    Reading is the best method to improve your vocabulary. Make a habit to read newspapers, books based upon your subjects of interest and try to note down each and every new word learnt along with its meaning. In addition, you can also watch English news channels. These methods will certainly help you to improve your vocabulary.

With a 300 SC category rank in CAT, your chances for NIT Trichy MBA are relatively high. Based on 2025 data, NIT Trichy generally shortlists SC candidates with CAT percentiles around 60-65. To achieve a 300 rank under SC category, you would need about a 65-70 percentile, or a score of roughly 60-65 marks out of 198 in CAT 2025, depending on difficulty and normalization process. Final selection is also based on interview, academics, and work experience.
