With just over a month to go for CAT 2020, time is of the essence. It’s time that Priyanka Chaudhary, who bested CAT in 2018 focused on, in lead up to the test. “I used to set a timer to solve questions. always tried solving questions in the shortest possible way,” says the student of IMI B, Class of 2021. She is full of beans and handy tips as she reveals how she prepared for CAT while she pursued her B.Com. program.

Having been in CAT candidates’ shoes not long ago, Priyanka understands the dilemmas. Is it worth appearing for the test to get into a B School at this time? Will the competition be tougher this year? “Being stressed about things you can’t control isn’t going to help; it will only hamper your performance. Even if your paper is difficult don’t panic; it would be difficult for everyone else too,” she offers comforting advice.

Priyanka admits that focusing on CAT prep while pursuing her B.Com wasn’t easy. But putting aside a couple of hours every day did the trick for her. Ask her about her tricks for the exam day and she rattles off her list:

  1. Attempt all questions you are sure of first, and then move on to the rest.

  2. Most of them are MCQs; try the backwards approach of cancelling options, which cannot be the answers.

  3. Set a timer to solve questions; it will help your brain work under time pressure.

If you needed any further evidence of Priyanka’s smart practical approach to situations, it is reflected in her decision of picking the B School. “IMI B has a solid brand name and it’s ranked amongst top 3 colleges in Odisha by NIRF. It attracts a fantastic ROI. But above all, a family friend’s son is an alumnus and his insights helped me make the decision,” she adds. Her decision is paying off as she is thriving in the student-driven environment ready for a glorious future.

DEEDS NOT IN YEARS - Aritra Bose Life is measured by moments and achievements; Man’s worth is not measured in his longevity. Time flies, it waits for none. Every moment in this life is different from the previous one. Man was the creator of civilizations . From the beginning of time it is established that “a man may die but his story remains; stories about his victories are talked about even after thousands of years, and the world remembers his name.” We may die young but our deeds(good or bad) remain, with it our name remain. Age is no criterion for meaning of life. It is the actions which make us immortal. Jimi Hendrix was an American guitarist,songwriter,producer. Hendrix is a legend in the history of music. Hendrix created brilliant music with lyrics and is loved and listened to by music enthusiasts even after 48 years of his death.We all have aims in life but the fulfilment of those depends on our deeds.He had inspired many people to learn and play the guitar.H
