Hey please do a video with a non-engg who has average 7/7/7 or 8/8/8 academics, doesn't have any extraordinary achievements in profile but still managed to get in IIM's and did well in placements too..

Let me explain this - courses in general have no value unless you can showcase what you learned and applied from them during interviews. But, will you be shortlisted for an interview or not depends on your resume and resume needs points, one of which is courses. Hence, they are important on paper.

A strong reason to clear it in the first attempt will keep you on track as well as motivated. Once the reason is clear, the fear should cease to exist since you have a clear goal driven by reason in place. Now all you need are actions.

And somewhere the reason behind that could be that I don't feel much prepared for the CAT. Please guide.

[@Shweta-Arora]

Prioritise what matters most to you out of the two options. The preparation for both is largely similar. You could practice a few questions generally asked during interviews and that should help you crack them well. That won't take very long. This can be taken up during the weekends too.
