Listen up, future IIM rockstar! So, you know what’s wild? When they think about how to prepare for CAT, 99% of CAT aspirants:
- Hunt for the “magic material” (Spoiler: It doesn’t exist)
- Blame “past marks, luck, coaching” (Meanwhile, toppers are grinding like “newspaper waala at 5 AM”)
- Forget that Kohli’s cover drive (or Rohit’s pull!) = 1,000 hrs of SAME boring practice
But here’s the gareebi ka gyaan:
1. The “WHAT” is Basic (Sabke Paas Hai!)
- Broadly the same practice material
- Similar se mocks
- Same “tough DILR ka ek bhi set nahi bana!” meltdowns
- And yada, yada … (hi dharamsya wala nahi re, the etc etc one)
So, what’s the REAL game-changer?
✅ HOW you study > WHAT you study
✅ Repeat like TikTok trends (“Ek din 3 hours, har din 3 hours!”)
✅ Boring = Powerful (Ask Djokovic!)
2. The “Riyaaz” Mindset (Embrace the Grind)
- Quant: Solve 30 sums daily like “momos khane ka count”
- VARC: Read 2-3 online articles daily like “Instagram stalk karte ho waise”
- DILR: Practice puzzles like “GTA missions” (Fail-retry-repeat!)
To summarize: “Beete roz se 1% better … Bas itna sa farak laana hai, har roz!”
3. The “Boring-but-Fun” Hack at MBAGuru
📈 Regularity in homework means the curve goes only to the up and right corner! So, L1, L2 or Basics – invest time where you really need it.
🎮 Think of it like a game. So, just aim to up your level of performance by 1; W → T → O → S one topic at a time!
🤳 Finally, be the Eklavyas to your Dronacharyas – you wouldn’t get such a mind-blowing pool of magnificent, motivating mentors anywhere!
Final Truth Bomb 💣
“99%ile = 100 hrs of ‘oh yeh wala chapter phir se?’”
But hey – “Youtube pe passive baithe toh ‘Aspirant’ banoge, khud grind karoge toh ‘Topper’!”
TL;DR:
- The ultimate hack: Start loving repetition. Just keep getting better every day.
- Weak areas? Hammer them daily like batters hammer bowlers in T-20s. Be ruthless!
- Fun fact: Deekshant began writing songs during his CAT Prep. “Tayyari mein rhythm toh chahiye na?” 🎤 Ye alag baat ki he can’t sing to save his life!
