Preparation:

This was my second attempt at CAT. It was easier for me as I was teaching in an MBA preparation class. So i didnt have to dedicate much time for preparation. I used the materials that were given to me by the classes. I also followed a strategy while preparing that i would solve a few number of problems but which ever I did, I would dissect it completely so that I could solve any problem of that sort. This helped me clear my basics.

Advice to juniors:

Make your own road. No one knows which strategy is more comfortable than you know.

Experience in MBA Institute:

I chose this institute as my mentors had advised to zero down on it. I spoke to many people and they advised me to go for Indore. The experience here for me has been just amazing. The facilities and faculties here are up to the mark.
