So what do you think that  have you learned everything which is important to get into top B- schools? If yes then please forgive me there is still something left you all want to know. Let’s hear from the mouth of Vega. She is a girl who always topped mocks but she forgets one thing. As every good student think if he is performing well in verbal section, he  has good communication skills. Friend’s communication is all very different scenarios. Take case of World champion speakers- they are educated but they are not topper’s in their time in their schools or college. Communication is an art which we have to learn through others’ experience yes friends & that Vega forgot at that moment. See what happened she cleared FMS written two times but she was out of the league in group discussion & personal interview. Lot of students assume that three months are enough after written exam what we get for GD/PI prep and they think that they will going to get every help by coaching institutes what they require for interview. Friends it’s a long process of transforming oneself into a personality who when speaks others stare and keeps quite for that time. If this happens then assume that you have learned the art of saying something worthwhile. So I thought that I must share this secret which has transformed million’s of life & can benefit you all also & which has started working for Vega also.

One thing until now I have noticed that you all have neither asked us any queries nor gave any suggestion. Do I assume that you all have imbibed the skills which we were talking in the past? Ifyes then is the final skill which is very important for your preparation.

Lets see how, when two days back I was talking to IIM – A alumni Ritesh who had passed out in year 2008. As per normal strategy we used to question them what they think is better and what they had done different to bell CAT, but this time I conversed with him that when I used to prepare for Online CAT, my mode of strategy was something like equal time to all subjects. Suddenly he replied no Bhuvanesh you adopted approach which normal students think. My friends if you want to be in different league you have to different from others. Shiv Khera said “Winners don’t do different things they do things differently”. I was charged yes man I am going to get my next X – factor and that too one of the important which is directly related to preparation. At this moment of time students need something worthwhile to adopt. Friends he named this strategy “Linear Approach”. He told me that today also I used to teach some students & you know how I ask them to prepare. I said how I can know; you just started telling your unique strategy. He replied you have good sense of humor. Ritesh jokes apart let’s come to serious business. I ask them to become mad after one thing. I don’t ask them that give equal time like most of the coaching institutes say. For example I asked my students to give only 15 days for DI preparation. I was astonished; we give whole one year with little time on a daily basis for DI, but at the end of the day we aren’t able to get competitive scores in DI. He asked try out, I said practice 10 sets of DI for 15 days. Then you must have practiced 150 sets by that time and pick any paper for DI and check whether you are still able to clear the cut offs or not. I got his method, if you are running exhausted so much in a particular technique that even you don’t have to revise that particular technique again. Same for the Quant or Verbal section if you fear No system/Geometry practice No system/ Geometry for 5 to 10 days. Do you think practicing these topics for 5 to 10 days are you going to leave any good concept or question in the market. No simply because allotted time is more than that & you will going to achieve best state what you people can never think off. Same in the verbal if you fear Para jumbles or FIB’s then practice them for 5 to 10 days. After practicing them for couple of days you can cover at least 500 Q’s. Still you think you need more practice. Yes friends after that you also don’t need any test series also to compare yourself with others. If you think you have done your homework with honesty then you will come out with flying colors.

Friends don’t forget to use linear approach, see in 15 days we can cover 1/3rd course of CAT and only two sections to go and what do you think how much time still you need. Two months more or 3. Those have started their preparation just now, do not have to panic they have good time to bell one of the easiest exam. Hats off to Ritesh who has given good strategy to follow at the moment of heat & especially for students who are worrying so much.

So friends don’t forget to read last article for X – Factor next week which can actually topple your personality upside down & will make you worthwile to speak in front of crowd. Do give your valuable suggestions in the form of comment so that we can know whether we’ve been able to fulfill your needs or not.

• Make Verbal your Strength. Few tips!

Friends after a break of one week we are back with new pedagogy which can help you built that student inside you which can take you ahead in this journey which once started but never stops until you learn the art of performing like manager.

