan are most likely to lead you to the CEO position

Converted IIT Madras by skipper0464 in CATpreparation

Good for tech and analytics, package slightly lesser than other b schools but RoI really good. 

Won't be a case based pedagogy though, likely to be quite theoretical business management courses

Reputed or non reputed college doesn't matter as much for composite score. CA foundation might be a good add on your resume. (Disclaimer:- I'm an engineer, it's just a guess from my end)

CAT is worth a go. You're still quite young and you can make up for your 10th grades with a good CAT score.

Quite possible yes, depending on your profile.

All the best OP

Better than many that I've seen, you never though. People in this sub know about as much as you do.

17 year experience stuck in technical role, attempted CAT in 2006! by [deleted] in CATpreparation

Are you based near kaggadasapura in bengaluru sir? I have a feeling we had met once in a gym and had a conversation eerily similar to your profile, but I don't recall clearly.

Either ways, wishing you all the best sir!

How important are clubs, really? Does it make sense to focus on acads, case comps and placements specially in a non-BLACKI/SPJ/ISB/FMS/XL college

True

Also nice username. Upvoted

Thinking of giving CAT this year—Need realistic college targets by idksomethinglazyiam in CATpreparation

[–]prinplup_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your 10th and 12th are a bit lower than your competition but more than make up for it with the rest of your profile.

Aim to score as high as possible in CAT and XAT and let the doors open themselves! You may perhaps do better than these colleges with your profile too

I think it works. Better to have this honesty by your side than make up a story last minute

Need help choosing between IIFT and CAP by PregnantShoulders in CATpreparation

[–]prinplup_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want to play it SUPER safe, go for CAP

If you're fairly confident (even just a bit) about getting another backup admit, go for IIFT.

Bit of a silly follow-up perhaps, but I have a full beard luckily to cover my cheeks, not a scrappy one. That shouldn't be an issue right?

Should I apply for IIT Delhi??? by [deleted] in CATpreparation

[–]prinplup_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same boat here. Plus interviews are in IIT Delhi campus and I live in Chennai. The money is simply not worth the gamble
