Munira Ma'm,
Thank you so much for the wonderful article . It feels really good to have you as a part of our Gadha fam ily
We have been taught the second method of aprxmtn at our coaching centre. But the first one is so simple esp so because most of the times w
need only an approximate answer.
The explanation given for the question is so lucid. I actually took near to 8 mts to find the answer of that particualr question during CAT. But
with your method it takes less than a minute. Thankyou for sharing the tips to crack CAT DI.
TG is an excellent site fo r CAT quant and verbal preparation. With your arrrival, we can tam e DI a s well. Expecting more articles from you
Regards,
Gowri

From mid Feb y ou have more than enough time for y our CAT prep; just ensure that you put in 3 hours ev eryday. Yo ur
bac kgro und (a rts/sc ienc e/ commer ce ) doe s not play a ro le in y our c at pr ep . It is y our apt itud e, a ttit ude and se lf disc ipline that is
more important.

Take Care,
Munira.

That approximation is a very very approximate number that you can see without any calculation. So here you can see that
557 /900 is close to 600 / 900 so 2/3.

Why do u waste a seat for CAT aspirants every year!!! Had u not marked ur answers, 1 aspirant could have gotten a GD PI call. I know it doesn
sound a big deal, but this cud have been an opportunity of a lifetime for that one person.
Please think about it!!!! It is a request

come no w dignified.....this is not cool.

I have seen Munira's result this time and she had no IIM calls. Perhaps the ovals for college selection in the CAF were left blank.
So please refrain from making such comments unless u are aware of the facts.

Hi Munira,
Why have not directly calculated the percentage of Europeans from 2010 and 2003 ? I mean to say, question doesn't specifically say that we
need to go into the details of Men a nd Wom en, It has just asked about the %.

557/857..
we can simply approximate by raising 20% in denominator as well as in numerator..
20%of 857=857/5=170
20% of 557=557/5=110
(557+110)/(857+170)=667/1020====66%(approx..)

Dear Munira mam,

I could no t find way to contact you, therefore, ask ing the q uery this way.
Hope you dont mind.
I found the following article on orkut stating that quiet less weighttage is given to CAT in the selection process for IIM-A. If this is the case, am
wasting m y time in trying with my tooth n na il to ma ke it into II M-A?
CAT not the way to IIM-A
IIM-A is the dream destination of every MBA aspirant in India BUT its really disheartening to say that even cracking the toughest entrance
exam-CAT cannot assure you a call for even GD/PI.
According to this,final weightage given to CAT s core is only 27.27%.rest 72.72% has already bee n decided by ur 10th and 12th scores(talking
abt general category).
In sim ple words sup pose Mr. A cracked CAT 08 with 100%ile overall and 9 9+%ile in all 3 s ections,has a work-ex o f 10 yrs. in finance, with 90%
in graduation,89% in 10th and 79 % in 12th..THEN he wud no t hav got a call this yr. EVEN AT THIS PR OFILE !!!
using the formula given by IIM-A
C.S score wud b 16 which is less than cut-off C.S. score...
So much weightage has been given to PAST academic performance that more than 2 lakh of the people who filled forms could hav never
qualified for CAT even if they topped it!
