To build a strong profile for CAT focus on academics, participate in extracurricular activities, gain work experience, and develop your communication skills. Regarding your CAT preparation, the ideal time to start preparing for CAT depends on your strengths and weaknesses, as well as your schedule. Typically, students start preparing for CAT around 6-9 months before the exam date. However, if you feel that you need more time to prepare, you can start earlier. It is important to have a consistent study schedule and practice regularly to improve your skills.

Yes, since the syllabus of the Xavier Aptitude Test and the Common Admission Test are similar, one can prepare for both exams from the same study material. The students will have to study separately only for the Decision Making section of the Xavier Aptitude Test as this section is not a part of the Common Admission Test syllabus. For more details, you may visit the Shiksha Xavier Aptitude Test syllabus page. (https://www.shiksha.com/mba/xat-exam-syllabus). I hope this will help you.

Eligibility:Graduates (currently employed) with minimum 10 years of work experience as on Mar 30, 2023 and minimum 50% in Graduation/ Post Graduation. Apply by April 10, 2023 and receive a financial year-end benefit of 10%. It will be auto-applied while submitting your application. It seems quite difficult in the beginning and that's because being a B.Com graduation we are not much into Maths and stats. That is something which troubles at the start but with time and practice you will be able to do that. Its is good career option if you really want to do that, go for it.
