ShareMumbai: A motley group of students studying in Indian Institute of Management (IIM)-Kozhikode are lending a helping hand to the CAT aspirants studying for their test in November.
More than 15 students from IIM-Kozhikode, who have been there and done that, are running the CAT Helpine since September on PaGalGuY.com, the MBA resource website for B School students and aspirants.
With the CAT exam going online for the first time ever this year, over 400 anxious aspirants have sought their help through the online helpline by asking questions ranging from weakness in preparation to last minute tips and more. "We were approached by a few students of the IIM-Kozhikode who wanted to help solve doubts of aspirants through our website. It was a goodwill gesture and they wanted to share information from their own experience," said Apurv Pundit, editor, PaGalGuY.com.
The initiative was started last year. However, since it was launched in the end of October, it did not have a great impact, said K Harshad, an IIM-K student. "This year, since we started three months in advance, we hope that we can contribute in a larger way to the community," he added.
The aspirants who will be the first ones to attempt the online format of the toughest test are lapping up the advices.
