Hone waale IIM ke superstar! If your plan revolves around using Social Media for your CAT Prep online, then, let’s face the harsh truth. Because chances are you spend more time scrolling “CAT tricks” reels than actually studying for CAT!
So, you’ve got quite a spread between:
- YouTube’s “1 trick to solve all DILR!” (Spoiler: I’ve multiple 100%iles in CAT DILR so trust me bro, it doesn’t exist!)
- WhatsApp’s “Forwarded 100 times” PDF graveyards, jahaan se koi actionable idea vaapas nahi lauta
- Telegram’s 24/7 “Dekho yeh naya bot with last year ka full course!” chaos
To summarize, free content for CAT Prep online = Samosa buffet 🥟. Because while it is tempting but “pet kharab ho jaata hai!”
Why ‘More Content’ ≠ ‘More Marks’
- Overload Alert:
- “5,00 free videos dekhe, par %ile 50 hi hai!”
- Coaching material copies? “Photocopy shop waale bhi IIM jaane lage toh batana!”
- No. of Free Telegram Groups >>> No. of 99%ilers in CAT
- The Real Issue:
- Finding gold in garbage → 90% is “timepass”, 10% matters. How do you find that? 🔎
- What’s your ornament → even within that 10%, what do YOU really need?
- Order matters! “Pehle Quant ki NCERT karo ya YouTube ke ‘shortcuts’? 🤔”
- Time Vampires:
- “2 ghante YouTube pe ‘best strategy’ dhundha, 5 mins mein lecture skip kardia!” 😂
- “Sat down for studying 2 hours ago, but I am yet to get started” – the Insta/Youtube algo ensures that!
MBAGuru’s Anti-Chaos Formula
We know the pain and the addiction. Hence, we’ve cut the clutter like “mummy ka WhatsApp group that’s only with & for you 😂”:
✔ Telegram groups with PURPOSE (No “good morning CAT aspirants” spam!) – clear defined purpose.
✔ ADAPTIVE content timeline – Attend your ADAPTIVE Module Sessions + Attend all sessions of your batch + ensure weekly completion of homework (Bina soche, bas yahi … baar baar, lagaataar!)
✔ ZERO FOMO – No Facebook/Insta “follow karo, fir bhool jao” drama. Youtube videos or blog links, everything will reach you on your Telegram groups/channels only.
But the 4th Challenge?
And I know that some of you are still stuck at: “it’s still overwhelming” challenge. Therefore, coming soon – How to fix this “dimaag ka tank overflowing ka rog”!
TL;DR:
- Free CAT content = “Golgappe ka thela” (Zyada khaoge, toh **** ho jayega!)
- MBAGuru’s ADAPTIVE Prep = “Nutritionist prescribed Thali for you” (Balanced, timely, no junk)
- “Agar ab bhi 10 alag-alag platforms pe 32 gurus ke chakkar mein bhatak rahe ho, toh hum kya hi bolein, baalike!” 🙏
P.S. “Telegram pe ‘free CAT content’ dhundhne mein masroof rahne waalon, 99%ile waale yahan se kab ke nikal chuke hain!” 🚀
About the author: Deekshant has sleep-walked through several 100 and 99.9 %iles in practically every section of the CAT. That he is a cricket fan and he writes okay is evident from most of his posts. Because 1000s of our students swear that he can motivate almost anyone to double his/her percentile through very simple yet powerful inputs. So every MBAGuru student has direct access to him via mail and Telegram. Oddly, he somehow also finds the time to write songs professionally. And yes … almost missed this … he is an alumnus of IIT Delhi & IIM Cal
