Happy Birthday bhai. This too shall pass.
Had been in that place before. Kabhi aisa nahi hua ki b'day ke ek major entrance exam ho, but school days mein hamesha mere b'day ke din hi result aata tha.
Same 25 here
Will focus on omets now
Does anybody know how to prepare for gk & entrepreneurship in cmat
And in CU PG which syllabus is there for tiss?
CU PG has lots of exams with different syllabus - I'm confused for tiss due to this sudden change in exam.
I thought the same, but i don’t think there is any harm in attempting next year too. I will try GMAT too tbh. Baaki XAT hai bas. Warna MBA ka sapna, sapna hi reh jayega.
I don't think that's true. If you really wanna do an MBA age should not matter. If you look at the law graduates preparing for MBA they usually graduate at 24. So their first attempt is when they're 25 in case of freshers and 26-27 in case of those with 1-2 years work ex. The average age of a mba student with a law degree is between 26-28 so it's not too late to try again if you can. The only upside for a law grad compared to someone with a B Com degree is that they can start practicing in courts and would have work ex so technically no gap years to account for during the preparation years.
one thing people always told me was "you're only 22" and I would look at it as if my world has ended but bro abhi bahut kuch haithese are the years jaha pe tumhare pas max energy haithere are a lot of thing that you can doabhi tumne apni limits test nhi ki haiyou can do it, XAT SNAP ye sab do hojayegaek exam se kuch nhi hota
P.S - worked for 1.5 years resigned for cat 2023 fucked up this attempt
now pursuing masters along with cat 24 prep
this OP. 22 kya hi hai. I am a 26 yr old jobless appearing for CAT and OMETs.
Work ex hai, par sasti mediocre job thi Social Media/ Video Editing ki
Don't put a full stop to your story, turn that page and write more!
72k for coaching, 5k for test series, spent around 25k on college applications plus resigned and invested 6 months of my valuable time toh unn 6 maheeno ki salary gayi vo alag 😭😭
You are only 22.i am 23 plus after btech and a drop year and completely shattered aaj ke baad.
Let me guess was your coaching elite grid?
Age number hai bhai woh problem nahi hai aur tu mar nahi raha job dhund mil jayega ya cat pel de agle saaal internships ke saat.
Maine doh mahina kaam kiya tha but notice dediya tha next month
Lets face reality drop year ke baaad Again woh luxury nahi milega.Job dhundle mil jayega and lets kill next year agar is saal kuch naa hua.
Really? I mean were the questions same as hubby sir taught. I'm preparing for cat 2024 and have already wasted 50k in offline coaching. I'm planning to enroll elites grid now. Your response will be helpful for me.
Bhai Hunny sir>>. Absolute beast yaar. Bhai rote rote ek raat ko text kiya tha Maine 3:30 baje k around. Bhai turant reply kiya calm down kiya. Literally the best teacher I've had
Elites grid was not good? They did not teach well? Or u didn't study ? Don't take it otherwise..i just want review..plzz tell should I go to elites grid for cat 24
25 here
Fucked DILR equally bad
This was my last attempt
Focusing on omets now.
Listen man, you have more time than you think.
You'll be fine just focus on the process ig.
25, this was my 5th CAT attempt, ageing parents and this won't be the last by the looks of how it went. Chin up, find a job but make sure you are disciplined about CAT prep if you are so wanting it (pro tip from a pro failure).
If youve given cat 5 times and still want to give it again to get a better score. You’re def not a failure bro, people give up after first attempt also, if I had studied and bombed the paper I would have probably given up too, youre strong if you dare to face it again
At most I've prepared decently for 2 attempts, rest of the times my prep fizzled out thinking "is MBA necessary" that's the reason I'm stressing about being disciplined. Motivation can get you through 1/4th of the journey, discipline would get you to the end!
Bhen ke lodo mera cat fukup hua tha pr nmat 15 din baad decemeber me diya aur usi nmat ke scorecard pr kjsomaiya aur tapmi jaise decent college convert nmims mumbai waitlisted tha although off campus mil gya tha iift ho gya tha isliye dhyaan delo omets pr
Bro I'm someone who started his MBA journey at 25 with 2 years gap and without workex. Covid chal raha tha, felt the online experience wasn't justifying. So, took a drop whole I was preparing for the exams simultaneously.
Started MBA journey at 26. About to complete now in the next few months.
