Stop wasting your Time/Money on CAT
It's out of trend. It's a rat race not worth running.
Choose this Route instead.

Avg acceptance of IIMs is 2.4%.
So 5-6k get a seat in IIM out of 2,30,000 lakh students that appear for the exam.
Avg fee of IIMs is 22.5 Lakh for leading MBA or PGDM programs.
If we include living costs the Total Cost of Attendance becomes 31.37 Lakh on avg.
Avg salary of IIM grad is 35LPA which is for the selected 5-6k students what about others?
If you attended CAT that means you had some expected source of funds for your Studies already either in cash or using edu loan.
Point is, instead of wasting your time preparing for rate race exam of CAT why not use that money to go study abroad in UK, Finland etc in the same budget and earn avg salaries of 60-80 LPA as fresher?
The difference is in perspective, some like to waste time, run in herd and race unnecessarily.
While some take the smart route and reach their destination fast without hurdles.
Point is there are easy routes to earn more or same if you have the funds already with you,
instead of taking the old paths, why not walk on a new path, a road not taken which is more rewarding and easy in life?
Some of you might argue there are colleges as FMS Delhi which offer 34LPA placement and have very low fee, so why not go for it?
Only 1% students out of 2.3Lakh students get a 99 percentile which is needed by these colleges to even let you place your foot in the door. What about the rest 99% of students who were below the cutoff? Think about that,
Not everything is black and white I know,
some of you might have dream to get into IIM or any other Top B school in India.
Good luck and go for it if it's your dream. But if it's something you heard from somebody else, that IIM degree pays you well and you start running for it, please don't do it's called rat race. If you have the budget find other options that won't waste your time and will give you the same if not more ROI at bare minimum
with less competition.
Going away from herd like competition is a smart move for everybody. Settling on a rant that you want to do CAT because your cousin did or you uncle said is an idiotic move, unless you are passionate about it yourself.
Live the world through your own eyes, stop doing what others are running towards,
research yourself, make your own unique way.
