“I didn’t know we are not supposed to spend more than 10 seconds on one question. Now, I will be mentally prepared to solve the paper with high speed and accuracy,” said Khadse.

The two-and-half-hour workshop ‘Mission MBA’ organised by Hindustan Times and CPL, a training institute for CAT aspirants, was held at Rangsharda Auditorium, Bandra, and was attended by almost 500 students with diverse academic backgrounds.

The month-long test will be conducted online for a month from October 27 to November 24. “The workshop was excellent. They told us what to study in the last three weeks. Now, I have enough inputs to prepare for the last few days,” said Sandeep Chandore, who will appear for the exam on October 27.

“Before this workshop, I didn’t know that there is a life beyond CAT. Now, I know ten new things about different aspects of the management course,” said Sierra Vaz, mass media graduate from Siddartha College, Churchgate.

Aspirants were given a workbook and a planner to plan the remaining days before the exam. “Though I attended the workshop to know more about CAT, I have gotten to know things beyond the test as well,” said Reshma Nair, third-year commerce student from Vivek College, Goregaon. “While I was in two minds about appearing for the test, now I have the confidence to go for it.”
