Guys just 1 month left and now I don't feel like studying at all, the brain fog during varc feels like I am just reading but nothing's going in my head. I don't feel like solving anything

What should I do

Is it happening just with me?

Did anyone attempted TIME DILR Sectionals, because they feel little easy compared to their full length mock DILR. I am able to score around or more than 20 in sectionals and in full length mock, I was able to score a peak of just 12 marks in one mock, and an average of 8-10 score in full length Dilr.

So is the problem in me or sectionals are easy.

How did y'all feel SIMCAT 17 was? I am gonna write and post my score today ( not feeling the most confident but will do my best)

Was it moderate ,easy or difficult to score?

Hi guys, I am kind of feeling a little paranoid looking at the marks I am scoring in Simcats, I can attempt only 1 question and 2 at best, I just want to hit the 5 questions right threshold, what do i do?

I have completed arithmetic, geometry and some of algebra, but I couldn’t revise yet(i feel this is the biggest shortcoming in my prep, my inability to revise in time and prioritise other things), could someone pls help what can I do looking at the time we have.

if anybody want to exchange the 3-5 simcats mocks with cl mocks massage me

anybody wants to share some mocks for cl 2026 mocks

I can go through 3RCs and all VA questions in the time, but my accuracy is not good at all. Its about 50%. I wont say i rush reading through RCs or any VA questions. I give enough time. But i am lost, i dont understand what i am doing wrong. I have tried a lot of methods and tricks to solve VARC questions but nothing is working. My accuracy is not improving even a big. What do i do??

anybody want to shere simcats with cl mocks

My friend completed B.Com. (Hons.) from SRCC in 2026. He passed Class 12 in 2021 and studied at another DU college from 2021 to 2023. Then, pata nahi kya chull hui usko, he appeared for CUET again, secured a double-digit AIR, and got into SRCC, effectively restarting his undergraduate journey.

(For context, ladki ka chakkar tha bhai, baat ego tak aa gayi thi 💀😂.)

He is now preparing for CAT and wants to pursue an MBA, with the long-term goal of becoming a management consultant.

Will this academic timeline raise concerns during IIM interviews? Do consulting firms like MBB or the Big Four have filters against candidates with a two-year gap?

Also, should he mention pursuing a diploma at DU from 2021 to 2023, if applicable? Since a diploma can typically be completed in two years, would mentioning it help explain those years or raise further questions?

Could this affect his MBA admissions or consulting placements? How should he explain his academic journey during interviews?

Idk. The sets are too long and way too complex. Is it skipabble?

About until 2 weeks back, i was progressing well. My mock scores was going up. But since 2 weeks now, something has happeneds, and my mock scores are going downhill. I cant even solve simple questions that i used to so within a minute or two. I dont know what to do. I feel like crying. I cant figure out where i am going wrong, what i am doing wrong.

Hi everyone,

What are my chances of getting a pure profile-based call from SPJIMR?

Profile:

• GEM, 9/8/8
• Computer Engineering from a decent Mumbai college
• Started working at JPMorgan (IB Middle Office) this year
• Published an IEEE conference research paper (not sure if this adds any value)

Would appreciate honest opinions, especially from people who have received profile-based calls in previous years.

Thanks!

60/77/64 GNEM, BA(Econ) currently in 3rd year no work ex, CFA L1 cleared, considering to give CAT/SNAP/NMAT next year seriosuly.

Will also be giving L2 in Aug 27'

Which colleges should I target if I even have a chance also does my title make my options wider ?

Need genuine advice and know that im asking if I should consider as I dont have a realistic idea of how bad my profile is for CAT and etc..

Only a month left. I haven't started prep. Gave some initial

DashCat mocks of Crack you and am scoring 45ish (total) in the first 5 mocks.

Do I have a chance to get above 90 percentile on D-day?

I was almost about to give up my cat prep because i was scoring horrendously low in most mocks lately 18-17 total and today after not being able to give mocks for weeks due to anxiety i sat and gave a mock and scored my best.
I still have a lot of syllabus to complete since I only started recently but I’m actually so grateful
PS- ik it’s not that high for everyone - I’m just aiming for 90-95 so it’s on point for me.

I try to maximise my set count to 8 sets a day .. but some sets i encounter are too complex .. looking into solution and trying solving it again alone takes an hour or more .. is investing this much time 30 days prior to cat exam good ? Should more amount of moderate - easy sets be done or less amount of moderate- hard sets will be beneficial..🙂

Hi everyone,

I don't really know how to express what I am feeling, but I genuinely need some advice. I have been keeping these feelings to myself for a long time, and I thought sharing them here might help.

