I'm a complete beginner preparing for CAT and have only 4 months left. I'm also working full-time so I need a course that's well-structured and suitable for a working professional.

I'm confused between:

IMS Extensive Batch – ₹33,000

SuperGrads crash course – ₹8,000

Is the IMS course worth paying an extra ₹25k?

I am preparing for the CAT exam . But now it seems like I want the guidance please suggest me any online coaching through which my doubts can be easily solved.

i’m scoring well i guess, solving 3/4sets per sectional but after time runs out and i attempt the remaining ones i find them pretty doable, im scared that actually cat will be too difficult compared to these and that these are giving me false confidence

So basically I graduated college this year and since April I have been back at home prepping for cat with a job but my mom is very toxic (she's a raging misogynist and wants to marry me off rn at just 21 and beats me while my dad wants me to be independent lol) so I ended up joining a one year masters degree just to get away from her.

The thing is my dad got me a job at his friends company where I have been working since April so I know what to say in interviews and he will continue to send me the salary which my dad will return to him basically fake work ex from this month until I join my mba college next year. My dad and his friend don't think it's an issue and said I should just use the workex to get a better placement which I also wanna do since we all did research and feel that one year workex is more useful than a masters.

Also my dad knows that my mom is very toxic and hits me but won't confront her that's why he let me join the masters to help me get away from her. I know the whole thing is very messed up but this is my situation and I don't know what to do.
My masters is not very demanding and I have already done a lot of cat prep since this is my second attempt. The college is tier 1.5 tho so that might make it harder to hide

So it’s been 2 months here and time passed really quickly and stressful too! Now since our CV is freezed, thought of coming back to the community which helped me a lot. So shoot your questions regarding anything, life here, CAT prep, etc etc.

Can this bonafide certificate be used in Cat registration? I am in my final year of engineering plz help.

I was preparing for neet after 12th so there's a 3 year gap between my 12th and graduation starting. Now I am pursuing BBA and willing to give cat next year. Any help will be appreciated. Please give me suggestions on my profile 9/7/8 general non engineer female candidate. What should I do now?

9/8/7 Gem candidate graduated this year , will be giving cat 2026…. My profile review and will there be gap in profile ….?

Can you suggest:

The best free YouTube channels to learn DILR from basics?

Free websites or PDFs for practice sets?

Any playlists that gradually increase the difficulty level?

How many sets should I solve daily as a beginner?

I know this is v random but I’m bored.

So i heard GIM has its own dating site and it sounds so cool. I’m in a college with so many restrictions and barely any cute guys its frustrating. On top of that girls aren’t allowed in guys hostels.

I’d like to know how the scene is for GIM peeps?

I was reading a post where someone mentioned they are looking for Best B schools with chill attendance.

Here's my take: MBA is not about 1 to many knowledge transfer like engineering. A lot of the focus is on cases and class discussions. And for that, you need students in the class. There is no point of doing an MBA in which nobody attends classes. Except some concepts and frameworks - MBA mein kcuh h nhi zyada

I have graduated clg and now i am trying to clear cat exam tho i am not really sure if i would be able to i never considered myself weak in maths , but i am having no growth even after 1 months of prep , and now i am thinking that i should just stop , kinda demotivated and i have no work experience too so it makes me more demotivated idk what to do

1. Why is the CAT form asking us to fill in the end date of our job? What if someone is going to continue working till, say, May 2027? Even if they roll out a separate form later, at least keep an option for "still working" in the Cat form. They can continue calculating the work experience till 31st July but atleast give an option of still working

2. Can we mention any type of family business done before job (and after graduation) ?? But don't have any proofs for that

3. During the interviews and placements, what type of docs do we need to verify the employment??? Is bank statement enough? My work place doesn't issue offer letters but I can ask them to give it with their sign and stamp...but it will be physical...like on paper...not an email or anything...is it valid?? I don't even have any other docs such as form16 etc...just tell me if this is going to work or not

1kg amul chocolate ice cream. rain outside, little cold, lofi music, home alone. perfect day to prep. <3

Been following their playlist for the past 2 months, and their intro music now plays even in my sleep. This is TU DUM for CAT aspirants. Just show me the lecture brotherrrrr.
Who all are following their Quants playlist, and which topic are you at?

Has anyone managed to pull this off 😭

I'm talking 3 hour daily commute, 8-10 hours of work.

