How to Apply/Register for CAT 2012
Why to select early slot dates for CAT 2012
CAT is
the most important paper in MBA entrance
exams in India. CAT is the hope for
anyone who aspires to begin his corporate career. The importance of CAT exam cannot be quantified. I can
only measure the value of CAT through the level of competition and preparation
one does for CAT exam. Thus every internal and external factor which influences
the preparation or result of CAT is critical for every serious CAT aspirant.
Internal
factors for CAT preparation are those which are largely dependent upon you.
- Level of seriousness for CAT.
- Level of preparation for CAT.
- Time allotted towards CAT preparation.
- Judicious/Naive decisions about choosing books
and coaching for CAT after doing/not doing research about them.
- Emotions attached towards CAT exam.
External
factors are those which are not in your control.
- Particular situations/happenings.
- CAT exam pattern.
How to
Choose a CAT exam date slot
I would like to highlight the importance and advantages of
choosing an early CAT exam date. This is an internal factor determining your
success in CAT.
1. Date
and Slot of your choice
Early registration would guarantee an exam slot date of your choice.
All the slots are available and you can select it according to your preference.
\
2.
City of your choice
There are chances that if you do not fill the slot someone
else will. You may not get a slot in your own city. Then you will have to
travel. Travelling is to be avoided to further avoid fatigue before the CAT. So
go register yourself.
3.
Waiting for Form at Axis Bank
Once the CAT 2012 date comes closer the cues for CAT
forms/voucher at Axis bank can be sighted from outside the bank. Students
running in and around the bank for the CAT form can be seen. So try to avoid
that rush and get the voucher before that happens.
4. Focus
on CAT preparation
Once you are done with CAT registration you can set targets
and concentrate on CAT. Otherwise you will plan the date once you are confident
and at that moment you may not get your preferred day/slot and even center.
CAT Registration will begin on 30th July 2012. You
can buy forms from Axis bank branches from tomorrow. The last date for sale of vouchers
is 17th September 2012. The CAT application for IIMs is worth 1600
Rs.
