After graduation, Pradeep was planning for an M.Tech but his friend suggested to go for an MBA. However, due to a lack of guidance, Pradeep didn\u2019t even know about the MBA or the CAT exam. Pradeep\u2019s friend told him about the exam and the prestigious IIMs which provides a very fulfilling career after graduating. He even advised him to join iQuanta\u2019s Facebook group to resolve his doubts and interact with other aspirants. iQuanta Facebook group is free for all and open for relevant communication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cat-topper-s-academic-limitations\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_Toppers_Academic_Limitations\"><\/span><strong>CAT Topper&#8217;s Academic Limitations<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pradeep didn\u2019t have the privilege that other aspirants have in their CAT journey. Even when he used to go to college, his daily commute was General Coach Train, an affordable and reliable option for him.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iquanta-cat-toppers-meeting-experience\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iQuanta_CAT_Toppers_Meeting_Experience\"><\/span><strong>iQuanta CAT Toppers&#8217; Meeting Experience<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After scoring a successful score of 99.75%ile. Pradeep was invited to join iQuanta\u2019s Topper&#8217;s Meetup. He was not sure about attending the meeting since it was happening in Gurugram, Haryana and there were some reasonable limitations. Yet, iQuanta aids Pradeep by providing flight tickets accommodation, and all other amenities to encourage him and celebrate his success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even for Pradeep, his first flight experience came true. This much support from iQuanta before and after the preparation, Pradeep shares his words in the video.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-was-cat-topper-pradeep-s-life-back-at-home-and-village\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_was_CAT_Topper_Pradeeps_life_back_at_home_and_village\"><\/span><strong>How was CAT Topper Pradeep&#8217;s life back at home and village?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing the talk, Abhishek Sir asked him about his life back home in the village. He shared that after he graduated from the college in May 2024. He used to help in his family business at a departmental store for the next three months. He also follows his habit of waking up early, running, and exercising. Yet, he was not sure about what to do next back then.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_was_the_reason_for_choosing_MBA_over_MTech\"><\/span><strong>What was the reason for choosing MBA over M.Tech?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Asking about his background, we wanted to know why he chose to do an MBA over M.Tech when both things have their advantages. While Pradeep was patient, he shared that he was not particularly interested in engineering, he pursued it out of a strong belief in his village that whether you pursue MBBS or Engineering, there&#8217;s no third way. Since he was good at Maths. Pradeep decided to go for Engineering and see the other options after that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, he didn\u2019t get to go to college because of COVID-19 for a year and a half. After which, he started participating in clubs, and decided not to go for any software jobs or communities. Before he was introduced to iQuanta, he knew only two things: either go for an M.Tech or work in research or a thesis. Moreover, seeing his interest in management, his friend encouraged him to pursue an MBA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-did-his-experience-in-family-business-inspire-him-to-go-for-an-mba\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_his_experience_in_family_business_inspire_him_to_go_for_an_MBA\"><\/span><strong>Did his experience in family business inspire him to go for an MBA?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pradeep shared about how he has been helping his family business for the past 2-3 years whenever he has free time. He used to communicate with customers daily and understand their needs through empathy, compassion, and understanding each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_was_his_familys_reaction_to_result\"><\/span><strong>How was his family\u2019s reaction to result?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pradeep shared that his mother\u2019s first thought was about how they would be going to afford an MBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pradeep got his schooling and graduation for free with the help of scholarships. However, his family was worried about how they could afford such high fees for two years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, Pradeep\u2019s father supported him and showed his confidence in him. Whereas, Pradeep was not confident about himself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-were-pradeep-s-lowest-marks-in-mocks\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_were_Pradeeps_lowest_marks_in_Mocks\"><\/span><strong>What were Pradeep&#8217;s lowest marks in Mocks?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pradeep told Abhishek Sir that his lowest marks were 36 and he scored a single-digit score in Quants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot are good in Maths but other sections in CAT are new to many students, so how you prepare for VARC, Abhishek Sir asked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pradeep shared about how it was his weakest section and how much even after consistent practice, he couldn\u2019t score enough. He even thought to go for the GATE exam since there was no verbal section in it. He thought, \u201cMaybe CAT was not for me\u201d, and \u201cMaybe I couldn\u2019t crack CAT\u201d after seeing the single digit marks or even zero marks in the Verbal section.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, he extended his gratitude to the iQuanta CAT faculty and how they helped him in cracking his weakest section in the exam. Next, he described how he read editorials, essays, and resources shared with him regularly and how he tried to understand the meaning behind them first. Then, he started practicing more hard on verbal, dedicated three to four hours to verbal section only.\u00a0He shared not only he read the articles\/editorials\/essay but also write summary on paper and then posted on the group to see others are doing and what was the actual meaning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further explained how iQuanta&#8217;s VARC Engineers Module helped him create a roadmap to regularly practice RCs and improve his accuracy and how easy the explanations were.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/iquantacat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark>Join the Largest CAT Preparation Community in India<\/mark><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/iquantacat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-1024x648.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44397\" style=\"width:737px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-1024x648.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-300x190.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-768x486.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-1536x972.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-664x420.jpeg 664w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-150x95.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-696x440.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-1068x676.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-ideal-time-to-start-preparing-for-cat\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_ideal_time_to_start_preparing_for_CAT\"><\/span><strong>What is the ideal time to start preparing for CAT?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no ideal time, but if you can dedicate consistent efforts, then three months is fine, and if not, iQuanta could help them like me by guiding them to a customized preparation plan according to the time left and their preparation\u201d, shared Pradeep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cat-topper-pradeepkumar-puchala-s-timetable\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_Topper_Pradeepkumar_Puchalas_Timetable\"><\/span><strong>CAT Topper Pradeepkumar Puchala&#8217;s Timetable<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For him, the first thing was to read an article\/editorial\/essay during breakfast and then solve 10-30 Quant questions daily posted on the group.
