Beautifully explained!
Thank you so much Maam...
You are most welcome! All the best for your prep! :)
This was a crisp summary and strategy video. The video was perfectly brief and thorough.
Thank you Ma'am
Thank you so much!! ❤️ That's all the motivation I need :))
Plz ma'am make a video on , how we can improve Rc's section .
Hi, will soon share a video focusing on the VARC section! Stay focussed on your goal :)
Ma'am the video was very insightful. I had a few queries in mind . In my first attempt I scored 90.89 percentile . Is there any way to connect with you?
Hey, thank you and sorry for replying so late! If you are consistently practicing and making efforts in the right direction - your scores will definitely improve.
You can go ahead and ask your doubts here - it might also help someone else with similar doubts :)
Hello Prachi ma'am, it was really very insightful and useful video! I look forward to upcoming videos.
I was wondering, with 87.3% in ICSE, 84.3% in CBSE (commerce background) and 67% in Graduation (B.A. L.L.B. from NLU, Lucknow) is it possible to get calls from Top 6 IIMs.
I was planning on developing some work experience of around 12 months and then appear for '25 CAT, does it make sense? Will the work ex be useful or should I aim for CAT '24 itself without work ex and will it get me good calls if I get decent enough CAT percentile?
Hi Vinayak, thank you so much! That's the motivation I needed! ❤️
Regarding your question, absolutely! You have decent grades in 10th and 12th, so as long as you get a good percentile in CAT, you can get calls from the top IIMs. Maybe not IIMB due to their focus on undergrad grades, but definitely others. Your work experience will also add points to your composite score.
I recommend starting your job and simultaneously preparing for CAT 2024. If you can manage both, that would be ideal. Even if you don't get the desired percentile, you'll know where you stand and how much effort you need for CAT 2025. Gain some work experience, but if it's not too hectic, keep preparing for CAT on the weekends. And don't forget to fill out the form for CAT 2024. All the very best! 😊
@@mbawithprachi thank you so much for your detailed reply ma'am! Means alot!
I'll definitely follow your recommendation!
Happy to help! 😊 I'm here in case you have any more questions or need guidance at any point. Just drop a note on my latest video and I'll surely reply back! :))
74-81-75 in 10th -12th-grade and an engineer also having 3 years work experience
Hi, your work-ex will get you some additional points in the admission criteria! But try to prepare well and ace CAT to offset your previous grades! If you get a good percentile, you will surely receive calls from top IIMs. So study hard and stay tuned for more tips & tricks that will help you in achieving your goals. All the very best! :)
•10th - 80% (best of 5 as that year mah board rule ) 75% aggregate
•12th - 54% science (PCMB)
•Graduation - (7.5 cgpa)(Bcom)
• 2 year gap if appeared for CAT 24
• NCL-OBC student
(Note: family income more than 8lakh +) (father work as government grade 3 officer)
•Fresher ( No work experience)
Will I get any good MBA college? Or IIMs call
Hey, our 12th grades are a bit low, so to compensate for that, you will have to score exceptionally well in your CAT exam! Also, getting a call from IIMA/B might not be possible, but there are colleges that focus less on 10th/12th marks. So, you shouldn't lose hope and give your 100% while preparing for CAT 2024. All the very best! :)
Hii prachi dii... My academics are as follows - 10th=83%(all 6 subjects) 12th=73.5% (all 6 subjects) Took 2 years drop for NEET... Now i want to clear CAT What bachelors degree should i pursue and if i scored well in cat can i get callls from IIM A or IIM C
Hey, definitely. If you get a good score in CAT - you will receives calls from IIMA and C. As for Bachelors degree, anything but engineering gets diversity advantage. So you can choose according to your interest, no need to worry about it too much! :)
Do videos on free mocks resources .
Hey, noted!! Will try to collate the resources for free mocks and make a video on it. Till then, you can start completing the syllabus and checking things off. Stay tuned as I will share a video on free resources your can use for preparation - so do turn on your notifications! All the very best :))
Mam im very weak in maths so i go for CAT or.not please reply im very confused im doing bcom and im in 2nd year please reply
Hi, you have ample of time to prepare and with practice - you can improve your Quant scores. So don't worry too much about it. You can also attempt previous years' CAT papers to see the level of quant and then evaluate!
@@mbawithprachi thanks for reply
Happy to help! :))
Got 97% in 10th ICSE , 89.8% in 12th CBSE , After 2nd year Btech GPA 9.4 .( I got distracted in 12th and messed up JEE still dejected by that kind of)
But my college is worse don't know if it's even Tier 3 as per the definition of others in
But I am getting 75+ marks in GATE all India Made easy mocks so pretty confident about that getting under 500 rank.( No I don't want to go into an IIT bcz I want to do MBA in Finance and maybe CFA after 5 yrs or so to get into Asset Management)
Have started my CAT prep from March going pretty good.
