Just a reminder! A large number of students unfortunately think that CAT is all about three Sections: Quant/ LR-DI/VARC. Please be informed again and again that CAT is much more than these three Sections.  It is extremely important to be very clear about  what all is required   to do  well in CAT 2024/25/XX. We should also be clear about the books and notes (Tool Kit) required to prepare for CAT. Please start collecting following books and material (Tool...

If you ask them unofficially, they will inform that  the syllabus of Maths and English for CAT is of 10 th Standard! This may be quite misleading. As per the CAT 2023 bulletin there will be three sections in CAT as has been the case for the past several years. The same system is likely to be there in the next few years, at least. The three Sections are: (1) Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC) (2) Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR) (3) Quantitative Aptitude (QA) (1) ...

Article(22) CAT-a-LOG: Why not You-tube Channel for Training/Mentoring? (Click here for the next or previous articles: 1     2     3     4     5     6     7      8      9     10     11     12     13     14     15    16   17   18   19   20   21   22 ) Have received a few suggestions from students about making a You-tube channel and uploading video lectures on different topics. While this suggestion is very good, would like to accentuate that primarily efforts are being made to wean away CAT aspirants from Coaching Classes to make them Self-reliant and self-mentors.  There are already plethora of very good basic videos available on you-tube almost on all topics and all subject areas. Would certainly provide Links of some of these videos Dec 2023 onwards. Additionally, I may record and upload...

Now, you will be able to appreciate the importance of identifying and removing the real time wasters so as to have efficient Time Management. I have purposely avoided to use the word discipline! It is very easy to tell the students: Be disciplined! The word Discipline reminds  tobacco chewing indisciplined School Teachers of my Govt. Schools! Their usual refrain used to be :  Discipline is the backbone of Character . 'Discipline'...

Article(16) CAT-a-Log: Be a Self-Mentor!

None!  Can you have a whole time mentor assigned to  you? Never! No institute will offer you that luxury. Their mentors in Coaching Institutes have approximately 200 students each to mentor!  The best way  to have a whole time mentor is to appoint yourself as a mentor! Just be a self mentor for 24x7!  You will  never  find a better or more committed Mentor! Coaching Institute's faculty don't have have time, willingness and even capability to be a mentor to such a large number...
