MBA – Masters in Business Administration – these are the few words which have haunted me since the past three years of my life.
The series of mock tests, mock interviews, their results, mugging vocab, solving timed test papers..blah blah blah….i am sure all the MBA aspirants would be able to understand these feelings. These sentences would follow me like the puppy in the Hutch ( now Vodafone ) advertisement…wherever i go, my saga of MBA preparation follows 
A typical cribbing conversation in one complete cycle of form filling -> preparing -> final exams -> results -> interview >- final results would be :
Me: Yaar, this is the last time i am writing the CAT exam. if this time nothing happens, i will continue in my field ( whereas i knew that CAT form filling is going to be an endless festival for me which i would be celebrating each year, hehe)
Me again: You know, XYZ has got admission into ABC (choice of words is not coincidental!), i have been preparing for so long but nothing happens. It all about Luck and no hard work!
Me again: I hate this job, this year i am gonna prepare for GMAT, enough of CAT now. CAT doesn’t deserve me ( innocent me )
Me again:I will apply for executive MBA now..what is the eligibility criteria for that?
There are umpteen sentences i remember which I used to share with my noble friends ( Thanks guys for that).
But now, the story has ended. Finally i got admission into one of the reputed colleges in India and i am joining on 13th June.
As they say, it is not the destination which matters, rather the journey. My tryst with this journey has ended….have learnt a lot from it and value what i have got more so because of this journey…
Have loads of stuff to write about it, but finally ending it with the crux of what i have learnt from this – “Yes, luck does matter…but it is nothing in comparison to the hard work and conviction you put in to reach where you want to be!”

TCYonline.com’s free CAT course has evoked quite an enthusiastic response from this year’s MBA aspirants nationwide. About 1500 students have so far benefited from this unique course, the first of its kind in the country, started in January this year.The free online CAT course is a boon for working professionals like S. Karthikeyan of Chennai, according to whom it is the “best” resource for all the MBA aspirants like him.
“The beauty of this course is one can do it at one’s own pace which is not possible if one joins a regular institute,” he said, adding, “Thanks to good quality, challenging tests and lectures on the website, I prefer an online course to a regular course.”
The course consists of 60-70 recorded lectures and over 200 tests in verbal and quant. It has been meticulously designed by TCYonline.com subject-experts and backed by technical expertise. Equal stress is being laid on Quant and Verbal Aptitude, Data Analysis, and Logical Reasoning.
According to TCYonline.com IT Manager, Mr. Rakesh Kumar, “the current batch (eighth) which began on June 4 received about 500 entries, and the demand is rising every day. In fact, the response is so overwhelming that we are getting requests to increase the maximum limit of 250 students.”
Course salient features:
• Vocabulary and speed reading buildup
• Digital audio lectures and online tests
• Live online technical support
• Subject-wise backing by CAT experts
• Downloadable topic-wise notes.
• Test-wise analysis and nationwide ranking
• Mock CATs and previous year’s original papers
Shivam Srivastava, working with Infosys at Bangalore, too is all praise for this free course. “The online course available on the website is exhaustive and at the same time intensive and focuses on the topics well. The best thing about it is that the lectures provided can be attended at any point of time which gives flexibility to the user. The content is also great and covers everything. Also, regular tests and assignments help you benchmark yourself with others.”
It is worth noting that mock tests and original papers of the other exams like FMS, SNAP, XAT are also available on the website. There are also online business awareness quizzes for IIFT, SNAP, IRMA and MAT. CAT experts advise the students to first work on their basics and graduate to mock and chapter-wise tests after two-three months. Since there is always a surprise element in a CAT exam, keeping in view a steady shift from formula-based to reasoning-based questions during the last couple of years, these types of online tests can better prepare them to face any eventuality.
