Goes a famous saying that success does not stay away for long if the path of hard work is chosen. The successful CAT 2009 candidates are true examples of this. There are many who have come out with flying colours and have shown to the world that success comes in the bag of only those who work hard with patience. The CAT 2009 toppers achieved success by ignoring the hurdles provided by Prometric, the test executing agency.

We at MBAUniverse.com are providing you the opportunity to meet the CAT 2009 toppers. Today we present to exclusive interview with Anshul Khurana, who has scored 98.72 percentile in CAT 2009.

Anshul is a student of B.E (IT) at Punjab Engineering College. Owing to his father’s transferable job he has travelled and studied in various schools all over India. He cleared his board exams from City Montessori School, Lucknow.

Excerpts from the exclusive interview:

Q: What is your percentile in CAT 2009?

A: I have obtained 98.72 percentile in CAT 2009.

Q: Which are the institutes you have received GD & PI calls from?

A: Till now I have received GD & PI calls from IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta. I am hopeful about getting calls from the other top MBA institutes as well.

Q: In which MBA test prep institute did you go? How did that help you?

A: I went to Bulls Eye, Chandigarh. The package and study material provided by them was of great help. I also owe due credit to the faculty members of Bulls Eye who have guided me through the path where success was awaiting.

Q: How did you prepare for the CAT exam?

A: Apart from referring to the study materials given to me by my MBA test prep institute Bulls Eye, I had also referred to Arun Sharma’s guide for CAT. I took a lot of mock tests as well.

Q: What is your strategy for cracking the GD & PI rounds?

A: For cracking the GD & PI rounds, the best strategy is to be aware of the current affairs that are taking place around the world. Being calm, patient and confident are my keys. I would also like to say this to my fellow GD & PI candidates that there is no need to panic and just relax. If we can work so hard to reach here, rest is just a trifle thing. 

Q: What would you like to suggest the candidates who are going to take CAT 2010?

A: All I want to say to the CAT 2010 takers is that they should practice hard and take as much mock tests as they can.
