**Serious buyers only**

Day 11 of my preparation journey......

Yesterday I started on Mensuration topic basics, revised Geometry through pyqs, attempted Line graph DI sets & also practiced Strengthen & weaken RCs along with Assumption-based RCs..

The daily prep routine continues & confidence is growing with each step forward towards exam date...

For today - 19 August, my plan is :

1. QA - will start Number system topic & will revise mensuration from ncert & pyqs

2. DILR - will do practice Tables-based DI sets

3. VARC - will focus on Inference-based RCs again with some Para summary practice questions

Today's Quote - “Consistency is what transforms average into excellence”

Aim remains unchanged - consistent effort every single day until 29 November 2026.

Same as title

Please tell me the classes you joined for **CAT PREP** and if you regret choosing it and if you'd choose another one, then which one.

Or you like your classes, whats the name. **Matunga/Dadar area (Mumbai) preferred**.

**Offline** is better for me but if you have chosen online please tell which one.

I bit extended. (I might be ranting.)

I want to join early bird classes for **CAT** **2027** soon. Im in 3rd year currently. I live near matunga area and have heard of 3 famous classes in dadar. Namely, **TIME, IMS and Career Launcher**. I have heard they all are good but the thing is, they do not give much details about themselves. And i don't know anyone who can tell me about the internal working of each one of them. I would like to know how each class is because a lot of classes work in a completely different way than they have said prior to admission and this is something I don't want to regret about.

If you have taken admission to any of these or completely different classes please let me know about them. If you regret joining or if its worth it.

Please help this lost child out 🙏🏻

Thank you in advance.

Hello all,

I am starting this series where we will be reading 1-2 articles daily (not Aeon for me), do 4 RC (I go to library, so I will do 2 RC at home before going to the library and then 2 RC in the library). Additionally will give 45 mins to VA daily (this is optional). I'll be posting the progress here daily. If you want to join, you can comment on this post daily about how much you have completed.

Let's build consistency together!

Editing the post after 20 days:

Changing Strategy - Read 1 Aeon Article Daily and solve 4 RCs without fail (this is non-negotiable now). Additionally, play Verbal Rush Daily - this is one of the features given by my coaching. If you are following me, you can solve 5-6 VA questions daily or more as per your comfort.

We are already done with 10 episodes … each video has 5 previous year questions chapterwise, next up will be geometry previous year questions … the playlist will surely be helpful for daily practice and will give you a fresh perspective maybe even a few new methods 😌🫡

If you guys want we can give the link

Hello everyone, I am planning to give the CAT 2206 exam and have not started the preparation yet, so needed help. I am completely lost on how to start the prep. So can anyone guide me on where to start, which paid course to take if any and is it realistically possible in 3 months to get a decent score. Would really appreciate your help.

Your percentile will move without you learning a single new concept provided you do this properly.

Spend equal amount of time in analysing the mock exam

1. Before you look at answers, re-attempt every wrong question untimed. See if you got it correct. If no, it was a knowledge gap. If yes, then it was a time-pressure error / silly mistake which is fixable. Also, these questions are whats important to get right.

2. Categorise every wrong / unattemped answer into buckets; Buckets I used were a) Dint know it, b) Knew it but misread it or made a silly mistake, c) knew it but no time to attemt, d) Conceptually wrong - should not have attempted

3. That d) category are the most dangerous ones. You are spending time, thinking you know it but there is a knowledge gap. Learn how to see through such questions and topics. Never select them till you learn the concept

4. Now make an excel sheet with this. also mark the topic in one column for each of these question.

Atter a few mocks you will start seeing a pattern. Across topics. And you will also start gaining widsom on how to select questions - which I feel is very important because it is a time bound exam.

Bring some structure to your analysis.

If anyone wants to discuss a template for this, feel free to post on r/GIM_Goa. We'd be happy to help

Day 10 of my preparation journey....

Yesterday... I started Geometry topic, did revision of Algebra, practiced Pie chart DI sets & worked on Assumption-based RCs along with Inference-based RCs as revision..

The routine continues and confidence is building more and more with each step forward.

For today (18 August), my plan is like :

1. Quants : will start Mensuration topic & revise Geometry through pyqs practice

2. DILR : will attempt Line Graph DI sets for variety in study

3. VARC : will focus on strengthen/weaken RCs & continue with Assumption-based RCs yesterday's topic

Quote of the day : *“*Great things are not done by impulse but by a series of small things brought together.”

My aim remains unchanged .... consistent effort every single day until 29 November 2026....

As per title
Great course for engineers specifically, and for anyone not scoring upto the mark

Price is little over my planned budget so thought of splitting

Dm if interested

Edit- 😭idk why engineers got triggered after reading this. It was news to me that so many of you face the same issue. I request you that instead of making this an engineer vs non-engineer debate, please see the point I'm trying to make - This current policy effectively treats institutional grading differences as an applicant's academic failure. We're literally on the same team :)

Hello everyone,

If you are a law graduate (especially from an NLU) or any non-engineer prepping for CAT, there exists a massive policy failure at IIM Ahmedabad that is completely flying under the radar and needs to be talked about.

