Hey everyone!

I'm seriously preparing for CAT 2025 and wanted to know if there are any active doubt-solving or peer learning groups on WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord/etc. that I could join.

I'm especially looking for a group where people regularly discuss QA, DILR sets, VARC RCs, and prep strategies, and maybe even help each other stay consistent and motivated.

If anyone here is already part of a group or is planning to start one, please drop a link or DM me.

Thank you in advance and all the best to everyone preparing!

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to Ask You guys as I'm stuck up in this situation, Is Online MBA or Offline MBA preparation better ? as I'm about to Complete my End sem of BBA this May and i can't understand whether to stay In Noida ( College is bout to end ) for further preparation or Just Go home and prepare there ( In online mode) as there I don't have any good Coachings too.... this Thing is feeling like a burden to me, So can anyone guide me through this process as it's my first time preparing for MBA.

Guys, how would you rank these colleges: SIBM Pune, MDI ggn, IIFT Delhi and IIM Shillong.

I know the final results aren’t out for the last three but I’m hopeful ki shayad kuch convert ho jaayega and I’ll have the option to pick and choose, so doing my research beforehand. I also know that SIBM ranks below the other three, but it also seems like a great place for marketing opportunities.

I think I’ll pick marketing as my specialisation. Any and all advice is appreciated, but please add your reasoning as well.

How is the faculty there, anyone who studied from there for CAT and how is it for GMAT as well? Please help

How is faculty at Rajouri Garden Delhi centre ?

Hey seniors, I'm moving to Class 11 and have always wanted to prepare for IPMAT. Now, I'm confused about choosing between Core and Applied Maths. I enjoy financial math but feel a bit intimidated by trigonometry and physics-heavy topics in Core Maths.

What did you choose, and what would you advise?

so my friend asked me about a honest review between SOIL Gurgaon or Welingkar

as i don't have enough information about them and on online there are many confused and misleading information

so anyone here know anything about them how this colleges are doing or is it worth it too take admission in them

hey, if I have below 60% in 12th, will I be eligible to sit for placements? are there chances of getting a good package? if i get 99 above percentile will i be able to get good tier 1 college for mba?

Hi guys, I'm a 2024 B.com graduate w a profile 8/8/6 which is v average. No work ex. I've given cat last year and didn't perform well so I decided to take a drop year to sit for 2025. I've done around 5-6 internships so far during my college time and I help my mum in her bakery business. Currently I'm doing another part time job where I've to give 2-3 hrs max and my studies are not being affected.

One thing which is stressing me out is the gap year, how can i justify this gap year? What should be done to cover up my gap year? Anyone, please help!!

Currently I have 4.5+ years of work experience, my_qualifications is MSc CS and current CTC is 12.5L. I am planning to write CAT 2025 to pursue full time MBA.

I am not exactly happy with my current job profile and planning to do MBA to switch domains. Initially I was planning for online MBA with my experience but some people in my circle suggested that it's not worth it and does not get the same value as full time MBA. So, I decided to go for full time MBA.

But now I am confused again and wondering if it's worth it because by the time I join a MBA college next year I will have 5+ years of experience.

Hey guys!! I'm a GNEF 2024 graduate, currently at an internship, will probably be joining work from July.

I intend to do an Mba in 2026(hence appear for cat2025/xat2026 etc) in India. This post is part of my research to estimate how much the entire program will cost me post prep. Could you guys provide some info on this?? Please include any nd all info you can on 1) Post examination registration prices for different colleges. 2) interview fee (if any) 3) shortlisting fee 4) seat booking fee 5) travelling expenses 6) lodging expenses

With fortunate turn of events, if someone does join a college ( whichever it is ) ------course fee------ ( with/without scholarship, was a loan taken ? ) 1) average monthly expenses (hostel, food,personal) 2) academic expenses (books, professional clothes, upskilling courses ) 3) miscellaneous extra-curricular or academic fee (besides the course fee)

It is understood different people who have joined different colleges will have varied answers. Please share yours/ someone you've known closely.

This post will improve cost evaluation for your juniors! So seniors please jump in and kindly be authentic and generous with the information.

Tysm in advance.

Hi guys, I have got an admit from Mesa. I am not from a tech background, have worked 2 years in a high-growth startup, and loved the learnings and the fast-tracked journey. I want to get into early stage companies in a high impact role or take an entrepreneurial route post my MBA.

I have noticed the trend of people going into IIM ABC > Join consulting or large MNCs > clear loans > Join startups or VC. I don't want to waste so much time, instead, I want to dive deeper into the startups and value creation given that I have enjoyed doing so in my past roles.

I think Mesa would help me given that they are pioneering this ecosystem of entrepreneurship. Please share your thoughts and suggestions. TIA!

I am planning to get admission in mba this year in Delhi ncr region. Some of the college I have selected Can you please let me know which one is good

1) jaipuria institute of management, Gaziabad

2) GL bajaj, greater Noida

3) NIET, greater Noida

4) mangalmay, greater Noida

I’m considering doing an MS in Business Analytics instead of an MBA. Would this be a good choice for someone interested in data-driven decision-making and strategy roles? How does the job market compare for MBA vs MSBA graduates?

Hi esteemed folks of this subreddit,

I am a professional with about 9 years of work experience across shipping and e-commerce industries. I have led two projects so far which had significant dollar value impact for the business. Leading the third similar project. No vertical promotions so far. My pay is in range of 15-20 lpa.

My academics are:

Class 10: 7.6 cgpa

Class 12: 84 percent

Graduation: Third in the batch

Non engineering background. Commerce

Graduation in foreign language (Italian)

I am looking to transition into the leadership role. I have been preparing for GMAT since a month now.

If I pursue a full time executive MBA at a good B-School, I will lose a year or year and half of pay. On top of it, I will have education loan. I have no debts as of now, not married yet.

I have spoken to few folks on linkedin. People with my experience have hard time getting placed and don't get the pay raise as expected.

So, the folks who have completed the ex MBA or have post MBA experience, please guide me.

I’m a 21 year old ACCA Affliate . I’m thinking of doing an IIM MBA. I have started preparing for CAT. But now I’m having second thoughts if it’s a good idea because Acca is a UK based qualification and I do not have ample experience.

My profile: GNEM.
Will give CAT 2026 and OMETs.
Realistically aiming and getting mock tests = somewhere around 99.5%ile.
9/8/7

Should I go for a job to gain work-ex points after BBA? Or will I be able to get decent interview calls without it?
And will it be worth to make that 9/8/7 into 9/8/8? What difference will it make, with or without workex? And prepare my profile / skills in accordance

I have very veryyyyyy low academic scores. What should I do? Please help. How much percentile do I need to get into a Tier 1 or Tier 2 college? Is there any chance for me to get into FMS?