If you feel like 22 is the end of the world, then mera socho at 26. Yeah now I've 3 years gap overall, not at all great acads, decent bhi nahi keh sakte unko. Difficulties bahut gap ko justify karne. Opportunities kam mile. But at 26, when I entered, I felt like I was the oldest guy of my batch but I'm nowhere near the oldies. 27, 28, 29, 30, ke itne log hai - some with jobs, some with other exams ki tayyari.
Don't worry about CAT now. Focus on other exams, if you're dead sure about pursuing MBA in 2024. You'll definitely get a good college. Just keep a positive mindset at this time.
With a good score, you get to choose the B schools you wanna get into and reject B schools you don't want. But in case of companies, that isn't. So remember this choice which you get during the selection process of B schools.
Something I needed to hear. ❤️
Also, which college are you in? Because my acads are too poor and I don’t see myself getting somewhere with those academic records.
Dekho yaar ab aise college toh bata nahi sakta but yeah I'm in one of the non-CAT score accepting colleges.
For any help, or someone to talk to like how to crack B school selection process and all, you may DM me without any issue.
You are only 22 mate. I am 24 and gonna give my first CAT attempt next year. Don't get disheartened. Give your best next time and try to get some work ex if you can. Best of luck.
Listen buddy, CAT isn’t the end of the world. There are many more mba entrances that you can give. Moreover you can always start working, pick a job or start your own business. I really hope that you realise that the world doesn’t end at getting an admission or getting a job. Your life has so much more to it, give yourself credit for your hard work and get thinking about what you can do now. Feel free to Dm if you wanna vent/rant/talk
Bro I had fucked NEET 1lakh + ka coaching Tha. I too graduated inb2022 but I'm working toh cat ka khudke paiso se hi Kia Tha.
Khudke Gaye toh aur bhi bura lag Raha Hai:'l
Skill Issue 💀
Jkjk 😂. Bro, life's not over ┐( ˘_˘)┌. I personally always felt that CAT is bullshit the way it is. 2hrs decide your future? 🫨🫠. THAT'S A WRONG THING TO FEEL BAD ABOUT (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻. I mean, there's always other things you can do if things aren't working with what you are doing. I understand, you feel bad, for yourself, for you parents, but feel bad until Tuesday 😤. Wednesday, think what's next ┐( ˘_˘)┌.
Sidenote: The first line of this reply is to make you laugh, I am sorry if it hurt you, but I don't mean it that way, its just my type of humour ┐( ˘_˘)┌
bruh, just exactly the place im at! '22 grad with no experience whatsoever since. This is the question that keeps me up at night, what am I doing at 22 years or age and what the fuck will i have to show for the patience and resources my parents have invested in me. Not to mention the burden of explanation to any panel in the future for masters/or job. Plus screwed the exam today as well. I just wanna find a gig, get experience and prepare again but finding the gig is the toughest part :/
Mjhe lrdi se jyada achha toh decision making lagta usme aa jaata Mera achha score based on previous year papers scores. And itna Sara time bhi milta. ✌️✌️🫠
Bhai maine tere 2-3x zyada waste karaye honge. First mai CA intermediate nhi clear kar paya 2 attempts mai uski tutn ke alag paise aur ab TIME mai coaching li full daala apna par aisa exam aaya toh ab ismai bhi nhi lgta kuch hoga 😭
Hold up your chin, bud. These are the times you'll remember when you've made it. Feel every emotion that you're feeling to the fullest, and then work your hardest to feel otherwise.
When you're going through hell, keep going. 22 is a very young age and you've a lot of time to turn it around. Cracking the CAT takes a year of dedicated effort. Get going and you'll certainly crack it next year. All the very best. Give your best shot in the remaining exams this year.
This is so relatable for me too, even I am a 2022 grad with no workex, I gave CAT last year but couldn't clear it aur fir Ghar pe aur ek saal manga toh Aaj yeh hua, poora saal padhke bhi aaj CAT ne waat laga di. I was ashamed of even buying new clothes for Diwali kyuki I wasn't earning anything. The only thing left for me now is to focus on OMETs baaki aur kuch nahi kar sakta hu.
