He is a BBA graduate from Saint Xavier&#8217;s College, Jaipur. Now talking about his CAT percentile, he scored 99.04 percentile in his first attempt and 99.42 percentile in CAT 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-time-did-cat-topper-give-for-cat-preparation-how-he-managed-it\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_time_did_CAT_Topper_give_for_CAT_preparation_how_he_managed_it\"><\/span><strong>How much time did CAT Topper give for CAT preparation, how he managed it?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Saksham joined iQuanta in June 2024, just 5 months before CAT exam and devoted different time blocks where he studied for 2 hours for Quant because this was his stronger section, he practiced 35-40 questions daily. He gave 2 hours for LRDI section as he took the hardest set to solve everyday so that it took him longest time to solve and build the stamina. He solved minimum 6-7 sets in 2 hour duration. LRDI  inception videos helped me a lot. As well as 1 hour for VARC (Verbal Ability &amp; Reading Comprehension) which includes reading books and essays, 1 complete VARC section test daily along with 20 VA questions and 4 RC sets everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-was-the-most-helpful-feature-which-iquanta-provided-to-saksham\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_was_the_most_helpful_feature_which_iQuanta_provided_to_Saksham\"><\/span><strong>What was the most helpful feature which iQuanta provided to Saksham?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most helpful feature was the community that iQuanta provided. He used to study at night and that time there was no one to solve his doubts but after posting doubts on iQuanta community, it got solved within 10-15 minutes and that is the best part. I think many other students will agree on this as this feature we cannot get anywhere else. iQuanta\u2019s peer-to-peer model provided instant help.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his last CAT attempt, he was a fresher and was having lot of doubts which were not resolved at that time as his previous coaching doesn&#8217;t provide this instant doubt solving approach. This year, iQuanta community service makes it very easy and special thanks to Jaipur iQuanta faculty, Mr. Shamal Sir &amp; Mr. Gaurav Sir, who were always available to solve our doubts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-did-he-faced-hurdle-during-his-cat-preparation-amp-how-did-cat-topper-saksham-overcome-it\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_he_faced_hurdle_during_his_CAT_preparation_How_did_CAT_topper_Saksham_overcome_it\"><\/span><strong>Did he faced hurdle during his CAT preparation &amp; How did CAT topper Saksham overcome it ?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Saksham&#8217;s first hurdle was that this was his second attempt, first attempt was 99.04 percentile of which he got calls form various prominent colleges but his dream college was FMS Delhi and he didn\u2019t got a call from there (FMS Delhi cutoff was 99.15+ percentile).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So he took a calculative decision to retake the CAT exam. His family was supporting him, but back in his mind he was struggling with the thought that what if he score less than his previous percentile, what his family &amp; friends will think about him, and that\u2019s where iQuanta\u2019s Jaipur faculty role came in the picture. Every faculty out there boost my morale and handled my sensitivity very well. They taught him that move on from your past and try to make your future better, control it.<\/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=\"1600\" height=\"1012\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44397\" style=\"width:656px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM.jpeg 1600w, 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-1024x648.jpeg 1024w, 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\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cat-topper-suggestion-to-future-cat-aspirants\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_Topper_Suggestion_to_Future_CAT_Aspirants\"><\/span><strong>CAT Topper Suggestion to Future CAT Aspirants !<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest suggestion Saksham want to give to future CAT aspirants is to practice lots and lots of mocks, that is non-negotiable. Mocks help you handle time pressure immensely. He himself didn\u2019t take mocks seriously during his first attempt. He gave only 15-20 mocks, which degraded his score. But this time he gave 30 plus mocks, which increases his morale day by day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, practice VC and Quant on regular basis which maintain a schedule. For LRDI, practice the easiest sets first and then move further to hardest one; with this you can actually measure your growth. Analysis of mocks is equally important to further calculate your mistakes and to learn from them, without analysis mocks won\u2019t help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Dx1rfNGk_3k&amp;list=PL4YW4OWyzRDTe0MFnx5LuYrlkmiudZLwg&amp;index=73\"><strong>Saksham\u2019s CAT story<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>is one of a courage, planning, and calculated ambition. He did not settle for \u201cgood enough\u201d but aimed for the best and reached it. With iQuanta\u2019s support, he converted stress into structure, and confusion into confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering whether to retake CAT or how to improve beyond 99 %ile, Saksham\u2019s journey is your answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>iQuanta&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/cat-2026\">CAT Course 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/cat-2026\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-747x420.png 747w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-696x392.png 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-1068x601.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAT is one of the most unique and challenging exams in India.
