How long duration classes he will need to take up? Can u formulate a time table for him to study for CAT? He says he will need to study 18 hrs before appearing for cat. Thanks
gejos> your son is hardworking and intelligent. If he is capable of commitment till the CAT, he can study on his own. He can then take advantage of the national percentile tests and GD / PI sessions. gks> I have a good score in cat but i am very poor in communication so I am afraid do attend GD gejos> as a management aspirant, you must speak! Don’t worry about anything. Just participate and very soon you will find your confidence levels soaring. Practice with friends and listen to and watch people who speak well. prateek> hi I want to ask that I get 70 percent in 10 and 12 and 55 percent in graduation...can i still make to a good institute of MBA..

For improving proficiency in English, start reading what you like and then move to news items. Listening to English talk shows and news capsules will also help. deepa> sir I have scored 78.84 percentile in CAT .In which colleges do u think I can apply gejos> you can apply to colleges that do not ask for a specific CAT percentile but only a valid CAT score and which give profile based calls. mysha> I didn’t get good score in CAT. Now I don’t know what to do tell me I m very upset gejos> don't be upset. Life is beautiful! If you are a fresher, garner work experience.

Post a couple of year’s job experience; I feel a need take up another course to further my career prospects.
