Average screen time of a CAT Aspirant

I am not able to quit my social media addiction. I tried uninstalling, setting timer but nothing really worked.

If you guys have any suggestion please feel free to share.

IIM ABC

How difficult it is for an st category candidate with 9/9/9 acads, decent profile, and passed out from a tier 1 ug college, to get into IIM ABC? And how much percentile does he need to score? (Asking for a friend)

Preparing for CAT 2026

I have been working as a Software Engineer in a service-based company for 1.5 years. I was preparing for a job switch, but now I'm thinking about CAT 2026. My profile is OBC (Male), 91.4% in 10th, 93% in 12th, 7.53 CGPA, and 1.5 years of work experience. Is it a good idea to focus on CAT instead of switching jobs? Is my profile good for top B-schools, and which mock tests should I start with?

Can I skip Number system?

Tbh it is a boring topic and heard that the weitage is also on the lower side.

Hello everyone, I will be joining a company as a Digital Marketing Executive soon. I also plan to prepare for CAT in the future. Before that, I want to improve my marketing skills. What skills should I learn?

Which certifications are worth doing and can help me build a good career in marketing?

Drop the smallest CAT prep habit you're embarrassed to admit.

Whenever a mock goes badly...

I don't analyze it immediately.

I just stare at the score for five minutes hoping it changes.

Your turn.

No judgment.

The confidence cycle of every CAT aspirant is hilarious.

Monday: "I can definitely score 99 percentile."

Wednesday: "Maybe 95 is realistic."

Friday: "IIMs are overrated anyway."

Sunday after mock: "I should become a farmer."

Then Monday again...

My mom just called and told me I won't be disappointed in you if you drop out. I think I'm going to this week, from T1 college.

Joined a Non-BLACKI tier 1 MBA around a week back. Been hellish ever since for several reasons. Not felt this suffocated in forever. Maybe it was also a mismatch between my idea of what MBA is like and the reality. Honestly, not even that much to do with the course, but about my ability to fit in socially. I'm unable to talk to anyone here, feel very isolated, and constantly having a racing heart.

I've always had mental health issues throughout my life, and now they are already flaring up pretty badly to be very honest. I'm having incredibly morbid thoughts and ideations.

My mom called and said please come back if you think this is unbearable. And I think I might.

The future scares me, about having to answer this to others, but I feel so numb rn. Rn for me everything is the bleakest it has been in ages, I'm regretting every single decision that made me give my entire life to CAT for last 1.5 years, and regretting my whole life in

general.