I came to NMIMS SBM Mumbai to pursue my MBA with a lot of hopes and dreams. I knew that moving to Mumbai and studying at a reputed B-school would be challenging, but I never expected this cultural shift to affect me so much emotionally.

I come from a relatively small town in Maharashtra, and so many things that seem completely normal to my batchmates are completely new to me.

Sometimes, even simple things make me feel out of place. My friends casually discuss different types of food available in the canteen, like pasta, toast, and other dishes that I am not very familiar with. They talk about web series, sitcoms, fictional characters, popular references, fashion trends, and so many other things that I struggle to relate to.

Everyone seems to understand the references, laugh at the jokes, and continue the conversation naturally, while I often sit there feeling like I am missing something. I want to participate, but sometimes I don't even understand what they are talking about.

Another major struggle for me is communication in English.

I want to talk to my batchmates, express my opinions, participate in conversations, and build friendships, but I am not able to speak English as fluently as I would like. Sometimes, I know what I want to say in my mind, but when I try to express it in English, I struggle to find the right words or form sentences quickly.

I start overthinking my grammar, pronunciation, and whether people will judge the way I speak. Because of this, I sometimes remain quiet even when I want to contribute to a conversation. Later, I regret not speaking up.

In an MBA, communication and networking are so important, and seeing other people speak confidently makes me even more conscious of myself. I want to improve my English, but constantly feeling nervous around my own batchmates makes it difficult.

The worst part is that all these things together have started making me feel inferior to people around me.

I look at how my classmates dress, the way they carry themselves, the things they know, and the lifestyle they follow. I feel like I am way behind them. Sometimes, I even feel conscious about my clothes because I don't think I dress as well as they do or understand the latest fashion trends.

I know that everyone comes from a different background, but knowing this intellectually doesn't stop me from comparing myself with others.

I sometimes wonder whether people judge me for not knowing these things or for not speaking fluent English. Maybe they don't, but the feeling of not fitting in is still there.

I am now in my second trimester, and instead of feeling more comfortable, I often find myself feeling frustrated, lonely, and mentally exhausted. I came here to learn, grow, build a career, and make good friends, but there are moments when I feel like I don't belong here.

Another major issue is the cost of living in Mumbai. Food is so expensive, especially when you are trying to manage your expenses as a student. I am struggling to find affordable, proper food that I can eat regularly. When you are already mentally stressed, even figuring out what to eat every day becomes another problem.

Sometimes, everything piles up together — academics, summer internship preparation, adjusting to a new lifestyle, struggling with English communication, feeling under confident, managing expenses, and trying to fit in socially. I feel frustrated and don't always know what I should do.

I am not blaming my classmates or saying there is anything wrong with their lifestyle. They have their own backgrounds and experiences, just as I have mine. I just feel that I am struggling to adjust to a world that is very different from the one I grew up in.

Maybe I am overthinking. Maybe I am comparing myself too much. But right now, these feelings are real, and I don't know how to deal with them.

I want to improve myself, but I don't want to feel ashamed of my background, my English, or the person I am today.

So I genuinely want to ask:

- Has anyone from a small town or a modest background experienced something similar after moving to a big city or joining a reputed college?

- How did you deal with the feeling of being less knowledgeable, less fashionable, or less socially aware than your peers?

- How did you improve your spoken English and become comfortable communicating with batchmates who speak much more fluently?

- How did you start making friends and participating in conversations when you couldn't relate to the things everyone was discussing?

- How do you stop comparing yourself with others and develop confidence in your own identity?

- If you are studying at NMIMS SBM Mumbai or have lived in Mumbai as a student, how do you manage affordable, proper food and the cost of living?

I would genuinely appreciate any advice, personal experiences, or even a few words of encouragement from people who have been through this.

If you are going through something similar right now, please share your experience, too. It would help me to know that I am not the only one feeling this way.

I came to Mumbai to build a better future for myself. I don't want this experience to turn into a constant feeling of inferiority and loneliness.

I just want to feel comfortable being myself, make genuine friends, improve my English, enjoy my MBA journey, and grow without constantly feeling that I am not good enough.

Thank you for reading this. I really needed to get this off my chest.

Started preparing in August. Have almost completed arithmetic. algebra number system geometry, doing sets in Dilr but haven't given any mocks yet. Gave a few sectionals. How many mocks will be good enough for practice in last month? And which mocks should I give? Can anyone pls help and guide me

Hey everyone!

I’m 22 and currently working. I’m thinking of preparing for CAT 2027 and would love to connect with someone who’s planning to do the same.

I’m looking for a serious study partner with whom I can share daily targets, update our progress and keep each other accountable. Since managing a job and studying together can get difficult I feel having someone on the same journey would help us stay consistent and motivated!
