Bro actually i am 25 years old and i started prep for cat on 2020 by taking drop .. but after corona i decided to drop the plan preping for cat and do mba from small college from my hometown and started to handle my father’s business but now i realise my mistake and now i want to prepare for cat its been almost 4 years since i’ve been graduated so can you please tell me is it a better decision? Will i get selected in iims? Nd yes i’ve done job in flipkart as well for 9 months.. Please do reply its very crucial for me. And please tell whts ur age?

[@aditya_shelar]

Hi Tanuj, I would recommend you to go for executive MBA (1 year full time MBA with placement assistance). Given that you have experience of managing your father’s business along with short stint at Flipkart, you will be eligible for multiple opportunities now. IIM K offers PGP-BL for 3+ years of experience, and then we have IIM A, B, C and L offering executive PGP after 4 to 5 years of MBA. (Given you were managing your father’s business, you can submit the ITR forms as proof documentation). To get into an executive PGP (MBA) course, you need to appear for GMAT exam, scoring 680 with decent acads should get you a call back for interview.

[@tanujsoni852]

@@aditya_shelar bro my average was around 73 in 10th and 12 and around 64 in grad so am i eligible for 1 year executive mba? And u r talking about studying abroad right? Is 1 year course sufficient for stepping ahead towards a better future with decent income ?

[@aditya_shelar]

@@tanujsoni852 Hi, given you have scored more than 60%, you are eligible for all the courses. And I am not talking about MBA overseas (though you can consider it), I am talking about one year MBA (executive MBA aby IIMs and newly introduced PGP-BL by IIM-K). You can visit official website of IIMs to know more about it!

[@tanujsoni852]

Okay bro thanks alott🥰

[@rahulbora5159]

What can we as an aspirant do to make our extra carriculum section look better, as I am a fresher and bcom grad and do not have an extraordinary academic feat. What can I do to make my profile standout?

[@aditya_shelar]

Hi Rahul, so here is the plan to curate a perfect profile: - First year: Targets sports competitions, clubs, fest/event organisation committees (basically, FY hai- you can take it a bit lightly) - Summers between FY and SY: Target impact/social/NGO internship or volunteering - Second year: You can take up student council resposibility, target research paper competitions, case study competitions (check out Unstop), start a professional course with one year target in mind. If time allows, pursue some tech courses as well (SQL, R, Python, Tableau, Alteryx). - Summers between SY and TY: Target corporate internship programs in big 4, fortune 500 companies, or any firm from your target sector domain - Third year: Complete the professional courses started in SY, start something new in college that would showcase leadership initiative, join placement committee, work on getting more companies to the college, engage with alumni. By end of third year, by following this plan, I expect you to get placed in a good role at a good company, if you have MBA on your mind, then its a different story! I hope this helps, all the best! :))

[@DrASURA-sm8oe]

sir , if we want to do MBA then what to do@@aditya_shelar

[@aditya_shelar]

@@DrASURA-sm8oe De-prioritise extral curricular activities in second and third year to some extent (as per your preference) and start your preparation in Dec (mid-second year) and appear for CAT in the third year/last year of your graduation (mid-third year). If you are pursuing a 4 year degree, switch this to third and fourth year accordingly.

[@arjunasi8940]

Helo sir it was my dream to do my MAB in IIM K 🥺 My acadameics in 10th and 12th 67.5 and 63 and my graduation Avg of 4 sem is 60.5 I'm now doing BBA can i get call from IIM K? Or i want to get call how many Percentile wants to get in CAT? 😊❤

[@aditya_shelar]

Hi Arjun, given you have scored 60%+ in 10th/12th/Grad - you are eligible to apply for all the B-schools. To give you a practical picture, it is going to be difficult, but don't loose hope no matter what! 'How much percentile is required?' - this question is completely irrelevant (or consider the requirement to be 100%ile), focus on getting the best possible score and once the results are out, we can figure best options amongst IIMs and other B-schools and decide accordingly. Stay focused, prepare well for your CAT exam! All the best :)

Percentile ka tension mat lo bhai, just try to give your best! (Safe side - 80%ile plus BLACKI calls ajayenga). Best wishes for CAT 2024! :)) Bdw- great one in 12th! 94% is a great score!

