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.

CAT will continue to be unpredictable



It is well said that all that which is predictable can’t be termed as exam. The same is much true for CAT as this exam is supposed to be most tough for MBA aspirants and sets parameter for all other exams. 

Since aspirants take exam on different dates and at different shifts with different sets of exam hence, CAT becomes  much more unpredictable. 

Nature of exam is as such that you are tested on abilities on your analytical skills in sections of DI/ QA rather on your knowledge. 

Likewise you are tested for your comprehending power and speed in LR/ VA 

Off course in absence of any prescribed syllabus CAT will continue to be as tough and will never be predictable.

For succeeding in CAT you need to be regular in practice with perseverance.

CAT will haunt those who are ill prepared



CAT will continue haunt those who have taken exam because of herd mentality. CAT exam has basic requirement of clearing fundamentals first 

Indeed those who have not prepared for CAT for a minimum six months and have not practiced with Mock Test are likely to find themselves in shell and wont’ be able to take on test. 

Laborious CAT aspirants had been preparing for the last many months and by the time dates were announced they were ready for revisions. 

Sections of CAT are tedious if not practiced. If DI /QA test you for analytical skills then LR/VA tests you on your absorbing and comprehending skills.

However the candidates who are clear on fundamentals are likely to achieve success and others will continue to be haunted by CAT.
