I am currently pursuing my bsc from Delhi University I want to prepare for cat exam where should I start.should I consider a coaching and if which one.

Ans: Hi Nitin

For a 20+ years work experience, I am sure you wold have seen it all. I am not really sure how much an MBA is going to add value to your profile!

An MBA from abroad might add a greater value to you and you might get to interact with other people with similar background

In Indian B schools, I don't think you would get anyone similar to compare notes.

Would love to hear more on your decision

Ans: I do record videos on how to prepare for CAT in my YouTube channel. You can refer to that. Ideal steps to start preparing for CAT is to first write a Mock CAT to understand the pattern of the paper.
Next talk to students who have written CAT and get guidance from them in terms of how to prepare what mistakes to avoid, etc.
Third make a written plan as to how you plan to prepare for the CAT syllabus.
Fourth start with your preparation.

Ans: Good time to start would be after your 1st year (if you are doing a 3 year Bachelors degree) or after your 2nd year (if you are doing 4 year Bachelors degree). You will have 1.5 years to prepare for the exam. There are students who also prepare for less than 6 months and crack the exam. In the meantime ensure you do well in your academics in your college, create a good habit of reading and take up internship post your 1st year of graduation.

Ans: Paritosh, You have NOT mentioned you have completed BSc in What? Anyway, here are some suggestions. (1) You will have to change your preparation strategies for your CAT & Govt. Exams (2) Analyze over your Syllabus / Questions asked in the Exams you appeared (3) Focus more on Difficult / Complicated / Tough / Lengthy / Wrongly Answered Questions & give more importance for high-weightage subjects like Maths (4) Prepare short notes, depending upon the Topics and which you think you might forget often. (5) You know a lot of things, but you will NOT remember many things. Every day, you should revise what you have studied during the day before going to bed for 30-40 minutes. (6) Also, you should keep revising frequently (weekly / bi-weekly / fortnightly the topics you have already covered, especially tough topics / subjects (7) Study for 35-45 minutes and take a 10-minutes break. If you study beyond 45 minutes, you will start losing your Concentration Power and output will be which you should avoid. (8) Prefer studying tough topics / subjects early morning when your mind will be 100% fresh (9) To keep yourself physically and mentally fit, do Yoga or Meditation or any other Physical Exercises at least for 30-minutes either morning or evening, whichever will be convenient to you. (10) You should have a minimum of 7.30 hours sleep. (11) Time Management is more important. All The BEST for your Bright Future.