[@RahulPandey-sk9vd]

Don't u think ..all these ques are answerable..if u are not prepared😂😂😂

[@aditya_shelar]

Easier said than done...

[@mehtayushh]

do we necessarily need to carry original docs?

[@aditya_shelar]

Yes, placement committee conducts a CV audit where you have to produce original documents supporting all claims made on the CV!

[@chaitanyabhartiya7365]

Hello brother I have completed my graduation in 2023 preparing for 2024 took a gap year after my grad, I just have 3 months experience will gap year affect if I score good score in CAT?

[@aditya_shelar]

Gap year won’t affect your conversion prospects, time being focus on getting a good CAT score :))

[@rushikeshanivase9417]

What was your cat percentile

[@stockmarkettrust]

After cfa+ us cma is not better growth like mba from new or baby iim

[@aditya_shelar]

MBA and professional certifications offer very different trajectory. Wouldn’t compare on the same scale :)

[@shabinshaji979]

bro is work experience compulsory for applying

[@aditya_shelar]

Not compulsory

[@stockmarkettrust]

I am working in stock market 1 year experience i don't quite my job in this case cfa is better option or quite job go for mba

[@aditya_shelar]

Given your academics and current work experience, I would recommend you to appear for CAT, but without quitting your job. This might seem to be difficult- managing study and work simultaneously, but to get extraordinary results, we have to push the limits! Once you get into a Bschool (if new/baby IIMs or any other decent Bschool), would again push you to pursue CFA L1 along with MBA first year. By the time you sit for placements in second year, your profile would be upto the mark in order to land a great job in Finance domain.

[@pavithra6889]

Now you are in whch college

Hi Pavithra, I completed my MBA from IIM Lucknow (2021-23), and currently working at KPMG Global as Consultant.

[@stockmarkettrust]

Delhi school of economics is good for mba Because my academic very low 60/66/60 10th 12th grade What i will do top business difficult due to low acad Cfa + us cma is better or do mba from dse

[@aditya_shelar]

There are many good b-schools in India, though IIMs are tagged as the ultimate place to be; I have seen students from tier 2 and 3 colleges overtake IIM grads over time through building strong experience. Coming to your prep for CAT 2023 or 2024, just don’t think about what has already happened (it’s a complete waste of time to think about something that we cannot change - academics). So the advice from my end would be, until your CAT attempt, don’t get distracted. If you ate clear about pursuing MBA, give your 100% to CAT and make sure you extract the best score possible. Once your CAT result is out, we can strategise around which is the best college we can attend to have a rockstar career ahead!! I hope this helps :)

[@Rishi21385]

How is PGP LSM ?

[@aditya_shelar]

Currently, MBA-SM (PGP-SM) is a sleeping giant, I expect exponential growth in sustainability roles in India (ESG, BRSR reporting, Climate related biz functions, etc.) and lack of SM professionals is driving great demand and significant pay premium towards this course.

[@AltafSeikh-td8gu]

Sir then did you convert iim k ?

[@aditya_shelar]

I did convert IIM K, but only for PGP-Finance, couldn’t covert the PGP call.

[@stockmarkettrust]

Cfa vs baby iim mba which one is best

[@aditya_shelar]

Both courses has its pros and cons, difficult to put it on the same scale for comparison. Though, let me highlight some fundamental differences- If you have a healthy budget to spend, plus you want to explore multiple options (finance + other streams) and also balance it out with other benefits such as networking & improving soft skills - MBA from baby IIMs can help :) If you want to optimise your spending, are clear about your career choice (finance) and can work on soft skill development part on your own, CFA would be the right choice!
