ROADMAP FOR MBA ASPIRANTS

Many of you must be at crossroads, absolutely flummoxed lameting over your plight attributed to time you wasted in commuting by train for your MBA coahing classes.I also went through same phase when my 6th sem exams were over.It must have been roughly five months since you would have joined classes.
Considering my your case study approximately as same I am sharing my views by which most of you can eradicate the flaws & prepare further with vigour.The reason behind my plight was unplanned,unscheduled approach.Well, Our Honorary President Mr. Avir Pakul Jainullabdin Abdul kalam very succintly quotes that when you don't have a mission then you won;t succeed.So Its high time you guys get into "MISSION MODE" & this "MISSION IS NOT IMMPOSSIBLE" if you envisage yourself in IIM's & other top B-schools(read my forthcoming blog"LIFE BEYOND IIM'S). Whatever happened is past , learn from your mistakes & try to weed out the flaws by doing SWOT analysis of yourself.Find out what areas you are strong in & what areas are you weak in & work on the weak areas.Taking mock test is like lithmus test for knowing your strong & weak areas.
Those were some qualitative analysis now some DO's n DONT's.
DO's
1)Inculcate habbit of doing an RC excercise 5 times a week & analysis too
2)DI exercise daily(a must as there are hell of different DI questions) so no escaping
-DI
-DS
-sometimes analytical reasoning comes in forms of graphs also you must know basic formulas of SI,CI etc
As name suggests this is DI i.e interpretation of data.So key point is to interpret,going by my experience once you interpret data correctly than it makes life easier n u get answers in a jiffy
3)Practise quants n sectionalize it.Choose wat sections are you going to attempt.Let me just mention some of major sections
-Number System(Imp)
-Ratio & proportion
-Mixtures & Allegation
-S.T, C.I, PLD(Profit Loss Disount)
-Geometry etc
4)VA
-english usage
-Summary type Passage
-Parajumbles(imp if u practise u'll score more)
-Fill in blanks
5)RC
You have to choose 3 RC atmost concentrate on accuracy rather than quantity.Post you comments if u wish to know more.I'll post blogs regarding good B schools besides IIM's.Best of luck for your preprations.
6)most imp ATTEMPT FIX NO OF MOCKS(say 20 from now till 1st nov) n ANLAYSING THEM IS MUST
7) take a break after 1st as ur prep wuld be over.

DONT's
1)Donot overattempt mocks,generally ppl tend to attempt far too many mocks leaving analysis for future which is a strict no no
2)Don't be pressurised by ur peers.Remember u have a specified time in which u have to maximise ur score basically u have to find a planned jugad n that wats management is all about.


Those who joined MBA classes recently shouldn't loose heart as in my opinion they have an edge as guys who joined in Jan or Feb must be loosing steam which is a danger sign.
One piece of advise never say die till last few days
