Hi everyone,

I’m planning to pursue a B.Sc life science from Delhi University and then go for an MBA through CAT. I’ve pretty much decided on doing B.Sc., and instead of going to a lower-tier college elsewhere, I feel DU would be the better option.

I just want some honest advice from people who’ve taken a similar path:

Is this path actually worth it? (B.Sc. → MBA through CAT)

When should I start CAT prep? Is starting from 2nd year a good idea?

How hectic does it get? Managing B.Sc. academics + CAT prep — is it realistically doable without burnout?

What does a typical schedule look like for someone balancing both?

I don’t want to make a wrong decision or underestimate the workload, so a real picture of the difficulty and lifestyle would really help.

Thanks!
