| Q.Sir, I am living in a place where there is no CAT coaching institute therefore I am planning to go Bangalore to take coaching but I am getting just 1 month holiday & I am taking classes of 1 month will it benefit me to get admission in top b-school like IIMs or any other. Do toppers are taking coaching or they are self studying? (June 16, 2009) |
| A.Dear Mohiddin, there are cases of students who prepare on their own - self study - and make it to good B-schools. If you are preparing otherwise also one month hectic preparation may help. But if you want to devote just one month for the preparation it may not be adequate however bright you may be |
| Q.Respected sir, I have scored 79% in 10th, 66% in PUC and currently in my final year of BE (computer science) with current aggregate of 57%. I got year back in my third year. I can manage to bring up my percentage to 60 but I am worried if my year back will create a problem. I am preparing for CAT-09. Is it possible to get into any of the top 20 colleges with this academic background? If yes, what CAT score would I need? Please help. (June 16, 2009) |
| A.Dear Shiva Kumar, you will find difficulty in placement if you do not have a first class in engineering. As for securing seat in top 20 colleges CAT score of over 92 per centile is desirable |
