DID YOU KNOW??

There are two key Historical significances for 25th December in Indian History

1. Good Governance Day was established in 2014 to honor the birthday of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. In fact, today marks 100th Birthday for Vajpayee ji

2. Sikhs mark 25th December as a dark Day because around this time the younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh ji - Zorwar Singh and Fateh Singh - were tortured by Mughals, buried alive in the wall and their throat slit.

Tips for a Strong Resume:

1. Keep it concise (1 page)
2. Use a clean, professional font and maintain consistency in formatting
3. Utilize bullet points for easy readability
4. Quantify achievements where possible (use numbers and percentages)

Remember, your resume should be a snapshot of your professional journey, emphasizing your strengths and suitability for the position you're seeking.

I am attaching a format for CV. Use it in case you find it useful. One of the bachchas among you had shared their word file with me. I don't remember who it was but thanks.

Adjust the content based on your unique experiences and the job requirements.

I did not get my desired percentile in CAT. Should I appear again next year?

You do not have to blindly appear for the exam over and over again. Read the following carefully...

You have multiple options to pursue
1. For the students in a three year program, you can choose to opt for the 4th year.
2. For graduated students, you can also opt for an Internship or a Job
3. For working professionals, please DO NO LEAVE YOUR JOB for CAT for nothing is certain. Read https://t.me/CATformFAQ/135

Appearing again for CAT is beneficial only if you utilize the time to put in sufficient efforts. If you don't change your preparation approach, then there is no point in appearing again.

Taking a Drop only for Preparation NEVER makes any sense to me!!! Utilize your time. Read https://t.me/CATformFAQ/108

Furthermore, If you have appeared twice already and not getting desired scores by a long margin - I would STRONGLY suggest for you to re - assess you approach!

Tell me something about yourself

One of the most important questions in an interview "Tell me something about yourself" is a story line in which you should include all the areas where you want the questions to come from.

You , obviously, have to include to academic background.

They could be your passion. Could be your interest area. Could be your hobbies.

Could be your extra curricular achievements. Could be your co curricular achievements.

Could be your family business and the way you have involved yourself in it. Could be an interesting internship that you had.

The central idea is to plan to speak for 30 to 35 sec. Plan for an additional 10 seconds in case they don't stop you.

This question could become tricky as you have to speak long enough to give them some areas of questioning and you have to speak short enough so that they don't get bored and cut you short.

Once you write this answer in your notebook, it will take around 3 or 4 revisions to get it completely correct.

Having guided hundreds of aspirants over the years, I know many will ignore this till the last moment. But, if you are sincere with your efforts, please don't do so.

QA Preparation Strategy for CAT 2025

At the very beginning, go through all the three slot papers for CAT 2024 provided at https://t.me/QuantSenseiMain/1197

First round: Within 2-3 days of learning anything new. Begin your day with revision of whatever you did the last day. Just go through the previous day's notes.
Time Involved: 1 to 2 hours

Second Round: To be done approximately 7 - 10 days after finishing a topic. Revise the chapter notes. Pay special emphasis to the areas which caused you trouble.
Time Involved: 4 - 5 hours

Third Round: About a month after completing a topic. Revise your notes. Refer to any standard coaching material and practice 20 to 25 questions and try solving them. Add anything new learnt to your notes.
Time Involved: 4 - 5 hours

The only thing that is going to be of use to you is to actually do the practice work. Don't look at solutions to serve as a shortcut to you. Don't just watch YouTube videos.
