Undoubtedly, scoring a high percentile in CAT 2014 is the bare minimum requirement to remain motivated and hopeful of getting shortlisted by IIMs for second phase of admission 2015. But the thought that only high over all percentile score in CAT 2014 will suffice to get shortlisted for GDPI round is nothing more than living in a fools paradise.

With around more than half a dozen MBA entrance exams in the country, aspirants sometimes are grilled with various doubts and queries such as:

- Should I register for all the MBA exams?
- Do I have to take coaching for each MBA exam?
- Should I give online Exams or paper pencil test?
- Which exam to prepare first?

This and many more doubts linger in the minds of MBA aspirants preparing for MBA entrance exams.

And there are other kind of people like Ankit Saxena who believe that satisfaction is the roadblock to improvement. For him being at the top is the ultimate goal. This is the reason that inspite of appearing for CAT exam in the past he made sure that he will take admission only when he has achieved one of the highest percentiles.