But I don't have any extracurricular listed ever and my communication skills suck , so I am afriad If I will get rejected for that.
Hey, you have a good profile. As per the selection criteria, your college name doesn't matter. Also, you can work on a few skills, take courses or volunteer at an NGO to improve your CV. So stay motivated and put your efforts in the right direction! You can always improve your skills :)
@@mbawithprachi Thanks Didi for the suggestion regarding NGO will do that.
Always happy to help :)
Hello mam my profile 75/75/63
I am scoring near by 99%ile in mocks and pyq. How can i make BLACKI or other top college
Hi, different colleges have different cut-offs so you might not receive calls from a few of them because of your profile but you can try to cover up for your grades by maximizing your CAT score. Specially for IIM Calcutta, grades are not that important so you have a good shot. Be consistent and keep practicing for the exam! :)
Maam my acads are not good they are 55+ and currently I'm in 3rd year will be giving CAT 24 can i get a good college😭?
Hi, different colleges have different criteria. You might not be eligible for some of the colleges, however, if you have good UG grades or try to improve it as much as possible and ace CAT - you will be able to get calls from some of the good colleges. It's all about averaging out the previous grades.
Mam how to cover this gap year i completed my graduation 2023 and 1st attempt i not get much percentile now for 2024 cat what should i do for gap
Hey, gap shouldn't be a problem as such. But they do ask you during interviews about this gap - so try to be productive. You can work on improving your skills or take some online courses. Be productive, that's what the panel wants. It shouldn't come across that you wasted a whole year.
@@mbawithprachi mam can i justify my gap year with my family retailing business of clothing by saying that i worked there for learning sales skills?
Absolutely, but make sure that you know the business inside out because the interviewers will grill you on this and they will know if you are lying!
Can you free provide free lecture I m giving cat 2 nd time and can't able to buy any coaching now , and soon going to do job or if you have any telegram or instgram channel kindly provide to get connected for your guidance 🙂
Hey, sorry for replying so late! You can go ahead and ask your doubts here - it might also help someone else with similar doubts :)
I will soon share a video on how you can manage your time well and prepare while doing a job, so stay tuned! :)
Please talk about your in-depth prep. This is for someone with average intelligence. Especially how you prepared, daily, weekly, monthly. Revision strategies etc.
Hey Anirudh, I have shared a few tips and tricks for VARC and DILR. Check that our! I will gradually cover all these topics as well in detail - so stay tuned and prepare well! All the best! :)
@@mbawithprachi thank you. I have been preparing for the past 4 months, I have managed to complete arithmetic, algebra, and I solve 2-3 sets per day, and RC sets, but I’ve noticed that I still take some time to solve some of the tougher arithmetic concepts like time and work, TSD although I have solved decent amount of questions from these topics and my concepts are 85-90% clear. What should I do from this point? Also, the tougher sets in DI LR take me more than 20 minutes to solve. Sometimes even an hour.
That's great to hear! You have come a long way. Now you can start practicing the difficult set of questions. Initially don't worry about the time taken to solve a question - rather focus on how you ended up solving a question v/s how did they solve it in the solutions. Compare the solutions and keep a note of whichever solution is shorter. And keep revising these notes. Eventually, in a month or so - you will realise that you have become comfortable in solving the difficult set of questions as well. Especially in DILR, never leave a question. Irrespective of the time taken, you need to solve it to develop that reasoning level. You will the results in a month or so! All the very best :))
92% in ssc, 84% in hsc and 7.9 cgpa in grad... Is my profile good enough to get into top IIMs
Bhai it's totally fine even the people who have 6 cgpa are sitting inside IIM just rock in cat and gdpi you will definitely get one seat on iim
Hi Sakshi, you do have good grades to get calls from the top IIMs. You might not get a call from IIM Bangalore, but that's okay! There are other IIMs which you can aim for! Just focus on preparing for CAT and keep practicing! :)
Mic proper use kero NXT time thanks
Thank you, noted! Ordering it soon :)
10th- 95%
12th- 92% pcb( both Rajasthan board)
Grad- 71% ( BA)
After 12th gap of 2 yrs and after graduation gap of 2 yrs.... I'm going to attempt cat 2024...will I get any good IIM calls
Hey, you have good grades and your gap year won't affect your calls. You just have to build your story and be clear during the interviews. So given if you prepare well and get a good percentile, you will receive calls from the top IIMs :)) Stay focussed and prepare well. All the very best ☺️
@@mbawithprachi thanx for ur reply, wanted to ask one more thing...I have given SBI JA exam recently and chances are that I will get selected ( results will be out in June)...will it be beneficial in getting IIM calls if I start working?
