2e:T4d5,I took CAT three times. 44 percentile the first time, with a 10 in DILR. Two gap years, roughly 300 days of prep across two attempts, and I clawed my way to 97.84 with a 98.8 in the section that nearly broke me. Converted IIM Kozhikode on the first merit list. I have been running a GD-PI course for the last 3 years and helped more than 500 people get to their desirable B-school. An ex-placement committee member ran a YouTube channel along with a full-time job, did a lot of case competitions, and was awarded as the case solver of the batch. Now I teach people how to navigate the summers and finals placement, help with CV review, and case competitions I didn't do it on talent. I did it on systems, and that's what I teach: how to prepare when you don't feel smart enough, when you've already failed once, when the score sheet says you can't. 500+ aspirants mentored through my GD-PI course. 1,245 sessions on this page, 4.9/5 across 279 ratings. I also compete. 14 nationals, 9 podiums, 3 PPIs (Amazon, Salaryse, NHAI) in case competitions, which is where the resume, case-comp, and placement services below come from.

Build section-wise fundamentals (school-level maths for QA, daily reading for RC, timed sets for DILR), then move to previous year papers and weekly full-length mocks. Analyse every mock for set-selection errors and silly mistakes, because CAT rewards strategy as much as concepts."},{"question":"How to start CAT preparation if you are a complete beginner?","answer":"Begin with a diagnostic test, then spend the first 4–6 weeks only on fundamentals: NCERT-level maths for QA, one reading comprehension passage daily, and one DILR set daily. Fix a realistic schedule—2 to 3 hours a day if you are working or studying—and add sectional tests gradually. One standard book per section plus past papers is enough at the start; don't collect ten resources."},{"question":"What is the ideal CAT preparation duration?","answer":"Most successful candidates prepare seriously for 6–12 months, roughly 300–500 hours of focused study. If your basics are weak or you are re-attempting after a low score, add buffer time for fundamentals. A previous bad score or gap years don't decide the outcome—what matters is consistent daily practice and regular mocks in the months you have now."},{"question":"Does CAT preparation for MBA also help with other entrance exams?","answer":"Yes. Quant, VARC and DILR overlap heavily with XAT, SNAP, NMAT and CMAT, so one base of preparation covers multiple B-school tests. You need small additions—Decision Making for XAT, faster solving speed for NMAT—but the core is shared, which is why most Indian MBA aspirants take three or four exams in the same season."},{"question":"Which are the best CAT preparation books?","answer":"Commonly recommended ones are Arun Sharma or Sarvesh Verma for QA, Arun Sharma plus previous CAT papers for DILR, and Nishit Sinha with daily editorial reading for VARC. Whichever you pick, finish one book per section with timed practice instead of buying many. Previous year CAT papers are non-negotiable, since concepts repeat year after year."},{"question":"Is CAT preparation online enough, or is classroom coaching necessary?","answer":"Online preparation is enough if you are disciplined—live or recorded lectures, a mock test series and doubt-solving support cover the full syllabus today. Classroom coaching mainly adds routine and peer pressure. Whether you join a CAT preparation course or self-study, the deciding factors remain the same: weekly mocks, honest analysis and consistent practice."},{"question":"What is RC in CAT preparation?","answer":"RC stands for Reading Comprehension—the passage-based questions that form the bulk of CAT's VARC section. Each passage comes with around four to five questions testing inference, tone and the main idea, not memorised vocabulary. Improve by reading long-form editorials daily and practising passages from previous CAT papers under a timer."},{"question":"What is DILR in CAT?","answer":"The DILR full form in CAT is Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning. It is the section where you solve time-bound sets combining charts, tables, arrangements and puzzles, in both MCQ and type-in-the-answer format. Unlike QA, it depends less on formulas and more on set selection and speed of thinking, which is why it troubles most aspirants."},{"question":"How to prepare DILR for CAT?","answer":"Solve at least one timed set every day and previous year CAT sets weekly—DILR is a skill you build, not a syllabus you finish. The most effective DILR preparation strategy is set selection: scan all sets, attempt the three or four most familiar ones first, and abandon any set the moment you get stuck. Even if you start badly—Hemant Tulsan went from a score of 9 to 98.8 percentile in this section—daily timed practice rebuilds it from scratch."