CAT 2006 is over. After all the hard work many of you have put in, it's time to relax.
But you still can't escape those niggling worries: 'With my score, which institute should I apply to?', 'Will I get a call from the IIMs?,' 'What will be the percentile for my score?,' etc.
Naveen Saraf, CAT trainer from IMS Learning Resources, answered these and other queries in a chat on November 19.