Might not be helpful in getting the calls, but will surely help you during interviews and your placements later on. Also, the work-ex you gain will always be of help. So, I would recommend that your go for it! Just manage your time well and don't slack off. That will do more harm than good.
@@mbawithprachi thank you for ur guidance ❤️

Mam I am a sc category student got 74 percentile in cat 2023 r i have converted all baby iims in my first attempt should i go for IIM vizag(best of baby iims)
Or should i give another attempt?
10th - 98 12th-92
Engineering-72 & 3 years work experience & sc category
Hey, you have good academic grades, so you could give it another shot, but first, think about two things:
Did you give your 100% during CAT 2023 (prep + exam)?
Do you have any financial obligations or other responsibilities?
When you answer these two questions, you'll know if you should repeat CAT or not. Remember, getting into your dream college is a big thing, but being practical about your situation is also important. So whatever you decide, stay focused and give it your best shot. You've got this! 😊
@@mbawithprachi thank u so much mam for your valuable words 🙏❤️
Brother from where you did your coaching I have similar profile like yours cat sc work ex 14 months but didn't get the desired percentile so is there any way to connect with you
Mam .. I'm SC.. how much marks required for me in cat exam..87% in ssc , 91 % in mec , 90% in BBA ...can I get call from IIM A ,IIM B , IIM C mam
Hi, a 90-92%ile will help you receive calls from ABC. However, I would suggest that at least aim for 95%ile to balance out all the other criteria and be on the safe side! All the best :)
@@mbawithprachi tq mam
@@mbawithprachi how much percentile required for IIM vizag mam .. for me
Hey, I'm not sure of the exact number but I believe 80-82%ile will help you get calls from baby IIMs. However, try to give your best and maximize your CAT score rather than limiting yourself. You can do it!! :))
TH-cam pe hi free classes bta do cat ke
Hey, sure thing. Stay tuned and turn on your notifications because I will soon be sharing a few free resources that you can use for your CAT preparation. 😊
Hlo maam cat k syllabus bta dijiye pls
Hey, there is no set syllabus for CAT but I will soon post section-wise videos with syllabus! So stay tuned :)
@@mbawithprachi øk shukriya ma'am
@@Muskan._.865 Google pe search karle
Aur TIME ka online coaching lele top class , then agar 1st attempt pe na ho to uske baad self study sufficient.
She chose Self Study but remember she was already from an IIT so understanding and intellect difference is still there.
Just a suggestion
88.8-82.4-7.5 in 10th -12th -grad. in maths..... Can I get into Tier1 B-school
Hi, definitely! Different colleges have different cut-offs so you might not receive calls from a few of them, for e.g., IIM Bangalore but you can receive calls from other IIMs. So stay motivated and prepare well for your CAT! :)
@@mbawithprachi tq, ☺️ mem .....for the info.
You're welcome :)
6-4-6 my academic score can I get best college if get best score in cat
Hey, since you don't have any cutoff for 12th marks to appear for CAT - you would be eligible. But different colleges have different criteria - so you will have to get a near perfect score in CAT to receive calls from top IIMs. :))
Thank you for this video! I will be joining IIM C in June. It would be really helpful if you could share you experience, particularly on managing the first year.
Any insights on:
1. Acads - tackling difficult subjects, average day schedule, prep for stats/maths for commerce bg students.
2. Hostels & how to navigate logistics for the same? Food, Delivery mechanics! This will be my first time living in a hostel.
3. Placements - the entire timeline, resources provided and the ones we need to sought for! ( I have an interest in consulting)
4. Extracurriculars - Recommedations, hiring process.
I know you must be busy, but some insight on these points would be a lifesaver!
Hi, heartiest congratulations on converting IIMC! I will soon be sharing insights related to life at IIMC, so stay tuned! :)
@@mbawithprachi Thank you! I can't wait to know more! :)
P.S. The seniors have also been sharing videos of Monty & all kinds of snakes. Any pragmatic take on the same would help my deathly phobia of reptiles!
Haha, once you enter Joka - you will badly wish to see Monty atleast once :P and you'll soon know the reason why! But don't worry, I survived in a hostel full of cats and dogs, so you will also do just fine xP Snakes are not that common in hostel or academic area.
