Pratham Shah, CAT 2022 of Ahmedabad, wants to advance his legal career. Despite being overburdened with the challenging fifth year of his BA.LLB, Pratham made the decision to enrol in CAT before his final semester to gain a better understanding of the corporate world. The aspiring business lawyer achieved a staggering 99.99% percentile on the CAT 2022.
“Balancing law and CAT is not as tough as it sounds,” said Pratham, who took eleven months to successfully pass the national aptitude test on his first try. However, the Quantitative Aptitude Section remained his greatest demon.
“It had been six years since I had even seen Math. It took constant practise and countless mock tests at my coaching class to get through QA,” said Pratham, a student of IMS Ahmedabad.
The qualifier didn’t put the book down even though college exams were coming up, which was a key component of preparation for this ace. “Whenever law school got demanding, I did not put breaks on my CAT preparation. I read enough novels and newspapers to keep in touch with the CAT syllabus. This habit sustained me through my entire CAT preparation journey,” said the qualifier, who hopes to find his academic niche at IIM Ahmedabad.
