Bruh, school/college ke exams ki tarah last-minute ratna band karo! Best CAT coaching approach should be more like:
β
Nadal ka clay court game (tennis pratice like the rallies must go on, and on, and on, … till you win), and definitely not like
β Exam hall ka ratta (1 night ki bhukamp ki taiyari)
Unfortunately, the latter is a habit we have developed since childhood, and bad habits are tougher to get rid off than even bad company!!
BTW, did you notice that the emoji in the subject doesn’t match the game Nadal plays – but it worked, right? That’s HOW CAT works – just ensure what you do works for what you want to achieve, even if it doesn’t seem logical.
Knowledge vs Skill: The CAT Reality Check
1οΈβ£ School/College Exams:“3 din pehle padho, 70% lao, phir sab bhool jao!” π΄
2οΈβ£ CAT Prep:“2-3 ghante roz, 6-8 mahine tak = 99%ile” π
“Agar tum Quant ko bicycle chalane ki tarah nahi sikhoge, toh exam day pe giroge zaroor!” And again, it will happen only when you actually get on and do it, not just watch videos of CAT coaching experts showing off their skills!
Why Most Coaching Institutes Fail You
They focus on:
β½ Marketing Pumps (That’s why same faces appear in ads of multiple institutes)
π Content Dumps (“1000 PDFs = 0 skills”)
Real CAT Coaching Should:
π§ Build skills DAILY (Like cricket nets or tennis drills)
π Track micro-improvements (“Aaj 15 mins mein 2 questions extra solve kiya!”)
π§ Make learning STICK (Like riding a bicycle)
MBAGuru’s ‘Skill Builder’ Formula
- ADAPTIVE Drills: Weak areas? “Basics ke basics se shuru, IIM level tak!”
- ADAPTIVE Progress Tracker: “Kyunki sab ke curves alag hote hain na π”
- No ‘Ratta’ Culture: “Concept samjho, life mein kaam aayega!”
But achchi aadten toh koi bhi copy kar sakta hai. So, NIKE!
Long story short:
- “CAT mein topper banna hai? Just ensure consistent, persistent commitment” πͺ
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. 1000s of our students swear that he can motivate almost anyone to double his/her percentile through very simple yet powerful inputs. And thatβs why 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 β¦ almost missed this β¦ he is an alumnus of IIT Delhi & IIM Cal
