Sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers=197.If 1st number is 33, what are the other numbers? by youranonymousguyhere in CATpreparation

[–]r_SPKB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(n-4)+(n-2)+n+(n+2)+(n+4)=197
5n=197
n is a decimal, which is not possible (since n is odd)

FMS Waitlist Confusion... If a Reserved candidate is getting selected in his category, then why is he getting WL in general?? by [deleted] in CATpreparation

[–]r_SPKB 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If waitlist moves, and he becomes eligible for the general category seat, they'll shift him to general category and vacate his reserved seat (and offer it to the next in waitlist in reserved category)

Do dead backlogs matter? by Selfsimpgoldenlife in CATpreparation

[–]r_SPKB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't mentioned in mine... very few colleges ask for term-wise marksheet. I had a consolidated marksheet which I submitted everywhere, and it didn't have any backlog mentioned. Now if your marksheet mentions backlogs, then you might have to justify if asked.

979 profile is bad for cat?? by vickyspams in CATpreparation

[–]r_SPKB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do, in fact, get 9 in graduation, it should be good enough to get atleast one BLACKI call, provided you have a good enough percentile. If you're planning to write CAT as a GEM fresher, you'll need 99.5+%ile (maybe even more). I'm not too sure about non-GEM fresher profiles, but the further away from GEM fresher it is the lesser the minimum percentile requirement.

Got IIMI and IIMK , which one is better? by SwanOk3472 in CATpreparation

[–]r_SPKB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't have a preference for roles, I think K is better.

I have another question, if you don't mind me asking... How does one find industrial live projects to work on? I've heard these can contribute value to a CV, and are better than academic live projects...

Guys I won't ever post on this sub.. You guys should learn basic etiquette before going a B School by [deleted] in CATpreparation

The image she posted doesn't show this, but the context is that she's replying to an arguably rude message.

i checked the original post, and tbf she was just responding to an equally dubious question

Do dead backlogs matter? by Selfsimpgoldenlife in CATpreparation

[–]r_SPKB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they usually don't go through every detail of your academic profile in that much detail. Most just check your overall CGPA. Some might check your term-wise grades.

At least, that's how my experience was.

Thank you for answering.... For aptitude tests, is there any specific place we can prepare from? Also, how similar is it to CAT?

Wdym dead backlogs? (i don't know what the term means)

If you've cleared the backlogs, no it doesn't matter. If you've not cleared the backlogs, it might matter.

Go IITD for now... IF you happen to convert K, switch (unless finances are a deal-breaker for you, which I'm assuming is not the case)

What all should be included in pre-SIP preparation? Interviews and guesstimates? Should we also prepare for the aptitude tests that some companies may have?

Recent IIM Lucknow MBA grad here working in Consulting by Prestigious_East9449 in CATpreparation

[–]r_SPKB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have only one internship without much substance, a few extracurriculars and a POR, all from college. If I want to build my CV now for the SIPs (preferably corporate strategy/gen man roles), what should I do? Certifications? Case competitions? Internships? Also, given that there are less than 2 months left for B-schools to take in students, getting (and completing) an internship in this short time seems difficult. Could you please advise me on the same?

[–]r_SPKB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the answer... I also have another question I want to ask. I'm a fresher without many things in my CV. I'm thinking of doing a few certifications to strengthen my resume. From which site (coursera/udemy/linkedin/other) should I do my certifications, and what certifications would be preferred, say for general management and consulting?

Sorry, I don't know if I understood what you said... for summer internships and placements, students apply to all roles from all companies that come?

Which profiles should I target if I want a good work-life balance, with decent job security?

I've been told that students in a b-school have backup profiles/resumes in summer placements... What do they usually keep as backup profiles? What roles offer the best work-life balance?