We know IIM-A has "Academic Categories" to bring in diversity. As lawyers, we are put into AC-5 alongside Arts, Humanities, and Liberal Arts graduates. On paper, it sounds great—we don't have to compete with 99.9%ile engineers.

But in reality? The math is completely rigged against us because of categorical clumping.

Anyone who went to an NLU knows how notoriously brutal the grading is. Getting above 70% usually means you are in the top 10% of your batch. I can only tell you about my uni but I assure you it isn't far off in other NLUs, as a matter of fact it is worse in some colleges like Faculty of Law, DU.

Now look at central or state university humanities/arts departments. Because of incredibly liberal marking, students regularly graduate with 75%, 80%, or even 85% aggregates.

Because IIM-A clumps us all into AC-5, we are forced to compete directly against these inflated scores.

How this kills IIM-A dreams:

1. Pathway 1 (The Direct Interview Bypass) is impossible: To get a direct interview call through Pathway 1 (the top 5% of your category), your grad score must be ≥ the 80th percentile of the total AC-5 pool. Because the pool is flooded with high-scoring humanities grads, that cutoff sits around 77%–79%. This would sit around a CGPA of more than 8.2 which is extremely rare in a law school. My class topper, with 4163/5500 ~ 76% marks would not be able to meet this criteria.
2. Pathway 2 (The Composite Score) : If you have a 65% from an NLU (which is usually class average), you get slammed with a terrible Application Rating (AR) score (5 out of 10). To make up for this structural deficit against a humanities grad who got a 10/10 for an 78% score, you don't just need a good CAT score. You need a near-impossible 99.85+ percentile.

This current policy effectively treats institutional grading differences as an applicant's academic failure.  

Other top colleges already solved this:

• IIM Calcutta & FMS Delhi completely scrap graduation marks for the initial interview call.

IIM Ahmedabad needs to fix this ahead of the next cycle. The solution is simple:

1. Create an exclusive AC-7 category for Law grads so the percentile calculation is fair.
2. Or, scrap grad marks as an essential eligibility.

I'm drafting a formal representation letter to send to the IIM-A Admissions Committee. If you are a law grad or a non-engineer who feels cheated by these broad categories, upvote this for visibility. Our best chance for a policy shift is to push for institutional dialogue.

Would love to connect with you if you're facing the same and explore other ways to bring about a positive change for fellow lawyers.

I have Arun Sharma books + Mocks from Rodha, need to practice a lot but I am getting stuck with too many things, if you know what I mean.

Every morning, I have a zeal to go on and practice but maybe because of too much of resources around, I am getting sidetracked and end up doing very less sums/questions a day. The looming threat of not doing the adequate level of questions is yet another time killer.

Please anyone, who has had prepared for CAT, can you suggest a structured way to proceed with practice of questions. So that in this time of chaos, I can practice enough knowing I am not leaving behind anything.

Hey folks......

We are about 3.5 months away from CAT 2026 (Nov 29). I am trying to keep my prep steady & not overload myself with too many resources....... My current routine looks like this

1. Quants : concepts from free Youtube playlists (EduShastra, 2IM) & CAT pyqs for topic wise practice

2. DILR : sectional sets from TIME material & some free caselets online available

3. VARC : daily reading (editorials, Aeon, Hindu np) + 2 RCs & para summary,para jumbles practice

I am focusing more on consistency - even 2-3 hrs daily study feels enough if I stick to it on regular

How all you are structuring their prep in these last 100+ days...... Do you prefer one source for concepts or mix multiple ? also could u plz tell me any underrated free material you have found useful for this final stretch ?

Day 9 of my preparation journey.....

Yesterday... I start Algebra basics, revised Profit & loss topic, attempted Bar graph DI sets & practice Inference-based RCs along with Para summary Qns.

The routine is as usual as and my confidence is building one step at a time

For today - 17 August , my plan is

1. QA - will start Geometry basics & revise yesterdays's Algebra topic

2. DILR - will do work on Pie Chart DI sets for making my analytical and decision making ability more improved through quesns

3. VARC - will start doing Assumption-based RCs & continue with inference based RCs as revision practice

Today's quote - “Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in & day out.”

Aim is still alive & consistent every single day until 29 November 2026....

Hi everyone.....

I am starting my CAT 2027 preparation & feeling a bit lost about where to begin..... how to start ?

As I m new I would like to get appreciate suggestions on these things -

1. Quants basics resources

2. DILR practice strategies, &

3. VARC preparation tips

I am looking for free or affordable sources & a simple daily routine to follow for CAT 2027 prep....

Any advice from seniors or ex aspirants would mean a lot to me

Thanks
