Is it tough for a non-engineering student to clear CAT with a high score? How many months are required for full CAT preparation?
-
Being an engineer and cracking the CAT exam with a good score are two different things. There is no internal connection between them. It is not necessary for you to be an engineer to score well in your CAT. Also, if you're targeting an IIM and you're a non-engineer, the cut-off for you will be less as compared to the engineers. The number of months required to crack the CAT exam depends on your skills and abilities but generally, it takes around 8-9 months to do well in your CAT. -
It is a myth that engineering students have an advantage in CAT. All branches students can crack CAT with six months of preparation. -
No, it doesn't matter to which field you belong. For CAT, minimum 4-5 months are required to score well.
All the best. -
No, it is not tough at all. CAT exam checks your aptitude. It doesn't matter from which field do you belong. CAT preparation requires around 4-5 months of hard work but it totally depends upon you. It can vary from person to person.
