Learn CAT Coaching with Free Lessons & Tips

Hi Ashish,

Although your 12th percentage is lower than the other degree, it is not low enough to create a hindrance to your IIMs Aspiration. You should keep in mind the following points-

1. Give your best in CAT exams because the percentile will decide which IIM you will be called to.

2. Practice your SOP well; this is a vital deciding factor.

3. Prepare well for the interview.

IIMS have various factors on which the admits are decided, and this will certainly not create a hindrance unless you underperform in any of the above tests.

Good luck!

Hi Bhautik,

Being Eligible to write CAT is different from being eligible to get into IIMS. There are so many factor based on which you get an interview call. When A student applied for IIMS right after bachelors, then inadvertently academics become the only criteria for them to decide. This however, is not the case with experience candidates. One you have a good industry experience of 3 years you can hit it better. If you seriously wish to pursue MBA do not limit yourself to IIMS on and look for atleast 5 best Bschools in the country. You are eligible to write all the entrance exams but I would suggest you to build an extremely strong profile before you apply. All the best.Feel free to reach out to me should you have any further questions.

Suppose we want to find highest power of a number(n) in n factorial m

It is calculated by 

=[m/n]+[m/n*n]+[m/n*n*n]....

where [] is greatest integer 

Example if we want to find highest power of 5 in 30 factorial 

It will be [30/5]+[30/25]

=6+1

So highest power of 5 in 30 factorial is 7

A Cone is a 3D geometrical figure and questions related to volume, surface area and slant height are generally asked in the exam.

the following expressions give the general formula of the volume

v= area of base x height

so applying this concept here in the cone the area of the base is a circle with radius r and height is h but since they all are going to a common vertex we need to put additional 1/3

v=1/3* (pi* r^2)*h

and in the same fashion, the curved surface area or lateral surface area is given by a general expression

curved surface area= perimeter of base Xslant height

c.s.a.= 1/2 *2*pi*r*l

and finally total surface area= c.s.a.+ pi*r^2

there is also a use of Pythagoras theorem in slant height

i.e.

l^2= r^2+h^2.

also, there are several questions related to trigonometry and cone combined.

Thanks
