Milestone 5 · ADMAT Prep
ADMAT Plan & Application Strategy — which exams, then getting every application in clean.
Two sessions, one page: which non-CAT exams to write and why, then getting every application in clean.
Chapter one · ADMATs
What ADMATs are.
The full toolkit of non-CAT management entrance exams included in your programme.
NMAT, SNAP, CET, CMAT, XAT, MICAT, MAT, IBSAT, ATMA, PGDBA and more. You pick a portfolio; mentor finalises Aug–Sep based on CAT trajectory and target schools.
3-minute essentials
- 104 full-length mocks across 11 exams.
- ~800 practice questions.
- 20 recorded Masterclasses, live workshops.
- Past papers with video solutions, the GK Zone.
Chapter two · portfolio
Building your portfolio.
Deciding which exams actually make sense for you.
Decide which exams make sense based on target schools, current CAT trajectory, and format differences (cut-offs, timing, question style vary). Mentor maps the ADMAT calendar against CAT prep so nothing collides, sets a realistic per-test target rather than a blanket one.
Chapter three · B-schools
Reading a B-school before you apply.
What to check beyond the brand name before you commit an application.
Four things to check beyond the brand name:
Want the four checks?
- Flagship vs additional programmes — confirm which one you’re actually applying to.
- Main vs other campuses — different placement records/cut-offs; check which campus a seat puts you on.
- Age of the programme — newer can be excellent, but placement history is thinner.
- Placements — look at spread and recruiter mix for your specialisation, not just the average package.
Chapter four · tracking
Tracking the application itself.
Every school checked individually — not once for all.
Per school: what’s submitted vs open; whether essays/SOPs are reviewed and differentiated (a copy-pasted SOP across five schools reads exactly like what it is); documents, recommendations, payments all in; what’s at risk of slipping. Positioning gets checked school by school, not once for all.
Before you go
What you now know.
What you now know
- Portfolio decision (Plan) comes before execution (Strategy) — don’t skip to applications without a mentor-checked shortlist.
- Every application gets checked individually, not as a batch — especially the SOP’s differentiation.
Common questions
FAQs
Do I have to write every ADMAT exam?
No — a portfolio based on target schools and trajectory, usually a handful.
CAT and ADMAT prep are colliding on the calendar — what do I do?
Bring it into the Plan session directly — that’s exactly what gets checked and planned around there.
Should my SOP be the same for every school?
No — differentiate each one for that school’s programme and your specific angle.
How many ADMAT exams should I be applying through?
Follows from the portfolio decision — Application Strategy executes on whatever that turned out to be.
