Taking the CAT exam can be mentally and physically taxing. After the exam, take some time to relax and recharge. Engage in activities that help you unwind and relieve stress.
Reflect on your performance in the exam. Think about which sections you felt confident in and which ones were more challenging. This self-assessment will help you understand your strengths and weaknesses.
If you haven't already, research the MBA programs and business schools you're interested in. Understand their admission criteria, application deadlines, and other relevant details.
If you plan to apply to other MBA entrance exams (such as XAT, SNAP, NMAT, etc.), continue your preparation for those exams. Each exam may have a different format and syllabus, so make sure you're familiar with the specifics of each.
Begin working on your application materials, including your resume, statement of purpose (SOP), letters of recommendation, and essays.
Look into financial aid options, scholarships, and assistantships offered by the B-schools you're interested in. Understand the application process and deadlines for these opportunities.
Keep an eye on the official CAT website and your registered email for updates regarding your exam scores and percentile. CAT scores are usually released a few weeks after the exam.
As B-schools release their shortlists for the next rounds of the admission process, stay informed about the status of your application. Be prepared to provide any additional documents or information they may require.
