He scored 87.8% in 10th, 90.16% in 12th and 79.3% in his graduation. After graduating in CSE from VIT Vellore, Shreyas had a clear goal of&nbsp; reaching a top managerial position. Like many engineering graduates, he turned to his peers for advice, and the answer kept coming back the same: pursue an MBA. He was ready. He was convinced.

And with it, he missed the CAT 2024 registration window entirely. While pursuing NISM courses and working in a trading role for commodities, he kept his MBA goal alive. He started watching videos around CAT preparation and came across the iQuanta YouTube channel. One of his friends suggested it too, highlighting especially the channel for its regular updates and practice sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was enough information for him to get started with. Shreyas enrolled in the iQuanta CAT 2025 Full Course Pro and began his journey, from scratch, as a complete fresher, with no prior CAT attempt behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-31-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76655\" style=\"width:590px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-31-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-31-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-31-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-31-315x420.png 315w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-31-150x200.png 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-31-300x400.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-31-696x928.png 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-31-1068x1424.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-31.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-preparation-felt-like-to-the-cat-topper\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Preparation_Felt_Like_To_The_CAT_Topper\"><\/span><strong>When Preparation Felt Like To The CAT Topper<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having access to a course and actually progressing through it are two very different things. For the CAT Topper, the early days of preparation were genuinely hard. Starting preparation for CAT from scratch was difficult, especially the aptitude section. Daily practice got tougher for Shreyas as the scores weren&#8217;t improving. Even after attempting multiple mocks, the path forward felt unclear. The preparation felt lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-things-started-to-click-for-the-iquanta-student-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Things_Started_to_Click_For_The_iQuanta_Student\"><\/span><strong>How Things Started to Click For The iQuanta Student&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s when Shreyas did something that made all the difference, he started posting his doubts on the iQuanta group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consistency, as it always does, started paying off for the CAT Topper. The daily practice reminders built the rhythm. Doubts that once piled up started getting resolved one by one. Concepts that felt abstract began to feel familiar for him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The practice questions were pitched at exactly the right level, true CAT difficulty. The teachers explained concepts in a way that was simple to grasp. And being part of an active student community made the long preparation stretch feel less like a solo effort and more like a shared journey for the iQuanta student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result of all this? DILR, the one section he found difficult to start with, became Shreyas&#8217;s favourite and strongest section. He scored 99 percentile in it on exam day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-iquanta-helped-shreyas-through-his-cat-journey\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_iQuanta_Helped_Shreyas_Through_His_CAT_Journey\"><\/span><strong>How iQuanta Helped Shreyas Through His CAT Journey<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The response from iQuanta was immediate. Moderators, iQuanta team members, and fellow students helped him clear his doubts, pick up pace and rebuild momentum.&nbsp; iQuanta gave the CAT Topper a complete ecosystem to prepare, recover, and ultimately excel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what made the difference according to the CAT Topper:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Structured Course Content<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The very first thing that drew Shreyas to iQuanta was how well the content was organised. For a fresher starting from zero, having a clear roadmap mattered the most. The iQuanta CAT 2025 Full Course Pro gave him exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">CAT-Level Daily Practice Questions<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest wins in the CAT Topper&#8217;s preparation was consistency, and iQuanta&#8217;s daily practice questions help him maintain that consistency. The questions were at exactly the right CAT level difficulty which meant that by the time he sat for the actual exam, the paper felt like just another day of practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Simple, Effective Teaching<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What helped the CAT topper was iQuanta&#8217;s way to explain complex concepts simply. Whether it was QA, VARC, or DILR, the iQuanta faculty helped him understand this section in a way that was easy to understand and apply. It became a critical advantage for him as he was learning the concepts from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">The iQuanta Community<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moderators, faculty, and fellow students in the iQuanta community helped clear his doubts promptly and that helped keep his momentum alive. Being a PwD aspirant, the community helped him with his profile-specific queries as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">A Sense of Belonging<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iQuanta helped the CAT Topper by providing the assurance that he wasn&#8217;t doing this alone, given the overwhelming feeling after long hours of preparation, self-doubt and uncertainty. The iQuanta community helped him stay grounded and engaged. The community gave him the feeling that previous CAT aspirants have faced the same and overcome it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shreyas-s-advice-for-future-cat-aspirants\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shreyass_Advice_for_Future_CAT_Aspirants\"><\/span><strong>Shreyas&#8217;s Advice for Future CAT Aspirants<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked what he&#8217;d tell students just starting out, Shreyas kept it simple-&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Go for selected study material and stick with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-takeaway-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Takeaway\"><\/span><strong>Key Takeaway&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re preparing for CAT from scratch, starting late or starting over, this CAT Topper&#8217;s story is a true example that proves that how you prepare is more important than when you prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-shadow\" style=\"margin-bottom:30px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-luminous-vivid-orange-to-vivid-red-gradient-background has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/\" style=\"border-radius:33px\">CAT 2026 Course by iQuanta <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-15-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76392\" style=\"width:1008px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-15-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-15-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-15-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-15-336x420.png 336w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-15-150x188.png 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-15-300x375.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-15-696x870.png 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-15-1068x1335.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-15.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every CAT topper&#8217;s journey is different.
