"CAT is one of the toughest, probably THE toughest exam in the world. Agreed" ???? !!!! CAT is the toughest exam in the world !!!! Who said to you? If CAT is the toughest, then what will you call the Civil Service Exam (UPSC) (IAS) ??? Take it once, feel it yourself !!!!
IIMs only mean for those who are preparing for this exam for at least 2-3years.....and if someone feels that experience counts s/he should not take this exam or should not consider any failure in this field and should move on with life.
hey all those people who gave CAT 06 and may be due 2 bad luck or some other circumstances failed to perform well!!! well i was one of the aspirants of for this years CAT, but english section really left no chances for me!!! Its fine with me as i belive more than every thing in myself!! I just look at those people like Vijay Mallya, Laxmi mittal, No IIM Student even is close by these people's even after getting great 6 figures salaries!!!! I prefer rather being like them instead of wasting another year for CAt preparation!! i know it may sound funny for most of you, but try trusting yourself you can do the impossible!!!
endorse your opinion when you say that "CAT is not the end of life".But having said that what if you prepared your heart out and failed to deliver due to pity errors . Well there are people who keep lots of expectations from themselves and cracking the CAT is self speaking statement for them or i would rather most of us.and this does not mean we do not have to work harder in life but clearing CAT might give us enough confidence and tonic to carry on forward in our lives. Well I am one of those guys who did put lots of effort money and time for preparation and even the mock CATs were showing good signs,but i faltered on the D day which matters the most and i will start all over again from scratch. But i m still in a kind of trauma ,from which i am trying to recover can u help me out?
The person who earns a lot from this hype is coaching institute. See calculation below.
Per student : 15000 /- Student per batch : 50 /- Total amount per batch : 750000 Batches (regular + crash course) with so called reputed institutes : 100 /- (approx) Total revenue per year : 7,50,00,000 (7.5 crore) Salary of each coach : 7,00,000 (7 lakh) No of coach : 10 max Salary cost : 70,00,000 (70 lakh) Rent of coahing building + misc : 50,00,000 (50 lakh) Other cost (books etc..) : 30 lakh NET INCOME : 6 crore
Can you imagine any MBA Student getting such salary even after rubbing his butt on those IIM benches?
They even used to teach what to answer when some one asks Why you are doing MBA...... This is so ridiculous...... Student who are going to these institute even don't know why they are doing MBA.
My personal experience. I tried to crack it 2 times without coaching, This time I tried to take coaching, but they were so bad that they don't deserve any explaination here. So unprofessional that they are not giving money taken for fees. So at last I filed a case in Consumer court against them.
The way IIMs planned the exam, it clearly shows a decline in expectations, especially in mathematics part.It may be concluded that they dont want students with high mathematical abilities. However, looking at job scene and 6 figured salaries, both require an excellent mathematics component inside students as jobs related to computational finance, derivatie trading etc are highly paid and both need a strong hold on mathematics and the stuff relevant to such requirement couldnt be seen in CAT this year.
Do u think any IIM graduate enjoy the same power and money as a civil servant.Certainly not.The easiest way to earn loads of money is to be a civil servant and loot the gov exchequer.Might sound ironic but that is the truth.

I thought of doing MBA but then thought of salary. Chose to go abroad. My friends went to IIM after wasting one year in preparation.
After two years, he went for the job he liked. The same time, I was doing what I want and earning 5 times more than what he was having. Who is a fool?
