CMAT 2020

CMAT 2020 is a golden opportunity for all the students who have been planning to join middle-level management colleges in India. The exam will be conducted on 28 January 2020. National Testing Agency is going to conduct this exam. The exam will be of 180 minutes carrying 25 questions from 4 sections i.e. Quantitative Aptitude & DI, Logical Reasoning, Verbal Ability & General Awareness. Each correct answer will fetch +4 marks while a wrong answer will be penalized with -1 mark.

For Quantitative Aptitude a candidate will be tested on Arithmetic, Number System, Algebra, Geometry & Modern Maths, though the highest weightage will be given to Percentage, “Profit, loss &  Discount”, “Times, Speed & Distance”. Mensuration can be deciding factor. Along this there are 2 to 3 sets expected in Data Interpretation.

Logical Reasoning will be of moderate level consisting of Sitting Arrangement, Blood Relation, Series, Analogy, Directions, Assertion & Conclusion. Along with these topics, there can be few questions from non-verbal reasoning as well.

General Knowledge will cover most of the questions from last one-year current affairs, like polity, games, books & authors, Government projects, Fiscal & Monetary policy. Though it is expected that few questions will be asked from Static GK as well as History, Geography & Law based questions.

English sections will have maximum questions from Reading Comprehension. RC questions are usually direct but 2 to 3 questions can be inference based like CAT 2019 exam. There will be few direct questions like Antonym & Synonym; Grammar-based questions & odd one out expected on 28 January 2020.

As the duration of the exam is for 3 hours so students are expected to get at least 60% of the questions correct from all the sections, though colleges under this examination are not looking into section-wise cut-offs it is expected from a student to get at least 40% score in each section so that it would be easy for a student to justify his score during the Personal Interview.

We are soon going to publish B-School ranking with the detailed analysis of the colleges under CMAT 2020.

All the very best for your preparation. Keep tracking our blogs for the latest updates.

Schedule from 21 December 2019.

*A journey without path*

Seem ambiguous, but not unfamiliar, if we talk to those who have great dreams of careers, but loses the sight to get all dots aligned. 

Creating those dots visible and making one to walk on that is what a mentor/counselor has been striving. 

A path that leads to a destination of life is incomplete without a journey covered from one dot to another.

So what is specific in the journey is to reach at the destination by minimizing the number of dots to walk over the course of time to complete the dream. 

Here come the interest and focus, which not only helps to minimize the dots and also makes it visible far from the sight. 

So the journey without a path, it is futile if dots are not visible.. So work out on your interest and be focused to make it visible.. So that you reach at your destination finally... 

In an era when thousands of destinations are available to reach, my interest is a matter of my choice of life, I dreamt of. 

You should believe in your instincts, that never lie, read it and get help to know about your destination and work hard to find the mentor/ counselor who can help you to find the minimum dots on the path to make you complete the journey and reach at the destination. 

But the irony is No destination is final.. it's an endless journey from one dot to another, from one path to another, and from one destination to another.. Mentors are always needed... Better if you get one... INSIDE in you.

India ; a mid of National Register of Citizens and Citizenship Amendment Act

India ; a mid of National Register of Citizens and Citizenship Amendment Act 

"I am a citizen, not of Athens or Greece, but of the world", wonderful line quoted by Socrates, which shows his intellectual thoughts. Citizenship is not just the status of being a citizen of a concerned state but a feeling that says '' I belong to this country and that paves the way of nationalism''. The citizenship of India is enshrined from Article 4 to Article 11, in part II of the Constitution of India, these articles distinguish an Indian citizen from the rest of people living in India. As per Citizenship provisions Constitution of India did not codify permanent laws for citizenship and put this onus on parliament. Using the powers of article 10 and 11, the the parliament enacted Citizenship Act 1955 which has been amended from time to time. This act mentions five ways in which a person may be Indian citizen viz. by birth, by descent, by registration, by naturalization and by incorporation a new territory by the Government of India. The Citizenship Act envisages three situations under which a citizen of India may lose his Indian nationality namely a) Renunciation b) Termination and c) Deprivation. Why citizenship’s so Important? Because every fundamental right, Fundamental duty, Legal right, government job, government education institution, even the government subsidies given to the below poverty line people, everything depends on the status of Citizenship. Hence Citizenship plays a very important role in making of a standard life of a person living in any country.

Nowadays, The question of citizenship has been echoing in India since National Register Citizens-(NRC) prepared in state of Assam and recently passed the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 which to provide Indian citizenship to the illegal migrants, who are from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan and are Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians. If talk about, National Register of Citizens is a record of names of all genuine citizens of India in the state of Assam. It was first prepared after the 1951 Census of India. The purpose of NRC is to identify illegal immigrants who migrated to India on or after 24 March 1971 and to verify the ‘D-voters’ who have applied for inclusion of their names in the NRC. Let me put these two on the basis of Merit and Demerit.

Merit:

·       a) India has already become a resource-scarce country, unable to deliver the basic necessities to the people of India, and a large number of additional immigrants will further worsen the conditions. The efficient NRC will help us in identifying the illegal immigrants and some steps can be taken for their deportation.

·       b) Curbing their voting rights can be beneficial to us. As it will avoid the illegal immigrants from swinging elections in favour of those who promise them legitimacy.

·    c)Will send a strong message that illegal immigrants are not welcome here.

Demerit:

·       a) Increased feeling of alienation in the Muslims and animosity in orthodox Hindus, leading to communal unrest which is already on the rise since the BJP came to power.

·        b) The government is ready to exempt illegal Hindu immigrants, leading to unequal treatment.

·        c) If this continues India will soon lose its credibility on the international forum while voicing against China and Pakistan as both the countries follow the same ideology of exploitation and polarization of minorities and India will soon join their league.

·        With the faltering mechanism, these already poor and helpless genuine Indians will lose their right to work, to healthcare and education, and housing.

The world is already viewing this step as against the Muslims and government’s Citizenship Amendment Bill guarantees citizenship to illegal migrants from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh who are Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain or Parsi but excludes those who are Muslim, will further reinforce their beliefs. Thus, making India a very different country than what it and ideologies were.
