Engineering Preparation

Choosing the right coaching institute is really important. Consider following factors while making a decision-
1. Look up at the records of the coaching institutes for past few years. See if the numbers are steady or fluctuating too much. If numbers are fluctuating too much it means that the coaching institute is not able to meet the requirements of everyone.
2. Very important - Talk to the students in the coaching personally and get their reviews about it.
See how the coaching treats everyone. A good coaching should give attention to every student. It is the case in many institutes that toppers are given special attention while average students are neglected.
There is no problem in giving special attention to toppers but in this process other students shouldn't been harmed.
3. Location also is a very important factor. See if you will be able to stay in a hostel for two years and study properly or would prefer coaching in your own city.
4. Research - Do it properly before taking admission in any coaching institute.

Dear Akash,
This is the real test for MBA, how did you manage your time? See, time management is essential for cracking CAT. According to me, what you can do is every day give your 2 hours for CAT preparation. Once you get the free time from your engineering lectures, don't start new topic for CAT but revise what you studied earlier because, in this panic situation, it is very likely that you forget either CAT concepts or your B.Tech concepts and both are necessary for top B-School. Remember, scoring 99%ile in CAT may not get you a prestigious MBA college, but you have to equally focus on your B.Tech score card as it has a lot of weightage. Although, you can spend some time with your friends who are also planning to take CAT to share some valuable notes from coaching institute.
This helps you a lot.
Hope this helps.
Good wishes.
