Hi, I am from IIM L and things here are a bit tough for everyone irrespective of their background. At least for the first two terms. However people who work hard do succeed irrespective of their background. It is all about who works harder.

There are multiple avenues. We have 30+ clubs and committees involved in different activities. We have good facilities for almost all sports. Culture activities also happen. To take part in any of this is your call, but I would say be involved in all this as much as possible. Of course take care of your acads also

Hi, I would suggest beginning with the basics. Pick up 1 topic at a time and do approx 50 questions from it. Do the same for all topics. Keep revising regularly. Have you joined any coaching?

This depends on the faculty of your city. However in general TIME is considered better than IMS but then it does vary city wise

Please check your eligibility for writing CAT. I think you should not have less than 60 percent in any exam

01:16 PM

mathurkritika29

It's less than 50% . One should not have less than 50% in graduation.