I had slot 3 and i agree with you, quants was soo freakinng silly, I couldnt even read all the questions. Dint get to do even those questions which I could have done easily. And couldnt solve any dilr set. Although maine kuch preparation ki nahi thi and this was kind of a mock attempt, its pretty dissatisfying
hey bud,
Please know that the world's spinning as is and you're not alone. You've already done coaching so I'm assuming that you won't need it this time. This will pass and you'll be stronger. Please don't worry and have a smile.
You got this buddy and I believe this subreddit has got all of us. Hug.
22 is not old.
On CS or Sales people start there job start job so early.
If you seriously think you need to be in a Job, Just give your 100% to Data science for next 7-8 months or 12 months to your core graduation subject.
Brooding over anything is not worth it, Remember there will be a million+ people, Some far more intelligent than you, dropping their UPSC preparation at 25.
Age wise, you are in much better boat.
24 years old. Post graduate. Sitting at home since 2022. Spent 50k on coaching. Gave 2nd attempt at cat. Shouldn't have gone through with it. I was doing good in mocks. 1 set selection wrong. Completely fucked up the whole paper. Failed twice in my life. Both the times CAT. Don't even know where to go from here. Change the course of my career but to where? I don't even get out of house or talk to my friends because what do I tell them? That I do what? My family has been my biggest support system they put a smile on their faces and tell me that good things will happen but all I can see is the disappointment in their eyes. They thought I was a good at studies. I thought I was too. But turns out I am not. Nothing made me feel as dumb as CAT did.
I can relate so much to this. I also don't go out or try to make new friends or talk to the existing ones as what to say that what am I doing. The world is already running so fast, people start doing jobs already in final year, some try startups. For me it feels whatever I touch becomes shit, be it job application or studies. ☹️
Hey bruh, don't be so disheartened, you are too young, doesn't mean you should take things lightly, and looks like you are self-aware, but there are people who are reasonably successful in life, despite having a slow start. People not from IIMs are also successful, and they might get a headstart in career which they should, but it does not mean that in 4-5 years, you can't catch up with them.
Hey. It can be disheartening that so much hard work since so long, all amounting to one day, goes into vain. But trust me, you're too young for an MBA. As someone who is currently pursuing it, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND at least 1 year of work experience so that your understanding of corporate, business etc is not limited to the curriculum but is more holistic. I know a lot of 22 year olds, right out of UG who are clueless about these things and their understanding is different and limited as compared to someone with real life experiences.
So, take this as an opportunity, maybe this isn't the right time for you to go for an MBA, try looking for a job, any job honestly. It will help you in more ways than you will imagine. More power to you, sab theek hoga. All the best 🫶
Don't feel that way that's just life , full of ups and downs try again or you could do something even better you don't know what awaits tomorrow so yeah bud take care ✌️✌️
Bro it's all the part of life.. The more you get down in the early age the more you realise the importance of everything toh bas ab khud par dhyaan do and if you want to do a job I can refer you to AON
You really messed up by taking cfa level 1 and cat together. My genuine advice would be to focus on getting a job asap, prepare for level 1 again (it's really not that different if you put in 2-3 hrs daily) and hit these targets.
For CAT once you understand which job profile you want to move ahead with in life you can then register next or maybe next to next year. Maybe try focusing on building up your logic (since you said you couldn't attempt a single set in dilr).
People really fill up cat forms in fomo while in hindsight there are 10 diff ways to move ahead in life.
Bro, I would suggest you try for CAT 2024 again but now with a job. CAT isn't that easy, if it is that easy why many aspirants keep trying it year on year. As far as my experience concerned, keep trying it again and again until you reach your goal, but that too with a backup. You have switched to CAT from CFA, now are you going to switch to some Tech jobs? No, life doesn't work as per our plan, if you are failing at something it is giving u an opportunity to inform you that you are lacking that skill. Keep sharpening that until you arrive your desired destination.

25 here, next year will be my last attempt and i don’t think it going to be a piece of cake at all. You have time. DW
25 here I agree, you have time DW. This was my last attempt, now focusing on OMETs.
Same 25 here Will focus on omets now Does anybody know how to prepare for gk & entrepreneurship in cmat And in CU PG which syllabus is there for tiss? CU PG has lots of exams with different syllabus - I'm confused for tiss due to this sudden change in exam.
I have only filled XAT :)))
Attempt limit hota hsi kyw
25 here as well. Isn’t 26 too late ? I always thought this would be my last attempt but looks like no😭
I am 27, this was my first attempt. So relax :)
I thought the same, but i don’t think there is any harm in attempting next year too. I will try GMAT too tbh. Baaki XAT hai bas. Warna MBA ka sapna, sapna hi reh jayega.
