Come next year's and the degree graduates from the state can have an edge over their peers elsewhere in the country. In a unique initiative, IIM-K students have decided to help their less fortunate brethren to crack CAT.
Apart from sharing their success mantras and personally training them, CAT toppers from IIM-K will also provide test preparation material to aspirants. To start with, the students will hold a workshop for final year and pre-final year undergraduate students from across the state at the campus from November 9 to November 11 under the Shiksha initiative.
Convenor of Shiksha, Divya V told TOI that many students from the state, despite being very talented, lacked the exposure and access to targeted training programmes that make a huge difference in highly competitive exams like CAT, one of the toughest test in the country. The programme will also address the verbal ability constraints faced by many students.
"It is purely a student initiative and we intend to provide training to 130 students from across the state. Those who had scored high percentiles from among us will share tips and strategies. What worked for us will surely help them. What these students need is just a little push to and we intend to give them a helping hand to cross the CAT barrier," she added.
IIM-K students will conduct aptitude test and mock group discussions for degree students of Kerala. They have also roped in a leading training provider to provide free test preparation material and mock test series to selected students. IIM-K students, in association with the Social Service Group of the IIM-K, would also provide career counselling to students from government schools in and around Kozhikode.
