Why WAT after CAT ?

Till a year before CAT aspirants were subjected to Group discussion to understand their soft skills on communication, body language, and over all personality. But over a period of time test prep institutes have conditioned most aspirants with their training in such a way that most of aspirants look alike and it became  difficult for selection panel to judge candidates and on the other hand GD was getting subjective for judgment. 

New IIMs also thought of giving opportunity to candidates who are coming from smaller towns to excel as sometimes they may not have that confidence in speaking because of less exposure as compared to candidates hailing from metros.

From last year IIMs thought of taking only WAT to judge actual communication power. 

Those who will get shortlisted after CAT 2012 will have to go for Written Ability Test.

Engineers are more in numbers for taking CAT 2012

It has been reported in the media that more than 68% Engineers are the CAT 2012 aspirants. That means from other streams like arts, humanities, commerce and science students are not coming forward to go for MBA Education. 

It looks that MBA in general has got beating in the market and engineers in any case are professional with their basic degree of engineering and when they opt for MBA education it is perceived that they would be professionally qualified for niche industry. 

Historically CAT has been skewed for engineers as they do well in DI / QA section but many a times they land in tight situation for LR / VA.

For the last couple of years IIMs have been discussing to make some changes in forthcoming CAT to change the pattern a bit so that aspirants from other streams can also be motivated to take the exam and this may happen from CAT 2013 onwards.

I wish to join IIM only

Day dreaming is not a crime today.  It is only when you dream high you meet obstacles which need to be crossed.  Like many aspirants I too wish to join IIM only.

Having gathered information that thirteen IIMs will be opening admissions in coming October 2012, I feel enthusiastic to take CAT exam which is prerequisite for admission to IIM. 

IIMs are the most prestigious Management Institutes in India and are imparting education on Management theory and its practices.  Contextual teaching with great infrastructure, accessibility to learning resource centers all time during the year, case studies, aura of professionalism and top of all guest lecturers from top honchos of the Industry makes IIMs enviable Institutes.

With admission in any of IIMs, it is ensured and expected that  discipline, Management Jurisprudence, presentation and communication skills, Interpersonal skills, management of time,  management of stress, management of failures and confidence level to take decisions at crucial junctures must have been learnt and all must have become DNA of  a future manager. 

With a goal to accomplish my dream I have started preparation for CAT 2012.
