We are conditioned to prepare in a particular way right from childhood - CAT is different - out of 300000 students you will have to be extra ordinary no dbt.</p> <p>Let me share my experience -<br /> 1. Any reputed coaching centres will give some fantastic material ..no dbt about that. However coaching I beg to differ..you need to be lucky to get good teachers..that plays the role - I can also find the most tough sums - if there is somebody who can help you HELP YOURSELF - then it makes the difference</p> <p>2. CAT is not the usual PU exam etc...It has something very crucial which we fail to identify..</p> <p>I had been through CATLounge and it gave me a great feeling. There is no teaching and preaching - it just helps you solve problems yourself - you will learn to identify the smart way of doing sums - it will give you no choice but solve it yourself - which enhances your confidence - that is the key to CAT.</p> <p>If you have any doubts - be it anything about CAT or the site - be frank and I will try my best to assist you. I am also preparing for CAT2009 ;-)<br /> my mail id is - problemsolving2009@gmail.com</p> <p>Cheers!! </p> http://www.forums.mbapursuit.com/topic/preparing-for-cat#post-509 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 08:04:17 +0000 mohana krishna 509@http://www.forums.mbapursuit.com/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>Iam starting to prepare for CAT 2009,is there any action plan ? please suggest,is there any website where complete CAT study material or Online CAT books can be downloaded ?

How we will get CAT examination notification, generally in which month we will get notification?<br /> 2. What is the minimum qualification.<br /> 3. What proofs we should provide along with examination application?<br /> 4. How we will came to know with prior intimation the causes of application rejected if any?<br /> 5. What are all the precautions we should take in application fillup?</p> <p>Note: My sister has been applied for CAT entrance examination(2008-2009), but didn't recieve hallticket from the IIM hence i made a call to help line which is provided in application for status checking then only we came to application was cancelled/rejected due to insufficient document submition. We don't have prior intimation to resumbit the documents again, as my suggestion is we should get intimation. Because of this simple issue students will lose one year.</p> <p>I will appriciate/happy if anyone answer for the above?</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Subbarao. </p> http://www.forums.mbapursuit.com/topic/preparing-for-cat#post-481 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 09:12:47 +0000 Shraddha1986 481@http://www.forums.mbapursuit.com/ <p>Hi I think now is the right time, i started prep in the final yr of graduation and now I think I could have done better. </p> http://www.forums.mbapursuit.com/topic/preparing-for-cat#post-478 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:25:39 +0000 vijay.kakadiya 478@http://www.forums.mbapursuit.com/ <p>i'm in S.Y B.E.<br /> wt wud b ri8 tym to start preparing 4 CAt ? </p> http://www.forums.mbapursuit.com/topic/which-job-for-cat-2008#post-243 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:47:16 +0000 Aparna 243@http://www.forums.mbapursuit.com/ <p>What is your background and what specialisation are you going to take in MBA will matter </p> <p>have a look at http://www.mbapursuit.com/mba_info/mba-specialisations </p> http://www.forums.mbapursuit.com/topic/which-job-for-cat-2008#post-145 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:07:55 +0000 Anonymous 145@http://www.forums.mbapursuit.com/ <p>I AM PERSUING FINAL YEAR...
