I passed out 10th in 2010 with 72% marks. 12th with 72% marks. Took 1 year gap for IIT prep but couldn't clear it. Joined govt. college for Bachelor of Engineering in Indore for Civil engineering and cleared with 65% marks in 2018.
Then I gave GATE exam in 2018 and cleared with some 1900 rank and started preparing for UPSC CSE. Prepared for 5 years couldn't clear pre, then started preparing for SSC CGL for 2-3 years, everytime I was able to clear tier 1 but couldn't clear tier 2. Then I took the course and leaned SQL, excel etc and now I'm working in Paytm since 2-3 months.
I joined my 1st job on 5th January this year.
My girlfriend thinks that I can study for CAT and can give exam this year.
What do you all think with my profile that should I prepare?
Covering Kotak Mahindra Bank, Axis Bank, IDFC First Bank, HDFC and IBDIC.
​
so i passed 12th this year with 77% from a state board. 3 subjects pulled my percentage down, rest were fine. im planning to appear for CAT in 3-4 years and i was thinking of doing NIOS part admission for just those 3 subjects.
my questions:
does NIOS part admission work for state board students? like is a dual marksheet (state board + NIOS part admission) valid for IIM shortlisting purposes?
have any IIMs — especially the older ones like ABC or Mumbai — explicitly accepted or rejected this combo? couldn't find any official clarification anywhere
for CAT specifically, is improving 12th marks via NIOS actually worth the effort or is it better to just focus on CAT percentile + graduation CGPA?
would really appreciate if anyone who has been through this or knows someone who has could share their experience. thanks

Hello!
26 F, non-engineer here. Would anyone be interested in creating a study group? Giving CAT this year. Thought the study group might help with being regular and consistent, and help meet new people in the process.

Hey everyone, wanted to clarify something about FMS Delhi's admission scoring formula.
I've seen their criteria mention a threshold around 75% for Class 12 marks. Does anyone know — if your 12th percentage is above 75%, do you get the maximum marks allotted for that component? Or does it scale linearly all the way up regardless?
Asking because I have a 77% in 12th and trying to figure out how much it actually hurts my overall FMS score

I work in a small manufacturing company and have to work on Sat too and on top of it the location is in the outskirts of the city. How to prepare for CAT/MBA with only Sunday being off?
Please help
As you know my profile.beyond this no special activites that attract iim. (8 month internship exp+ 6 month full time as of nov'26)
so i'm planning to appeae for CAT'26. so i'm in a right direction or not. because every reddit post about iim has rejection for people who have better profile than me like non-GEM but still not get converted.
My interest is okay okay in coding and fear about the job market in future due to AI. And for business related interest i like some of things.
so my question is to shall i prepare for CAT . or enhance technical skill and switch role?
Appreciate your effort for reading this post
I am really new to the preparation so please tell me what more materials I need to prepare better apart from iquanta books and PYQs
