Preparation

Frankly speaking, I didn’t study for long hours or put in loads of hard work. I just attended classes as regularly as possible and put in the maximum efforts in the classes itself. I was very regular with MOCK-CATs so that I was always in touch and it helped me practice.I referred to the material provided by my coaching classes.

Advice to juniors

Work on your weaknesses. Just sharpen your strengths. Coaching classes are somewhat necessary as they reduce your work; tell you what things have to be done and when; in short they spoon-feed you.  Unless you are very hard-working, you should join classes and just follow the procedures, and that should be fine.

Experience in MBA Institute

I would rate the permanent faculty eight on a scale of ten. The visiting faculty is fabulous, absolutely no problems.

The campus life is good; crowd is very friendly and enthusiastic. The hostel is lovely. The average age should be around 25. Seniors are very helpful and hardworking. It’s fun to work in various committees and clubs.
