Sir, I've done Arun sharma book for a few chapters. Can you recommend me another book for quants?(time, Career launcher, supergrad, IMS, supergrad, studybuzz) only for quants.
I have a dream to get IIMA, but I worry they won't select me because of my low academic scores and being a general engineer male. My past scores were 63% in 10th and 7.5 in the diploma program. I'm currently in my first semester of engineering and plan to give CAT2026 exam at the end of this semester. However, I feel even if I do well in my degree program and CAT2026, I might not get a call from IIMA. Than i think out side of the box and make plan I know that according to UGC guidelines, I can pursue two degrees simultaneously from different universities. So, I will continue with my engineering degree and also take up another course, maybe something like BA in economics or psychology at open University, to add diversity to my profile. I'll aim to complete both graduation degrees at the same time and then appear for CAT2027 exam. I hope this path will increase my chances of getting selected at IIMA. So it is the right way to get selection from IIMA ?

Academic diversity refers to the candidate coming from a non engineering background (even better if the candidate has a non conventional ug degree for instance - english hons, bjmc, architecture etc) Also there is no preference in 3 years or 4 years UG courses (except for the PGDM in International Business course of MDI, for which you need to have a 4 year ug degree to be eligible)
What about those who appeared for 12th board in 2021 and they were given marks without even giving the exams, should IIMs consider 12th board marks for these students?
@@ananta.chhajer that's unfair, isn't it? Like ik i shouldn't complain but almost every 2021 student got above 90 in their 12th boards. This puts all the other at a disadvantaged position since the overall shortlisting and call depends on the final composite score.

Your profile is unfortunately mediocre and you won't get a lot of the Acad diversity points either. In my opinion you should get some work ex for atleast an year and then go for CAT.
there are a shit ton of variables which determine if you have a chance or not (not just past acads). That 5 in 12th is going to hurt you but still if you score really well in cat there still is a chance indeed
