What Our CAT 2024 Students Say About Us...

Bidhushi Roy

Bidhushi Roy

Convert - IIM Bangalore

 

 My name is Bidushi Roy. I scored a 99.97 percentile in CAT 2024 and received calls from all the BLACKI colleges, as well as ISB - PGPYL and FMS Delhi. I ended up converting most of my calls, and finally, I'm going to IIM Bangalore.
One of the major hurdles I faced was my struggle with math, as I hadn’t practiced it since graduating from school. I had to catch up with my peers over that long gap. What I found particularly helpful with CL was the classroom coaching, which divided every subject into manageable modules for practice and then went on to tests, including sectional tests, topic tests, and ultimately full-length mocks.
My key advice for anyone who is preparing is to give as many mocks as possible because that is what will help you on the day of the exam. No matter whether the exam is harder or easier than the mocks that you gave, just having that muscle memory of taking the test is something that will help you a lot.

Amanjot Kaur Shah

Amanjot Kaur Shah

Convert - IIM Bangalore

 

 My name is Amanjot Kaur Shah. I got a 99.47 percentile in CAT 2024, and I had calls from all IIMs except IIM Ahmedabad. I am really happy and proud of this achievement, and Career Launcher has been absolutely pivotal in this journey. I took the comprehensive test series from Career Launcher and completed exactly 35 mocks.
In addition to that, I also took around 20 sectionals because I was focusing on DLR, which was an area I needed to work on. I found Career Launcher extremely helpful in this regard as well. They constantly improve their content, and even if the patterns change, they adapt and provide us with more mocks. So it was very helpful.
My advice is to keep taking mocks every week, and as the exam date approaches, increase the number of mocks you take. This will help you become better prepared for the future.

Harshit Walia

Harshit Walia

Convert - IIM Ahmedabad

 

 My name is Harshad Walia. I am a computer science graduate from Delhi Technological University, and I scored a 99.49 percentile in CAT 2024. I converted IIM Ahmedabad.
The biggest hurdle in my preparation journey was the VARC section. To tackle this, I regularly practiced VARC, solving at least four passages per day from mid-August onwards. DILR and QUANT were my strongest sections because I am an engineer. I recommend starting your preparation early; begin writing mocks from day one to identify your weaknesses and then work on those areas. It's essential to clear the cut-off for all three sections instead of just focusing on the ones you're already good at.
Career Launcher played a significant role in helping me get into IIM Ahmedabad, which is my dream college, so I am extremely thankful to them for making my B-school dream come true.

Priya Patel

Priya Patel

Convert - KJ Somaiya

 

 My name is Priyal Patel, and I joined Career Launcher last year in June. My journey here has been fantastic. The best thing about Career Launcher was their mocks; the teachers were excellent and helped me prepare for interviews, but the mocks were truly the highlight for me—they were exactly at CAT level. Overall, it was a great experience, and Career Launcher helped me immensely.
I converted offers from Fore School, Great Lakes Gurgaon and IMT Hyderabad, and I finalized my admission at KJ Somaiya. I was in the offline program, which included classes four to five days a week, covering everything thoroughly. The teachers were incredibly nice and helpful, and they were always available to answer questions, even after class. If you had any doubts from the mocks, they were ready and open to help.
I encourage you not to question yourself or your decisions during your journey; it’s totally worth it. Give your 100%, stay consistent, and you will achieve your goals.
