It's absolutely feasible to pursue an M.Com while preparing for the CAT. Many students successfully manage both. However, the decision depends on several factors:

Factors to Consider:

  • Time Management: Evaluate your ability to balance coursework, assignments, and CAT preparation.
  • Academic Performance: Ensure you can maintain good grades in M.Com while dedicating sufficient time to CAT.
  • CAT Preparation Intensity: Assess the level of preparation required based on your target colleges and current knowledge.
  • Career Goals: Consider if an M.Com degree aligns with your long-term career aspirations.

Potential Benefits of Completing M.Com First:

  • Stronger Academic Profile: A good M.Com score can enhance your overall profile.
  • Specialized Knowledge: The M.Com curriculum might provide relevant knowledge for certain CAT sections.
  • Work Experience: If you plan to work after M.Com, it can add valuable work experience before the MBA.

Decision Making:

Ultimately, the choice depends on your personal circumstances and priorities. If you're confident in managing both, going ahead with M.Com while preparing for CAT can be a strategic move. However, if you feel overwhelmed or believe it might impact your CAT performance significantly, consider deferring admission.

Remember: Your profile is decent, but CAT scores will play a crucial role in securing admissions to top MBA programs. Dedicate ample time to CAT preparation, regardless of your decision.

hope this helps you!!
