Thanks bhaiya for always motivating the folks. Soon you will be having more family members. Just love how you irrespective of your hectic mba schedule, don't forget to do vlogs..some days you need to pull all nighter, waking up at 4.00 am, feel like not to record ..still you preferred to keep going.

[@hrishi21g]

Hey Amol, really appreciate your videos. They're really helpful for me to not give up on my CAT prep. I also graduated in 2023 itself in BSc. Agriculture. I have my acad (9/9/8). I scored 92.83%le in CAT 23, missed the CAP for merely 2%le. Now I'm thinking of having a drop year for CAT 24 preparation. But I lack in VARC section. Can you please suggest me how to improve this section? and can you suggest which certification courses I can do to boost my CV and justify my gap year as well? Thanks in advance.

[@amol.katiyar]

Hello! Glad you found the videos helpful. You can choose those certification courses which are really relevant, such as blockchain, lean production, 6 sigma, tableau etc!

Yes because the coachings prepare you for all kinds of scenarios. You should practise harder questions so that on the D-day you find the actual paper easy :)

[@govindaagrawal816]

Bhaiya, are students not allowed to disclose any details that could have contributed to the selection upon converting any IIM? or is it just an IIMV thing?

Not all of it but yes we’re not allowed to disclose our percentiles. I have friends in other IIMs and there too they’re not allowed to do so

[@anushagupta3116]

Can I add 3rd sem marks in the cat form? What is the document verification procedure when appearing for the intervew?

A valid attempt requires you to be student of the last year (or at the completion of 3rd year)of your bachelors . Before interviews all your marksheets upto that year or semester will be verified

I have just started working in a company my joining date was 02 May 2023 still working..going to fill the cat application form ..should I mention my work experience till July 2023 ..likes it's just 3 months so is it worth mentioning in the form ??or I should just leave it blank??in application form they r going to consider me as a fresher..please help wht should I do??

[@amol.katiyar]

Hey! Yes you can fill it if you want to but you’ll be treated as a fresher only as they only award work-ex points to those having work-Ex above 12 months or so. But it’ll surely have some positive impact on your profile during the interviews :)

[@amol.katiyar]

Hey! First of all your profile is not totally bad. Your acads are decent and you've got a decent percentile too. Just perform your best in the interviews as IIMV gives 48% weightage to the interview. Also, If you're able to justify your gap years then there is no problem at all. Hope this helps :)

Start from the basics as it covers appx 30% of the paper. Then only you can go on to advanced topics. Secondly, mocks are a must thing try attempting atleast 20-25 mocks before the actual exam.