So tell me one thing what we have learned till now, is it worthwhile for MBA or not. I haven’t got the response yet. I am assuming that you all must be practicing them or trying to attain them in your attitude. If started then it’s alright because we started doing our work. Friends-lesson for this week; yesterday I gave call to one of the IIM-A student Shashank who had passed out from NSIT in 2008. He gave CAT in 2007, but wasn’t able to get calls & his percentile was around 98. This year he was able to clear all the hurdles you know why. Let’s know from the mouth of Shashank what he has done next year to be part of those lucky 1700’s. He told me that when you do something from your heart you become emotional and you forget to find your weakness. Actually I thought for a while & said in my mind yes he is right. He told me that this year I took lots of mock but I started finding those things which were always on negative part of my score. Lets think like this he took four mocks and he found that in every mock he is getting his Para jumbles wrong. So for next four days he practiced Para jumbles so much with concepts that his weakness became his strength. That became his habit for every subject like if he founds that he is not performing well in geometry then he practiced geometry so much for next couple of days that his geometry became his strength. Friends he told me that like this nothing remained his weakness. When he sat for CAT he has arrows of all type and he has no fear this time. He knew that he had practiced so much that nothing can come in his path. In the end friends he named his process SWOT:

A) S: Strength.

B) W: Weakness.

C) O: Opportunity.

D) T: Threats.

He politely told me never forget to apply SWOT in your day to day to life and you start getting your road map very clear what are your current resources which can help you moving further and what are your road blocks which can stop you moving ahead. Friends it is very difficult to apply what others say, but it is easy to learn from others experience. What they have faced has become your resource now, it actually depends on you how smartly you use manipulate things according to you. Friends same thing happens we are given case studies you know why. To help us by reading others experience. If any queries related to SWOT you are most welcome. Don’t forget to practice & practice and find your weakness and try make your weakness your best friend.

Thanks…………………..

When I spoke to Rahul (IIM-B batch of 2010), he said he never was keen on doing MBA. MBA was one of the options he had kept in mind but it was not all.

He said, probably what worked for him was the attitude that his teacher (VM) inculcated in him. And this attitude was “MBA is not the end of the road’. It’s just a means to achieve the end. And end is where we (I, in my case) see ourselves some 20/30 years down the line.

He said, he wanted to do MBA only because it was like a Rajdhani train for him, that could have paced up what he wanted to do. But then MBA was not the only way. He said even if he would not have got into IIMB, then also he knew that he would have been working on the path to his ultimate goal.

When I asked him, what his ultimate goal was, he replied ‘action speaks louder then words’. He said, I don’t want to tell it now and later give you a chance to ask ‘What happened to your dream’. He said he rather want to tell it to everyone once he see some light towards the end of tunnel i.e. when he will be about to achieve his goal.

Friends, I called VM sir, immediately, after talking to this chap and was thinking that I have not got enough to right for this X factor. He told me an interesting story of a friend and batch mate of his student, IIMC batch of 2004. That fellow, called Malli first of all did not participate in campus placements at IIMC. Why, because his dream was to conquer 7 mountains of the world on 7 different days of week in 7 different months. And also to make a world record by doing so in less then 6 months. (http://iimcal.blogspot.com/)

After talking to VM sir, I googled about this fellow and found that it was/is indeed true.

I could not get the contacts of this fellow Malli. But then VM sir only told me that this guy attributes his making this world record to IIMC. He says that if IIMC would not have been in his life he would not have been able to do what he did.

After reading about that guy, I was able to relate to what Rahul said ‘MBA is not the end of the road‘ and it’s just a means to achieve the end.

My opinion: One should be open to learning’s, whatever comes one’s way. Plus one should have a dream (Whether one is working on it or not, but then one should be able to see the dream daily). And then keep working towards whatever comes your way. Some day, whatever you are doing will automatically get associated with your dream.

So  guys all the best. Keep doing what comes your way. Keep enjoying what you are doing. Just remember that success is standing on the path you are on. Just that some has to travel a little to get it and some has to travel a lot to get it. But those who won’t stop traveling, for sure will get it.

Thanks……………………………………………..

