Here\u2019s the Interview of Jatin Singla who cleared the CAT exam with 99.3 percentile.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Today we have with us an Aspirant who cleared CAT with 99.3%ile. We have with us Jatin Singla who works in a Top company – Reliance and yet managed to clear the CAT exam with such good marks. So Jatin, Let’s start off by knowing how you managed to prepare for the CAT exam while having a full time job and what did a day in your life look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

JATIN:<\/strong> Basically Reliance follows a culture of 5 days a week which includes 45 hours of work which is roughly 9 hours a day so even if you manage a good sleep of 8 hours then also you will find a good time for the preparation including your coaching, self study and all. So, this was the calculation that I had in my mind, that okay this is how I can do it. Along with this I had a positive factor that I had motivation that I can do this, so this thing really helped me a lot in my preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/span><\/span>\n\n\n\n

I had a target of attending the office for a strict 9 hours. I made sure that I did not spend even a single minute at the office and that was a thing that I followed for 5-6 months of my preparation, when my preparation was at its peak. I used to come home after office at 7pm and iQuanta classes used to begin at 10 in the night. So for me it was 2 hours before the class and 2-3 hours after the class for self study. I used to sleep at around 2:30 am and get up at 8:30 am in the morning and then repeat the same cycle everyday. Apart from this, there were times when I used to feel burnt off so sometimes I took 2-3 days off from my office. So, this is how I managed to do my preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iQuanta CAT Course<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Q: When according to you is the ideal time to start the CAT preparation and what study material and reference material you used for your preparation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

JATIN:<\/strong> I believe before you start your preparation, it is good to do a basic evaluation of what your current standing is so that it can form a base for your entire preparation journey because if you are good with basics then there is no need to go for some basic level books or references and waste time. So, a general evaluation is one thing that I think one should definitely follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, subsequently one should go for a full time CAT course according to their preferred timings and decide how they want to proceed because no matter what study material you follow you just need to find what suits you the best. In my case, I never followed a particular material. I just followed the iQuanta group. I used to solve the doubts in my office time whenever there was a doubt posted in the group. The positive advantage that I had was that I already had my basics cleared in all the 3 sections so I started in June and still managed to study and clear all the concepts. So, if your basics are clear then yes you can start the preparation in the month of May or June. Just start from the mock season ( May, June and July) and go till the end if your basics are already clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
