One Paper. Two different strategies: What’s your pick for IRMA 2013?
IRMA 2013 is less than 24 hours away and I know that most of you have already figured out your own strategy – this post is not an attempt to shake you up or to introduce you to anything new in this n-th hour. The idea is to re-assure you that the paper can be cracked by any strategy, as long as it is based on a true evaluation of your own strengths and weaknesses. In this post, I will give you two ways of cracking IRMA 2013: My Way and Nikunj Bhagat’s way. You have already read my way in a post that I had made a few days ago – I’m putting it down here again so that you can compare it with Nikunj’s strategy. Oh and incase you’re wondering who’s Nikunj then he’s a legendary CL mentor from the Kolkata team. A B.Com graduate from St.Xavier’s. he belongs to the IIM B gang like Satya and I. He’s been with CL for almost 12 years now and Kolkata students swear by his teaching methods. Like most people in Kolkata – he cannot live without cricket and movies. Cracking puzzles is one of his other passions, apart from CL ofcourse! After getting Gejo to help you guys out with RC topics, I have managed to get Nikunj onboard for IRMA and some insights on which B-Schools to...

Read MoreThe IRMA Theory: Getting ready in 10 days or less
The first in my series of ‘One down, four more to go’ exams is IRMA. I’ve always maintained that to defeat your enemy, you must fully know it first. Here’s a complete 101 to the exam – so even if you’re going in completely clueless, this should make you some sort of an expert on the paper yourself. After CAT the next big entrance test, IRMA, is scheduled for 11th November. The institute is top notch and was the first in India to launch MBA in Rural or Agri-Business. Unfortunately the institute attracts less than 15,000 applicants due to the tag of Rural Management. The small number of applicants though is good news for the aspirants as it increases the chances of success of those who have applied to IRMA. With around 10 days to go, let us have a good look at the paper pattern, identify the focus areas and work out our strategy for the paper. The Structure IRMA is a 120 minute test with 200 questions that are divided into four sections. Unlike CAT each question in IRMA has 5 choices with +1 for every correct answer and a -¼ for every incorrect answer. The paper is divided into 4 sections as given below: There are no sectional time limits and the students have the freedom to allocate time to the four sections as per their...
