    • Reading the newspaper on a regular basis does prove vital while attempting the General Awareness section and Norman Lewis can be of great help for improving your vocabulary.

    Preparation Strategies

    CMAT 2023 Preparation Strategy and Tips

    • Aim High: Keep your priorities rigid and aim for the top MBA institutes like JBIMS, Goa Institute of Management, KJ SIMSR, Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai/Gurgaon, PUMBA Pune, GIM Goa, IFMR Chennai, IMT Nagpur among others so that you dedicate yourself to put in your apex efforts while preparing for them.
    • Practice Previous Papers: Time is a crucial factor while taking up any competitive exam so attempt previous year CMAT papers and take up mock tests frequently to determine how much time you consume while attempting a paper and what aspects of the exam you need to work upon.
    • Design a Schedule: Covering the complete syllabus for CMAT with limited time can be a challenging task. Design a bespoke study schedule and ensure that each of the four sections of the CMAT paper are appropriately covered and no aspect of syllabus is left out. This would prevent any haste during the final days before the examination.
    • Avoid Referring Too Many Books: Nowadays, there are hundreds of books that claim to have the best curriculum suited for the preparation of CMAT. But referring to all of them would just create a farrago of doubts and ambiguity in your minds so choose your reference books wisely and one or two are sufficient. But you must ensure that the books you choose have all the necessary knowledge required for an exceling CMAT preparation.
    • Seek Toppers Advice: Various interviews are published every year acknowledging the toppers of CMAT for each session. Read them and track their valuable advice on how they prepared for the exam and the strategies followed by them.
    • Coaching Institute: Although it is not necessary to opt for a coaching institute while preparing for CMAT exam as most aspirants believe self-study in a well-planned manner is enough to excel in this examination. But, coaching institutes usually have a promising experience in getting an aspirant prepared for competitive examinations in a time-bound manner. So while choosing a coaching institute, keep the following points in mind:
    • Institute’s previous track records.
    • Curriculum followed by the institute.
    • Faculty of the institute.
    • Time-slots available as per your requirements.
    • Modes of education provided (Online & Offline)