• X – Factor – 1
• X – Factor :- 2

For past one week I was thinking what to  write at this crucial juncture, because still we have decent 4.5 months, which can  be used to actually topple the image upside down. I have many things to tell you about CAT, but most important is the right thing at the right time. So friends after a serious struggle with my thoughts I encountered Neha Sharma who is a English teacher for MBA prep. I discussed with her recently that I have started a new series at MBA Tutes  X – Factor which teach you crucial things. So I took her opinion what she thinks what is crucial at the D-day.  She replied immediately “BE A GOOD SON OR GOOD DAUGHTER”. I was shocked after listening to this; I asked her again- are you sure that this is related to cat in any way. She replied again- yes dude I am not a nonplussed person. Then she introspected me by engaging me among few questions. Then I realize what she is saying is true enough to believe. You know what happened in those 5 minutes? She asked me have you ever asked your father can I help you out in any means, which can reduce your work load? or have you ever asked your mother that can I make your morning pretty? or when was the last time you have hugged your parents. These were the few questions which she asked me but they left me in a state of zero. I didn’t have the answer for any single Q. I remained quiet for a while; then she again said- yes bhuvanesh on the D – day only BLESSINGS COUNT. She told me that the whole process works like round cycle- when you are a good son or a good daughter, then you act like a perfect human being and your ambiance becomes a perfect temple of learning & there is no sign of negativity in your surrounding & your parents help you out of all the troubles. So I came to conclusion that was the reason for my last year failing results. I always believe that what you need end of the day is GOOD IQ level. So I always knew that I don’t have a problem in belling CAT, but my results proved me wrong. This thought of  Neha vibrated my whole soul like a pendulum swinging without motto & took me to my past. Yes I have done everything to bell the cat, but why was I not able to part of those 1700? It is because I was not able to generate such positive energy which could change my results. I respected my parents but I was not able to become GOOD SON and that’s why I was not able to get that lucky blessings which could have helped me on the D – day when everything has gone haywire due  to some unknown twists of CAT.

So friends believe me when you are a “GOOD SON OR GOOD DAUGHTER” then your surrounding generates such a positive vibrancy which keeps your heart calm & cool, and at the end of the day allows you to think from your mind wisely. Friends when your heart runs faster than normal on most important day of your life then nothing goes according to your plan. So to keep your heart filled with calmness to get X – FACTOR from your parents. Try to incorporate these changes and these can change your results. Still lot to go. Don’t forget to read next week exclusive interview with  IIM – A students.

Please don’t forget to give your valuable suggestions which will improve this series by remarkable mark. Keep asking questions why you think so , If  I don’t follow this what will go wrong. Make this series a discussion forum among us. Let’s make this series count………………………………….

Friends When I called this student studying in IIM Calcutta, I asked him various questions but I was not able to discover that unique answer which I wanted to discover. Then I started asking him that while preparation did he feel frustrated when he was not able to score good in mocks or when he was not able to crack quant questions at great speed. Then he replied yes & he narrated me one incident. Around March in the class he shouted once at one of the students who was disturbing him while solving question. Vaibhav sir saw &  called him after the class & asked  him why you get so much tense while studying. You must learn to enjoy your studies, but he replied that he has so many goals and ambitions & he don’t want to get distracted. Then sir replied you must go and do ART OF LIVING BASIC COURSE. That student asked continuously that sir tell me what’s it’s all about?  but sir didn’t give any answer. Sir smiled do you trust  me and are you ready to help me out in your preparation, then please go and do what I have asked you to do. He called his mom and asked her to get information about AOL course & luckily course was starting from next day. He joined that course which was of 6 days duration. Friends can any one imagine what happened, his life transformed. That boy became so calm and humble that one day someone hit his car from behind and he replied it’s ok. This course made him tension free and helped him to achieve some spirituality. This boy who get piqued by other’s disturbance and get himself involved in healthy discussion while making them explain that he is studying.  Now he became the man of silence, it didn’t matter to him whether there is loud music playing if he want to study then nobody can stop him. In the last he told me that AOL part – 1 played major role in his life while cracking Cat because he was able keep his nerves cool and in control which helped him to take proper decisions.

So friends I was astonished by the X-Factor which I have discovered while interviewing him on mobile that keeping your nerves cool on the D – DAY is major task. He also told me whether you get any surprises or not also try to go with your proven strategy because end of the day you have chances that your strategy will mold to surprises but new strategy according to the situation will end up with nothing.

So friends keep yourself updated with X-Factor series and try to keep us updated with your valuable comments- what do you feel about X-factor? You can also give your response on our feedback section.
