What actually is AIMA all about???

Today amid all the transitions, there is one Indian body that’s helping the Indian managers to make the most of the new opportunities. One body that’s assimilating the changed global perspective and equipping the Indian managers for it. One body that’s ready for tomorrow is All India Management Association (AIMA).

CAT 2007

If CAT features in your to do list for 2007 and leaves you clueless with its famed unpredictability you are on the right track. Everybody’s CAT journey starts with the same sentiment. Let me first formally introduce the CAT to you. Once you understand the nature of this test, you will also know how to approach it.

CAT, like several others must have told you is one of the most competitive exams. Also, it is the most unpredictable of all the tests. Formula work and rote learning don’t help to a greater extent when you are dealing with something like the CAT. This makes the test preparation interesting. CAT challenges your aptitude. And, there is no better motivation than a challenge.

If there is something typically CAT-like, it is only the ever-changing test structure. Consequently, you need to go beyond the mere understanding of concepts and be well versed with the application of concepts as well. CAT questions are like the real life scenarios where you are required to interlink two seemingly unrelated concepts and crack the problem.

Complex it may seem to you, but is not unachievable when you prepare for CAT with ICAP. ICAP stands for Interlinked Concepts and Application based Pedagogy; is specially designed by IMS to help CAT aspirants. ICAP uses caselets to replicate real life problem situations and helps you with not just the theoretical knowledge of the concepts but also their application in varied problem situations. This case study based methodology ensures that you are equipped to take the changing CAT.
