Reservation helps in CAT and IIM admissions, but many students misunderstand where it helps the most.
Open category is open for everyone.
NC-OBC, EWS, SC, ST candidates can also compete for open seats if their merit is high enough.
But once you enter the waitlist, movement usually happens category-wise.
NC-OBC waitlist moves against NC-OBC seats.
EWS waitlist moves against EWS seats.
SC/ST waitlist moves against SC/ST seats.
So don’t target waitlist.
Target the first merit list.
Reservation supports you.
Preparation converts you.
Want to know your realistic IIM call chances based on your category, academics, profile and CAT score?
Use AzuCATion Profile Mapper.
CAT ke saath bhi, CAT ke baad bhi, Think CAT, Think AzuCATion.
