2019 topper Rishi Mittal on CAT
Mumbai’s Rishi Mittal, a final year BTech civil engineering student from the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Surat is among the 10 candidates — all male engineers — to have obtained a 100-percentile score in Common Aptitude Test (CAT) 2019. He is also among the two NIT students to get a perfect score in the nationwide exam, which over two lakh candidates appeared for.For Mittal, who topped the exam in his first attempt, CAT 2019 was easy. Son of a Mumbai-based financial consultant, Mittal draws his inspiration from his father and was always clear of his goals. “I joined civil engineering because I found it a comfortable subject to tackle. I also like to know the science behind things we see around us,” he said.
On his preparation strategy, Mittal remarks, “Honest, consistent and determined efforts along with discipline are enough to crack any exam.” He devoted at least one hour early in the morning and 3-4 hours during the day to his preparation. “Since I knew that I wanted to opt for management, I devoted time to studies daily and devised a timetable around my classes. During winter and summer breaks, I would study 7-8 hours a day,” he shared.
“CAT is an easy exam, one can crack it if they are honest in their preparation. Study materials are important to get a basic understanding of concepts. Thereafter, it is all about preparing your own strategy and attempting as many mock test papers as you can and analysing them. I worked hard on my weak points but also ensured that I do not falter a bit in my strong areas, which is what I believe helped me attain 100 percentile,” he commented.
