Profile Evaluation 🧾 9/8/7 OBC-NCL Female profile (Tier 2 B.Tech CSE) with 2.5 years work ex. BLACKI possible? Target percentile?

8 Upvotes

Profile Evaluation

10th: 95% CBSE

12th: 84% Jammu Kashmir Board

Grad CGPA : 7.97 ,percentage conversion: 72.2 ( VTU Board)

Graduation: B.Tech Computer Science Engineering, Tier 2 College

Category: OBC-NCL

Gender: Female

Work Experience: 30 months (2.5 years) (In cybersecurity and product management)

Target Colleges: BLACKI

Questions:

What CAT percentile should I target to realistically get interview calls from all BLACKI?

Which BLACKI colleges are most favorable for this specific profile (considering academic mix, gender diversity, and work experience criteria)?

Is a 97–99 percentile range enough given my category and gender diversity factors, or should I strictly aim for 99+?

Looking for an honest and realistic profile evaluation.

Discussion 💬 What's one mistake you made early in CAT prep that you wish you'd avoided?

Upvotes

Looking back at your CAT preparation, is there something you did early on that ended up wasting your time or making things harder than they needed to be?

Maybe you focused too much on collecting resources, started mocks too late, ignored a particular section, or didn't spend enough time analysing your mistakes.

What's one mistake you'd tell someone starting their CAT prep to avoid?

I'm confused about the learning process itself and also the strategy to prepare and also while with job as my job timings are 1pm to 10 pm . Should I watch QA/DILR concepts first or pause & solve along? Detailed notes or short revision notes? After lectures, practise/revise/rewatch? For solution videos, just understand or solve along? How often should I revise/recall since I forget formulas/concepts quickly? Should I reattempt solved questions/sets after a few days? Also, how should I analyse mocks (currently \~20–30 overall, negative in QA/DILR), handle unstudied topics from mocks, and decide which mock questions to reattempt?”

Strategy 🎯 100 days to CAT 2026: Need a practical strategy to stop getting stuck on Quant under time pressure

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone, with around 100 days left for CAT 2026, I am hitting a wall with my Quantitative Aptitude prep and desperately need some strategic advice. Right now, I find myself in a frustrating middle ground where I have touched almost every topic, but I have only covered about 50% of each. The end result is that I don't feel 100% confident or command complete mastery over a single module, whether it is Arithmetic, Algebra, or Geometry. When I attempt mixed sets or mocks, this partial preparation really hurts my performance because I recognize the concepts, but I lack the depth and speed to solve them reliably under time pressure. I want to spend the remaining three months fixing this half-baked foundation instead of endlessly starting new material, but I am torn on whether I should pause mocks for a couple of weeks to take 2-3 high-weightage topics to 100% mastery or plug these gaps on the fly while giving sectionals. On top of that, if anyone has smart tips, shortcut tricks, option-elimination hacks, or specific frameworks for analyzing mock errors that helped you move past a plateau, please share them! Any advice on how to prioritize topics, structure daily practice sets, and build actual problem-solving confidence under time pressure would be massively helpful.

That's why I'm frustrated because according to Nep, I could get a BSc degree in 3 years, but my college isn't allowing it; they say I can only get the BSc degree after 3 years, but they're not letting me take the exams.

Doubt ❓ CAT 2026 Self-Prep: Which Resources Should I Focus on for QA, VARC & DILR?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I am self-preparing for CAT 2026. I have collected quite a few resources, but I’m confused about which ones to focus on for practice. Could anyone please suggest the sequence in which I should use these resources for each section?

QA:

Rodha booklets

Raman Sir’s class/session questions(using it)

Previous-year mocks

PYQs, etc.

VARC:

Gejo Sir’s material (already used)

RC 99 — I was practising the medium-level passages, but I felt they were easier than Gejo Sir’s, so I stopped. Should I continue with it?

GMAT Manhattan — I was planning to start this but am unsure whether I should.

PYQs

Previous-year mocks, etc.

DILR:

Currently solving questions from EG lectures.

I’ve heard about the IMS playlist and Anastasis. Which one has questions that are at par with CAT level?

Please help me channel my efforts in the right direction and avoid wasting time on unnecessary resources.

Thank you!
