- CAT is not an easy exam to crack. Which is why it’s super cool to know people who have persevered and cracked the CAT after various attempts. So what kind of strategy would a CAT topper recommend, especially when he has cracked the CAT only in his 2nd attempt? In this video, we speak with someone who scored a very high percentile in CAT 2018 and got into one of India's elite business schools. If you're looking for tips on how to crack the CAT and the mental attitude that goes with it, this is a must-watch for you.

Summary of the video
Shreyan Das graduated with a B.Sc in Economics, not just studying economics, but also majoring in statistics. His background gave him the unique perspective to fit well into a data analytics role. After failing to crack the CAT post graduation, Shreyan felt the need to expand his horizons. He opted to gain work experience, knowing that b-schools value a certain amount of work ex. After working for sometime though, Shreyan realised just why he needed to study an MBA.
He shares how his work at Team Computers, an IT services firm, taught him that an MBA degree would be invaluable in order to expedite his career graph. Keeping this in mind, Shreyan decided to attack the CAT a second time. This time around he took CAT prep very seriously. He realised early on during prep that his DI-LR section was the weakest, followed by the quant section. He focused all his energies on preparing for these sections, taking multiple mock tests and brushing up on his knowledge.
Finally, he managed to crack the CAT in 2018 with scores crossing 95%ile. He finally got shortlisted for and cracked the IIM K interview. If you want to know how you can prepare for the CAT and crack the interview process at a b-school like IIM Kozhikode, this is a must watch for you.
Key Takeaways
1. Talk to people from industry, your seniors and colleagues in order to develop the right mindset for CAT.
2. Perseverance is key to cracking the CAT.
3. An MBA helps expedite your career graph.
4. Do your best, forget the rest.
5. Undergraduate degrees are not valued much by corporates.

Cool guy
How does IIMK give a call at 95 percentile ? This amazes me. I got 0 calls at 98.7 percentile this year. I am planning to be serious this time though.
What about your 10 and 12 grades
@@amirshaikh6877 I got 10 CGPA in class X and 97.2%in Class XII. Although, I know my undergrad CGPA is average.
Reservation mate
It's written 95+ percentile, and not 95. Also, he is from general category @pranav
dude? It's not about the percentage... If you are an engineer not from an IIT(top ones).. they won't even shortlist you even if you get 100 perentile.. cause you'd be rendered useless in their academics... meaning ... a bsc economics or a guy with finance or an awesome IITian will excel in those subjects and you won't even stand below their foot in the competition.. if you are a Engineer not from IIT or NIT forget getting into iim's. IIM's are for the best top class people.. or a person who knows the subjects before hand like accounting or economics.
Ergo, if you can't compete with them you won't get a good cgpa and will be a burden to place you and then you can flaunt your 10cgpa in 10th.
Now why would they shorlist a candidate who they know will be a burden for them in Placements?
Is there any group where I can ask a general query?
Hi Kartik, Please ask your questions here : insideiim.com/community

Finally somebody from Christ
I get your policy, but you could have mentioned if his score by 99+ or not. i'm guessing the reason to write 95+ is it must have been below 99. 98-99 maybe.
IIMs don't allow students to publicize their scores
@@gomes8335 precisely why I didn't disclose mine. Thanks for mentioning this
He is a non-engg. IIMA takes non-engg at 98.5%ile
IIMK calls non-engg starting 95/96%ile with good acads. So around that.
Why does everyone (even my coaching class mentors, some All India online mentors and now even Shreyan) asks us to not to give any mock and not to study 2-3 days prior to CAT? @insideiim @Shreyan Dad please reply
Moral down
+ Put extra pressure on brain
@dazler98 Looking at your profile I could say you’re in IIMA or L now ? So could you answer this yourself ?
Really pissed at my mock scores especially from DILR. What to do guys ?

Which website mock u r doin ?
Bhai 2 din mein 4 mock kaun deta hai ? Kuch bhee ?
I m giving 😊
@Tarang Brother just taking the mock won't work in any case.... With each and every mock analysis of the mock is much more important. If u spend 3hrs on taking the mock atleast u need to spend 4hrs on analysis of each mock Try this from the next time and u will definitely see the results 😊

Dear sir,
Does CA or CMA articleship counts as a working experience to get admission into IIMs?
Plz sir clear my doubt
No
Virat kholi.... kid version
What is his category? SC??
General
@Abhinay Shrivastav He is a bsc
and a not b.tech thats why they mentioned 95%+ and not 99.99%, as he is under the academic diversity thing.
