I have was just wondering about. Which type of people are there in IIMs and B SCHOOLS. As what are there non academic value system.
Are the too GEN-Z type crowd , are they corporate like hedonistics , do they value basic human decency, loyalty, kindness to peers?
Do they even use their mother tongues.
Are they wannabies , shows offs?
What type of morals they hold…individualistic? Or going together types
Do they generally display tier 1 city type thinking , or tier 2 types.
How’s their fashion sense?
Etc.
if can enlighten me?
GNEM 8/8/7, I will be completing 24 months of experience by this month. My dilemma is should I leave my job and prepare for CAT because for last 3 attempts I haven't been able to balance both and achieve a good percentile (71 percentile in 2025) since my job takes most of my time away.
Should I leave the job and prepare or continue the job. What would be the right choice can anyone plead help me make the right choice
Been comparing mock test series for CAT prep for the past few days and honestly a bit confused between IMS, Cracku, Times and CL.
Thinking of buying 2 to get a proper sense of where I stand instead of just relying on one. Have fixated Cracku's DashCATs as getting it at a very low price and have heard it to be of good quality and along with this should I go for IMS/CL/Times?
Should I send it chat? 😏 2k upvotes and I'll send it
I'm in my final year of college and seriously considering appearing for CAT 2026. I've been prepping for SSC CGL since my first year I studied properly back then but slacked off in the second year. Now, the thought of restarting CGL prep doesn't excite me at all, and I'm leaning towards CAT instead. I can dedicate 6-7 hours daily from now onwards. But I keep wondering: Am I already too late?
For context, I took a CAT 2025 Slot 2 paper as a mock recently. With my existing CGL background, I managed:
Is this typical for a complete beginner, or did my CGL prep give me some edge? Also, how much does SSC CGL preparation actually help for CAT significantly or just slightly?
Should I join an offline coaching institute, go for an online course, or is YouTube/self-study sufficient if I'm consistent with 6-7 hours a day?
Any realistic advice, study plans would be really helpful. Feeling a bit anxious. Thanks in advance!
I ve been investing 9 10hrs daily still i can't tend to stop this problem of mine.It is ruining my lrdi attempts.This section is the one most affected by my anxiety.I can solve sets but doing it during exam makes me anxious and I tend to make mistakes.Can somebody help?
I had 79% in my class 12th board exams cbse... Then I applied for improvement in one subject and my percentage rose to 80.2%
So my question is do iims consider improvement exam marks?
Does someone have pirated CAT resources?

Hey folks,
Need some help figuring out my MBA path in India.
Profile:
Non‑engineering male
7/7/7 academics (10th/12th/UG)
3+ years of work experience
Current package ~16 LPA
I’ve been told (Vercel) that I should be targeting 99+ percentile to get into the top schools (any ai research and college alumni at my workplace said 97+ should be fine but I’m going with the higher number). I’m fine with grinding for CAT, and also open to putting in the effort for GMAT if that opens up better options.
The dilemma is whether it makes sense to go for a Tier‑2 or below MBA when I’m already at 16 LPA. I’ve seen friends go abroad and then have to come back, so I’d prefer to stay in India.
What I’m trying to figure out:
With this profile, which colleges should I realistically aim for if I hit 99+?
Is a Tier‑2 MBA even worth it in my situation?
Any other colleges/exams I should be looking at apart from CAT/GMAT?
Would love to hear from people who’ve been in a similar spot or know the landscape well.
Disclaimer: I used Copilot to polish up this draft because my thoughts were all over the place.
What are my chances
10th - 79% 😭🙏 Covid batch, schl fked my marks up
12th - 85.5 %
Cgpa - 8.4
Internships - 3 as of now. ( Possibly end up with 5 or 4 itself) So basically no work experience

Gonna attempt CAT26.
Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate your thoughts on whether preparing for CAT makes sense given my profile.
My profile:
ST, Male, 23
8/8/7 academics
Graduated from a Tier 1 college
1.5 years of work experience at a Big 4
I left my job earlier this year to prepare for competitive exams. While I genuinely want to pursue an MBA, my parents strongly feel I should focus on government or regulatory body exams instead.
Coming from a small town, spending ₹20–30 lakhs on an MBA isn’t viewed very positively. Their concern is that placements are never guaranteed, and even if you do get placed, there’s no real job security afterward. Hearing this repeatedly has made me question whether the investment is actually worth it.
Because of that, I’m hesitant to take on such a huge financial commitment unless it’s for a college like FMS, where the ROI is exceptional. But getting into FMS is, of course, highly competitive.
I’d really appreciate an objective assessment of whether pursuing CAT is a sensible choice in my situation, and whether my profile gives me a realistic shot at colleges where the ROI would justify the investment.
Would appreciate any honest advice, especially from people who’ve been in a similar situation.