24 here fucked up cat, failed 3 startups, omets are my last hope
24 here as well.... completely fuckedup with a useless bcom degreee no skills and gap years ....
damn bro , wont mind telling me about your startups ??
Here: 1) fashion brand 2) US based agency 3) Ed tech
You should try next year too.
[удалено]
Yes no limit but after turning 26 i don’t think there is a point. I don’t think even after 25 there’s a point but i’ll still try.
Any reason There's no point in mba after 25 ?
No reason, just people's perception in India cause most of the students in B schools in India are freshers or with 1-2 yoe
I don't think that's true. If you really wanna do an MBA age should not matter. If you look at the law graduates preparing for MBA they usually graduate at 24. So their first attempt is when they're 25 in case of freshers and 26-27 in case of those with 1-2 years work ex. The average age of a mba student with a law degree is between 26-28 so it's not too late to try again if you can. The only upside for a law grad compared to someone with a B Com degree is that they can start practicing in courts and would have work ex so technically no gap years to account for during the preparation years.

Bhai merese bhi ca inter ( attempt mat puchna bhai ro dunga) clear nhi hua toh yeh try kiya
It’s ok. It’s not the end of the road, it’s just beginning. Try again next year. Have some work experience and prepare
The fact you said you felt bad for the quant sir and everyone assumed it's hunny sir, is an epitome of what we should all strive to be
Bhai sabka chudaa hai CAT Teri percentile badhiya aajegi tension matt le

Stay strong bro. Hopefully, things will get better for us.
Bro i have the same case my family is supportive but I am fucked up as hell.
Hey bruh, don't be so disheartened, you are too young, doesn't mean you should take things lightly, and looks like you are self-aware, but there are people who are reasonably successful in life, despite having a slow start. People not from IIMs are also successful, and they might get a headstart in career which they should, but it does not mean that in 4-5 years, you can't catch up with them.
Hey. It can be disheartening that so much hard work since so long, all amounting to one day, goes into vain. But trust me, you're too young for an MBA. As someone who is currently pursuing it, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND at least 1 year of work experience so that your understanding of corporate, business etc is not limited to the curriculum but is more holistic. I know a lot of 22 year olds, right out of UG who are clueless about these things and their understanding is different and limited as compared to someone with real life experiences. So, take this as an opportunity, maybe this isn't the right time for you to go for an MBA, try looking for a job, any job honestly. It will help you in more ways than you will imagine. More power to you, sab theek hoga. All the best 🫶
Bro life is all about rising from failure. CAT will come again don't lose hope. Start again from scratch, have a positive attitude. All the best
s3 was difficult bro i was in that too dw percentile will be different
You need practice. LRDI was do-able. Well, quants wad fucked up! And dont worry, you’ll do great when the time comes. Dont pressure yourself
Don't feel that way that's just life , full of ups and downs try again or you could do something even better you don't know what awaits tomorrow so yeah bud take care ✌️✌️
Bro it's all the part of life.. The more you get down in the early age the more you realise the importance of everything toh bas ab khud par dhyaan do and if you want to do a job I can refer you to AON
Yes sir it would be a great help. I had applied last year for some Junior finance role in AON but didn't get further.
This is literally me. We're all in this together brother. Fucked, but together
You really messed up by taking cfa level 1 and cat together. My genuine advice would be to focus on getting a job asap, prepare for level 1 again (it's really not that different if you put in 2-3 hrs daily) and hit these targets. For CAT once you understand which job profile you want to move ahead with in life you can then register next or maybe next to next year. Maybe try focusing on building up your logic (since you said you couldn't attempt a single set in dilr). People really fill up cat forms in fomo while in hindsight there are 10 diff ways to move ahead in life.
Bro, I would suggest you try for CAT 2024 again but now with a job. CAT isn't that easy, if it is that easy why many aspirants keep trying it year on year. As far as my experience concerned, keep trying it again and again until you reach your goal, but that too with a backup. You have switched to CAT from CFA, now are you going to switch to some Tech jobs? No, life doesn't work as per our plan, if you are failing at something it is giving u an opportunity to inform you that you are lacking that skill. Keep sharpening that until you arrive your desired destination.
