    May I crack cat and join blacki πŸ’―


    But muje sirf gap years ka darr hai Agar cat me 99+ aa bi gye to interview me reject na ho jau πŸ₯²πŸ₯²

    Inteerview se mat daro. Just think of it as a simple conversation between the panel and you
    They are not there to judge you or criticise you. They want to genuinely listen to your story and your background
    All my interviews were very chill and if you present yourself well, gap years would not matter

    Very fun, very chiil. Campus bohat sahi jagah hain. You learn a lot and at the same time bohat partiya bhi hoti hain. You are surrounded with people jinka IQ is high. So peer learning and personal development achhe se hoga. :) Hoping to see you on the other side soon.

    Easily aa sakti hain. I started around last week of May and still was able to make it. You can also do it. All the best!

    Ok bhaiya kya aap muje 99+ lane ki koi strategy bta skte hai ?

    Haa bilkul
    Focus on strengthening your basics in all three sections β€” especially Quant if it’s a weaker area.
    Make VARC your scoring section by reading daily and practicing RCs and verbal logic regularly. MAke a habit of reading newspaper editorials.
    DILR is all about practice and smart set selection, so work on puzzles and previous CAT sets. This helps a lot
    Start taking mocks by early July, and analyze each one deeply β€” learn where you're going wrong and how to improve your speed and accuracy.
    Stay consistent with 2–3 hours of focused prep daily. With the right strategy and mindset, a 99+ percentile is completely achievable
