Should you even try to ‘Bell’ the CAT?

There are multiple questions — beyond exam prep and syllabus — that one must cogitate over, before deciding to appear for one of the country’s toughest competitive exams

Every year, over two lakh aspirants apply for the CAT, as a majority of the MBA, Postgraduate and Fellow Programmes at the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) accept applications primarily or solely through the CAT. This year, the exam is scheduled to be held on November 28, and will be conducted in three shifts from over 150 test centres across the country.

There is much information available on the Internet about the CAT, but a majority miss out on raising the most important questions, let alone providing answers to them — those that we must ask ourselves before appearing for the exam or even preparing for it.
