What to do after CAT 2019 Results?
You have crossed the first stage to receive your MBA dream. It is time to focus on the next step that can increase your chances of getting into your dream business school.
● The first thing to do after the announcement of CAT 2019 results should be to shortlist the list of institutions a candidate wishes to apply. If you have secured a good CAT score, then you will get call letter for the next stage from many MBA colleges- both top and average business schools. It is wise to accept the call letters from the top MBA colleges if you have a good CAT score.
● A CAT percentile score above 90 is considered to be a good CAT score. A candidate receiving such percentile should prepare exceptionally well for the WAT and PI rounds for top colleges as the competition is bound to get fierce.
● What to do if you have low CAT score? A candidate securing low CAT percentile should not lose hopes. He/She should work harder to obtain proper weightage in the WAT/ GD and PI rounds to better their overall score component.
