AboutExperience

About Arpit

I am a lawyer who graduated from NLU Lucknow. I cleared CAT in my first attempt as a fresher while juggling my final-year exams, navigating my prep through very different phases.

I've also been part of the Placement Team, so I understand the corporate side and what a candidate needs. Two mantras from my journey: “Motivation will fade, but discipline carries you through,” and do the heavy lifting early so the end is all mocks and mindset.

Coaching style

Flexible to what suits each candidate — from deep-diving individual questions to B-school specific strategy.

Key highlights

18+ min on LR set 2 before skipping — pacing is the blocker, not logic.
RC is solid; tighten answer elimination on close options.
QA is strong — refresh averages & alligation before next week.
Use a 3-column LR template to save 2–3 min per set.

Arpit's note

You're in a good spot. Focus this week on the 3-column LR drill — we'll review your timing data next Tuesday.

Selecting a passage and writing CAT-grade questions.

For the first time in 80 years, baby aspens are growing tall and healthy in Yellowstone National Park. Scientists have linked the trees' resurgence with the reintroduction of gray wolves, which are keeping Yellowstone's plant-eating elk in check. Gray wolves were once abundant here. But by the 1930s, the apex predators had been extirpated from the area, largely due to hunting and habitat loss.
