JBIMS has a CET cutoff as high as 99.99 because it’s a direct ticket to the corporate world. You don’t have to go through GD-PI or any profile checks. This may sound easy but here is the tricky part. Around 100k students sit for the exam every year and the available seats are only 120. This results in high competition and thereby higher cutoff.

My friend was lucky enough to get through the tough procedure and shared his strategy. He divided his entire time for preparation into 3 stages.

Planning stage

• During this stage you have to devise a massive plan as to where to begin and how to divide your syllabus. 
• Assign yourself monthly targets and get to the bottom of the syllabus and become well-versed in every topic. 
• Solve at least 40 questions from each topic and in this stage focus on accuracy rather than speed. This stage should employ 30% of your total preparation time.

Testing stage

• This stage is where you evaluate the preparation you have done so far. As you have acquired enough knowledge on various topics it’s time you test it. This can be done by attempting mocks regularly at least twice a week. 
• Analyze every mock paper to look for your mistakes. You need to focus on accuracy with speed. The more you practice, the more you get confident, and the less time you'll take to solve. 
• Keep giving mocks until you are able to score more than 120 in at least 3 mock papers. This phase should take about 40% of your total preparation period.

Polishing stage

There is still some polishing left so get down for last-minute revisions and give atleast 5 mocks every week. Increase your efficiency in your weaker areas and speed in the stronger ones. With this as the final strategy give 5 final mocks.

The elaborate thoroughness and consistency adopted while preparing will ensure that you are confident in the D-Day and don’t flunk the exam. At any given point in your preparation, you need to have maximum motivation, consistency, and determination. Only then will you be able to sail the boat.
