IBSAT

Hi,
IBSAT and CMAT both exams are for management admission. Through these exams, one can get admission in good management institutes.CMAT is tougher than IBSAT.
IBSAT exam includes Reading Comprehension, Verbal Ability, Quantitative Aptitude and Data Interpretation. CMAT includes Quantitative Techniques, Data Interpretation, Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, etc.
So both the exams have similar content but only differ in difficulty level. Institutes like IBS Business School, ICFAI University, etc. also give admission through IBSAT and institutes like JBIMS-Mumbai, Goa Institute of Management-Goa, K. J. Somaiya Institute of Management, etc. also give admission through CMAT. So if we prepare for CMAT then it will be easy to score best in IBSAT.

If you are preparing for CAT exam then you don't need to prepare separately for IBSAT exam. The reason behind this is the topics which are asked in CAT exam are the same topics that are asked in IBSAT exam. So, both exams are almost same but the thing differs is difficulty level. CAT is tougher as compared to IBSAT. So, try to prepare for CAT exam because this can help you score good marks in IBSAT.
IBSAT exam includes Reading Comprehension, Verbal Ability (VA), Quantitative Aptitude (QA) and Data Interpretation (DA). Whereas, CAT exam includes Verbal Ability (VA), Reading Comprehension (RC), Data Interpretation (DI), Logical Reasoning (LR) and Quantitative Aptitude (QA).
So, both the exams are having similar content. Preparing for CAT exam can cover the IBSAT exam syllabus too and this can help a candidate in every aspect.

When you go for IBS, you should know about your strengths and weakness. And if you identify strengths then one can be confident and start solving the test from questions based on your strong concepts. While weak areas can be practiced and focus should be on minimizing errors. In last minutes, aspirants should prepare a list of the formulas, concepts and tricks so that one can have quick access to all the important areas. Aspirants should take mocks first after that they realize mismanagement of time. Silly errors which do not get highlighted otherwise. Aspirants should not ignore past year sample papers. They are a great source to practice section-wise questions. I had taken the IBSAT, my personal experience was that if you want a top MBA college, you have to score more to maximise your chances. The best way to get a high score is to put in the time, go through each and every concept before the exam. There is one formula to succeed in IBSAT is practics, practics and practics. Take healthy meal during your exam time and take a proper sleep.
