"CAT THE LIFE CHANGING EXAM"

CAT which is known as Common Admission Test is the common admission exam to enter IIMs, which comes under premier institutes of India, Every year more than 2.5 lakh students register for appearing in CAT exam, which keep on increasing year on year the test has a specific format ,which don’t change frequently ,three sections comprising English ,Quantitative aptitude, and Logical reasoning, the difficult part of the exam for most of the students is Quant , but actually the questions asked in this section are based on fundas that we read till our secondary class i.e. tenth class of C.B.S.E. ,many other institutes of India are taking CAT score in to consideration for there masters Program in management ,which they think are the parameters to qualify a persons ability to manage business, now here am going to put some fact which should come in every student’s mind who take CAT as the life changing exam. ....

FACTS

>The CAT exam is open for all, that any graduate can take it to enter in to INDIAN INSTITUTES OF MANAGEMENT, which certainly increase the competition for those students who has done bachelors in management and want to pursue masters in management. Not a single student is afraid of competition but we can expect the same behavior from the authority, because when it comes to enter in to IIT’s masters course in management which is done through JMET, the APPLICANT MUST BE ENGINEER OR EQUIVALENT DEGREE (B.TECH, B.Sc), which can be found on the link http://www.iitb.ac.in/academic/pgprgm.html, because they ONLY allow commerce and economics masters for appearing in JMET.
The Exam to enter in masters course of IIT is knows as GATE, and many other institute of accepts it as criteria for admission in masters program of technology ,but when we consider the admission in IITs and IISc ,which are also premier institutes of India ,the commerce ,arts and management bachelors are nowhere allowed to take this exam. I think the authority view is negative towards the intellectual ability of students other than science/technology background.

CONCLUSION

IN THE ENTRANCE TEST NAMED AS JMET COMMERCE AND MANAGEMENT GRADUATE STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO APPEAR FOR EXAM WHICH WILL LEAD TO MASTERS PROGRAME IN MANAGEMENT.

AND IN CASE OF MASTERS IN TECHNOLOGY A STUDENT MUST HAVE TO BE GRADUATE IN TECHNOLOGY /SCIENCE.

IS IT A SENESIBLE DECISION?

> Now consider the pattern of exam, the CAT exam which is meant for admission in MANGEMENT program consists of three sections of QUANT, ENGLISH, and LOGICAL REASONING which has nowhere to deal with management ability of the candidate, and which don’t required anything that you read in your graduation.
But when it comes on GATE, it’s all about technology that you read in your graduation, it consist of what you are specialized of in your graduation?
So it’s pretty easy carved way for engineers and science graduates to enter in to their masters program and much difficult for management undergraduates (specially) and commerce undergraduate to enter in to their masters program.
Because a Bachelor in Technology can do Masters in Management but a BBM holder can’t do master in Technology.
BBM students don’t want to enter in tech field, but there should be something in CAT which is based on management, like if a person wants to do masters in economics say from DSE or MSE or ISI, he has to pass the entrance test which includes economics and mathematics. so why CAT left for engineers as a gift?

CONCLUSION
ENGINEERS HAVE TO APPEAR IN THE EXAM FOR MASTERS IN MANAGEMENT WHERE NO MANAGEMENT IS ASKED, AND STUDENTS WHICH ARE BACHELORS IN MANAGEMENT HAVE TO FIGHT FOR QUANT AND LOGICAL REASONING, AM NOT STATING BECAUSE COMMERCE STUDENTS NEED BENEFIT FROM AUTHORITY, BUT AM STATING THIS BECAUSE AUTHORITY IS MAKING THE ENGINEERS WAY EASY FOR ENTRANCE WHILE NOT ASKING ABOUT MANAGEMENT AND COMMERCE IN CAT.
NOW PEOPLE CLAIM THAT THE PATTERN FOR MANAGEMENT ENTRANCE IS WORLDWIDE ACCEPTED AS GMAT WHICH ALSO CONSIST SAME PATTERN AND SECTIONS, BUT I WOULD LIKE ASK, WHAT IS THE PATTERN FOR GRE GENERAL TEST WHICH IS THE BASIS OF ENTRANCE CRITERIA FOR MANY MASTERS PROGRAMS IN THE FIELD OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN WHOLE WORLD, THE ONE OF THE TOP INSTITUTE IN FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY NAMED AS “MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY” ASK FOR GRE GENERAL TEST SCORE WHICH CONSIST OF VERBAL, QUANT, ANALYTICAL SKILLS.
SO IF YOU WANT TO COPY SOMETHING FROM THE GROWING WORLD THEN COPY IT IN BOTH WAYS, AND IF YOU WANT TO ADOPT DIFFERENT WAYS OF ENTRANCE THEN AGAIN IMPLIMENT IN BOTH WAYS.

THE SCENE WHICH IS GETTING A SHAPE IS THAT, ENGINEERS AND SCIENCE GRADUATES HAVE MANY OPTIONS TO STUDY, THEY CAN GO WITH MBA AS WELL AS THEIR MASTERS PROGRAM AND IN SECOND FRONT BBM/B.Com STUDENTS HAVE ONLY ONE OPTION AND IN WHICH THEY ARE NOT ASKING ABOUT THEIR FIELD.

“DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY INDIA”

SO PEOPLE JUST THINK ABOUT IT ,MY VIEWS ARE ONLY TO GET FAVOUR THAT ENGINEER STUDENTS ARE GETTING EASILY .
BECAUSE IN THIS WAY, A DAY WILL COME .. WHEN COMMERCE AND MANAGEMENT GRADUATES WILL HAVE TO BE GADUATE FOR EVER AS THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OPTIONS, AND THE AVAILABLE OPTIONS ARE HIGHLY COMPETATIVE, BUT FOR ENGINEERS TO ENTER IN TO MASTERS PROGRAME IS JUST A CAKE WALK.