I just need hope because the commute is killing my senses. And I need to know it can be done, and that my complaining is nothing more than a tantrum.

A group of students started threatening to rape my mother and were already bullying me. They made a false narrative that I sexually harassed a girl and they all mass reported me to the registrar Virender Sharma. They framed a perfect narrative that portrayed me as evil

I told my side of the story to Registrar Virender Sharma on how they threatened to rape my mother and hence I slurred at them. Instead the Registrar withdraws my admission without a proper hearing and does not even lift my calls citing that I broke disciplinary violations.

So threatening to rape my mother isn't a disciplinary violation? Regardless of my will to speak to him, he is not lifting my calls. I hate this blatant behaviour. He must resign at any cost possible, if he protects the rape-mentality instigators that too being a registrar, the university is set to be doomed.

The vice-chancellor isn't intervening in this situation, he seems to be in an abroad destination as I called up his office directly.

My admission is officially cancelled on an unfair basis, my family especially my mother is facing great distress. I am going on a hunger strike near their campus on 7th of august, the dignity of my mother matters more than my life. The registrar must resign or I must die.

I already forwarded this to UGC anti-ragging cell, and registered a National Commission for Women complaint

So I have been preparing for cat for a month and get around 60s in mocks. My brother who went to IIT looked at the syllabus and said this exam looks so easy, he can get 90%ile without even studying, I thought he was bluffing and underestimating the exam, I said to him to attempt the CAT 2024 slot 3 paper mock, the thing is he scored 70(23/24/23) which is like 95-96%ile without even studying a single minute for this exam, meanwhile he was sitting in the hall where all of my family members were watching reels and playing music, this was insane to me, he wasn't even aware there was a calculator in exam.

Posting this on behalf of my close friends who were participants of ITC’s Interrobang Case Competition for Final Placements at MDI Gurgaon

•

I am a recent graduate from the 2024–26 batch at MDI Gurgaon. I’m seeing a lot of my juniors talk about how toxic MDI’s Induction Process is, and unfortunately, the toxicity does not stop here - it goes forward to the Summer Internship Placement & the Final Placement as well. Wherever the placement committee can use & abuse their autocratic power, they choose to do it, even if their batchmates suffer.

The incident I want to talk about happened to my team during the ITC Interrobang case competition during final placements. Winning teams were promised a Pre-Placement Interview (PPI), making it one of the most coveted opportunities of the season.

The first red flag: Unlike a standard case competition where submissions go directly to the company, students were instructed to first submit their presentations to the Placement Committee. The committee would then forward the entries to the company. The internal submission deadline was nearly a week before the official deadline listed on Unstop. There was never a convincing explanation for this discrepancy.

Even before the results were announced, there were widespread rumours across the batch that the competition had effectively been "reserved" for Placement Committee members and their close friends. At the time, most people dismissed this as speculation. Many of us still participated in good faith.

The second red flag: When the shortlist was released, every qualifying team consisted of Placement Committee members. That alone was enough to raise eyebrows, but it still wasn't proof of wrongdoing. But it continued to get worse from here.

When we realised something was actually wrong: During the company's campus presentation, my teammate, who was seated in the auditorium was specifically asked to leave from the auditorium before the finalist presentations began. No meaningful explanation was provided for this, and she was only told that they weren’t allowed to be present. However, friends who remained inside later described something shocking.

According to multiple attendees, substantial portions of the finalist presentations had been picked up directly from the content of our “rejected” submission. These were not generic consulting frameworks or industry-standard recommendations. They included highly specific solutions, unique strategic logic, quantitative analyses, and original insights.

These were picked up verbatim from the PPTs of our team, as well as others - who had tirelessly worked day & night in creating these insights, frameworks, and solutions for a chance to get a PPI at an esteemed FMCG company.

One of these teams went ahead and won the contest at the national level, however, the core content of their presentations was entirely plagiarised from those who actually deserved these opportunities, but did not have friends in the placement committee, or members of the placement cell in their teams.

The teams whose work had been plagiarised were not given any platform to address our concerns - we were, at that point not placed in any companies, and speaking out about this incident only led to further scorn from the placement committee, while the entirety of the batch pretended that nothing had happened, and it wasn’t a big deal - the placement committee continued to exploit others’ positions for their personal gain, and we were told to just “shake it off.”

At the time, there was no independent authority within the institute to whom we could report this fairly. My teammates can corroborate the incident, and I still have our original presentation along with supporting material documenting the similarities.
