Can I crack CAT while studying in IIM Raipur?

The one-liner answer to your question is - Yes you can crack CAT while studying full-time at IIM Raipur but you should not. This is because it entirely depends on your motivation and dedication. Without that, you won’t be able to prepare for CAT well and even end up affecting your PGP score. 

I know a person who was able to ace this. He prepared for CAT relentlessly alongside pursuing PGP. He worked day and night, sacrificed his sleep, and was able to get into IIM Kozhikode. But what you need to understand from this is that it was a very uncommon and rare situation. Other students of the same batch tried the same but one was able to crack CAT.

It all comes down to how serious you are about joining a better IIM. If you are confident enough to ace the CAT and not let its preparation affect your PGP scores, then we’ll do well. Go for it!
