The Common Admission Test (CAT) conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) is the most ridiculous entrance test in the world, noted management guru and honorary dean, Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM), Arindam Chaudhuri said here.
“The CAT entrance is skewed as it gives an undue edge to the engineering graduates. CAT places a lot of emphasis on IQ whereas in actual practice it is EQ (emotional quotient) which makes a successful manager”, he said.
The management guru was addressing the MBA students and the aspiring MBAs in a seminar on 'See the World through a keyhole or Open the World with an MBA’. Chaudhuri took a dig at the prevailing education system in India which emphasized on rote learning and completion of the syllabus.
U don't take decisions solely on ur personal judgement...it has to be taken considering all the possibilities in mind..which requires IQ to comprehend...just because Arindam Choudhary has successfully set one theory doesn't give him right to question something like CAT...
who is Arindam Chaudhary to comment on CAT? Most of the entrance exams in India are elimination processes. It's just a myth that CAT gives undue advantage to Engineering graduates. Math questions in CAT are based on class 10th syllabus. Aren't the managers supposed to be good in class 10th maths?
