CAT is over rated and over hyped.
by Vikramjit singh on Sep 10, 2006 10:56 AM

The problem with CAT are listed below

1) It assumes that if you are good in analysis or quantitative you are a better manager.

2) CAT does a good job of eliminating large set of people but a poor job of selecting the right candidates.

3) The obsession with numbers doesn't necessarily translate into a successful businessman. Many marwaris and other business men are better managers than our CAT students.

4)you can take coaching for 6 months on the CAT and crack it with a good score. Inherently it is an exam that you can train for.

5) Most IIM grads are not smart but over-smart which effectively means that they have skewed personalities.