},{"question":"How to solve DILR in CAT quickly?","answer":"Spend the first few minutes scanning every set and rating them by familiarity instead of starting with the first one. Cap each set at roughly ten minutes, approximate wherever data allows, and never let one puzzle eat the time of three. Speed comes from having solved hundreds of sets beforehand so your brain recognises patterns instantly."},{"question":"What is GDPI preparation?","answer":"GDPI preparation is getting ready for the Group Discussion and Personal Interview rounds that B-schools conduct after shortlisting you on your entrance score. It covers current affairs, clarity on your own story—academics, work, achievements, hobbies—structured speaking practice and mock interviews. Most IIMs now use a WAT-PI format, so written ability practice is part of it too."},{"question":"How do I start GD PI preparation for MBA shortlists?","answer":"Ideally start before the shortlist arrives, because you usually get only three to six weeks between calls and final rounds. Map your one-page story, prepare standard answers (why MBA, gaps, low scores, career switch), follow current affairs daily, and practise speaking aloud—GD is a speaking test, not a knowledge test. Do at least three to five mock GDs and mock interviews with honest feedback before the real one."},{"question":"Is GD PI WAT preparation the same for every B-school?","answer":"No—the format differs by school. Older IIMs typically run WAT-PI, while Symbiosis runs GE-PIWAT with a group exercise, so GD PI preparation for SNAP means specifically practising group exercises. The core skills—structured thinking, current affairs and a clear personal story—stay the same; only the format changes, so tweak your mocks for each school's process."},{"question":"Is GD PI WAT preparation online really effective?","answer":"Yes, especially since final rounds themselves increasingly happen over video calls. Online preparation works when it includes live mock GDs on video, timed WAT writing practice and one-on-one mock interviews with detailed feedback, not just recorded lectures. Structured programmes help here—Hemant Tulsan's GD-PI course, for instance, has guided 500+ aspirants over three years."},{"question":"How do MBA students prepare for case competitions?","answer":"Start with your college's internal competitions to learn the format: a problem statement, a structured deck and a short pitch. Study winning decks to see how they frame the problem, build hypotheses and quantify recommendations, then practise solving past statements within a strict deadline. Consistent winners—like one MBA student with 14 national finals, 9 podiums and PPIs from Amazon, Salaryse and NHAI—treat it as a repeatable system of frameworks, research and clean storytelling rather than sudden brilliance."}]}}]] 22:null 26:[["$","title","0",{"children":"Case Competition Guidance & Deck Review with Hemant Tulsan"}],["$","meta","1",{"name":"description","content":"Case Competition Guidance & Deck Review with Hemant Tulsan · Get your case comps deck reviewed, tips on case competition · 1:1 Call · 60 mins · ₹599 · Topmate"}],["$","link","2",{"rel":"manifest","href":"/manifest.json","crossOrigin":"$undefined"}],["$","meta","3",{"name":"robots","content":"index, follow"}],["$","link","4",{"rel":"canonical","href":"https://topmate.io/hemant_tulsan/1588541"}],["$","meta","5",{"name":"yandex-verification","content":"0c572762b08c1459"}],["$","meta","6",{"name":"facebook-domain-verification","content":"xewq3sfwoskylhfigrhakv2hy7zemf"}],["$","meta","7",{"property":"og:title","content":"Case Competition Guidance & Deck Review with Hemant Tulsan"}],["$","meta","8",{"property":"og:description","content":"Case Competition Guidance & Deck Review with Hemant Tulsan · Get your case comps deck reviewed, tips on case competition · 1:1 Call · 60 mins · ₹599 · Topmate"}],["$","meta","9",{"property":"og:url","content":"https://topmate.io/hemant_tulsan/1588541"}],["$","meta","10",{"property":"og:image","content":"https://topmate.io/cdn-cgi/image/width=1600,fit=contain,quality=90/https://sharing-image-assets.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/imejis_output%2Funknown%2Fec22b6d6-336a-49c0-8f55-b13892f38b63.png?ogv=2"}],["$","meta","11",{"property":"og:type","content":"website"}],["$","meta","12",{"name":"twitter:card","content":"summary_large_image"}],["$","meta","13",{"name":"twitter:title","content":"Case Competition Guidance & Deck Review with Hemant Tulsan"}],["$","meta","14",{"name":"twitter:description","content":"Case Competition Guidance & Deck Review with Hemant Tulsan · Get your case comps deck reviewed, tips on case competition · 1:1 Call · 60 mins · ₹599 · Topmate"}],["$","meta","15",{"name":"twitter:image","content":"https://topmate.io/cdn-cgi/image/width=1600,fit=contain,quality=90/https://sharing-image-assets.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/imejis_output%2Funknown%2Fec22b6d6-336a-49c0-8f55-b13892f38b63.png?ogv=2"}],["$","link","16",{"rel":"shortcut icon","href":"/favicon.svg"}],["$","link","17",{"rel":"icon","href":"/favicon.svg","type":"image/svg+xml"}],["$","link","18",{"rel":"apple-touch-icon","href":"/favicon.svg"}],["$","$L33","19",{}]]
