Hello,
Hope your CAT exam went well and you get into a prestigious college.

Well, the results of CAT will be declared by the end of December or first week of January. Post which basis your percentile and the colleges to which you had applied, you will get calls for further rounds of GD/WAT-PI.
What I mean by call is a mail from the respective college to your registered email address or you can directly check whether you are shortlisted for further rounds or not on their official institute website by logging in with your CAT registration number or email address, whatever is asked.

You must however, now start preparing for GD/WAT-PI by starting to read newspapers, magazines and your subjects. You must have a basic knowledge of what's going around, be ready with your views on current affairs and be thorough with your curriculum subjects.

All the best!!
