LRDI was definitely not easier than last year.

You are right ! Never ever quit your job for cat exam . Then the pressure will be tremendous for you . Take a job, and do your preparation. Don't dropout your a year for CAT .
This exam's paper is tough day by day
😢.
Tnx sir

Dilr was different... Than regular at least in slot 1, varc easy to read by options are too close

[jishnusen]

How was DILR deemed easier than cat 22 here ? Even if all the sets were not high difficulty, the 40 mins constraint doesn't let you solve 2 full sets, as all of them were lengthy and data heavy.
I don't know if others feel the same way though.
Ps - I gave Cat 22 slot 3 also. It definitely was more balanced and easier. ( of course, my perspective here )

[sameermehendiratta]

DILR was easy but time consuming so practically people could not attempt more than 6-8 questions

[grindlewald]

I think this has something to do with 2hr pattern..if it's a 3 hr exam... questions can be set up with good variation in difficulty levels as they can set more questions per paper.I feel Examiners are not comfortable in giving easy questions in 2 hr paper with less number of questions as many could score them.

Sir slot 1 DILR was bad, lenghty sets with lot of info to digest, no typical DI sets no sitter set like previous years which could be solved in 10 mins, lots of problem in selection was observed in slot 1, after giving 30+ mocks ive had maybe 2-3 mocks only where I could not score more than 15, but in slot 1 im not crossing even 6 marks in DILR for sure

[xerxes]

1 question about number of diagonals in slot 3 quants directly came from 2iim mock 2. I posted it in wtsp group as well

[justinaaron]

Didn't knew IIM Lucknow had a beef with non engineers?
Pehle pata hota toh Exam ka form e nahi bharta.

[userb]

Was waiting for your take on the exam patiently, and not disappointed at all, thank you for sharing your views🙏

[kavyaagarwal]

Idk why it feels to the teachers dilr was easier it wasnt . Not one set was doable.

[kkavaradaguru]

This is a very convincing and brutally honest analysis.

Please people dont see any analysis about CAT 2023. I saw an analysis mentioning that the expected range for 99th percentile is 115-118. I suspect they added an extra “1” there but everything out there is nonsense. You all did good.

If you beleive in god, leave it to him. If you dont beleive in god, leave it in the hands of IIM L. Right now, nothing is in our hands.

[anvitagupta]

Thank you so much for this video, it's motivating and relieves a lot of pressure and self-doubt I had after the exam.

[kanikatutejaa]

Thankyou so much sir, the key take away which will stay with me is that one exam cannot define me.

[applesanish]

That cat shaped basket really god me. Transcendent.

[faisalahmed]

slot 3 was a nightmare, dilr was no way managable, set were very difficult given the time constrant, and if put in a wrong variable the whole set and time was wasted, quant left even the engineers paralysed, this is more of a test where they are looking only for highly intelligent people or maybe a scientist

[samarth]

Thankyou sir for the motivation. I totally broke down after giving this exam

[psiddartha]

I was researching about the expected cutt offs it was 39 for maths😢😢😢

[RahulJain-rvbp]

Everyone : quant was tough but need 14 correct questions for 99%ile, how is it tough then😂

[SurajKumar-vtit]

We can listen to you all day and still be wanting more😂
