Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

Hi

no other can decide what is good for you and what is not.
IAS and CAT both are reputed exams and provide good earning.
Its upto you where you want to go.
You can go for IAS if you want to go for administrative services
You can go for CAT if you want to enter business world.

Consider the working environment of both before going for any of them

All the best

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

Even though IAS looks to precious, it should be noted that there is lots of politics in govt. public sector. This is practical point. But in private sector even if you are manager there will be less respect in society as compared to IAS. So, is there any answer/solution on politics in IAS field? If not, should I go for IIM then?

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

I'm an IITian doing a dual degree course (B Tech M Tech). I read all the previous comments & also researched a bit. Basically, to sum it all up:-
CAT : Much greater pay and a higher standard of living.
IAS : Greater power, security, facilities.
So, choose according to your NEEDS!...

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

What if you were given options like MBA or MBBS? Which one you will go for?
It completely depends upon your skill and interest. I dont think that you always wanted to be an IAS officer. You are pursuing mechanical engineering and you must had a different goal before the idea of IAS came into your mind.
But its alright, As soon as you complete your graduation, you can write the civil service exam for IAS but do make sure what exactly you want to be. your decision must not be influenced by anyone else but should be based on your ablility, interest and most important, your ultimate goal.

Hi dear,
I think IAS is the best option. So if you are interested in IAS then first complete your Bachelors Degree only then you are eligible for IAS exams. So please go for only one
side either IAS or CAT. So please choose according to your choice and interest and
if you want to complete study material for IAS and CAT, then please visit this given

If your age is less than 30,....then give a sincere try to IAS at least once,....maybe it's power, authority which can fill that void which you feel is in your life,.....Luckily if you are selected in Civil Services, you will come to know whether its power, social recognition or monetary factors which are more important in your life,.....If you get fed up with Civil Services any time in your life,....you can switch over to private sector at any time in your life.

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

IAS Indian Administrative Service

CAT Common Admission Test

IAS is a civil service which is the cadre of selection in the third stage of CSE

this is completely different from CAT

if you have interest to do service for people and develop india with your hands then go with IAS

If you choose for IAS you should not care for Salary ..

because you'll get 100 times less when compared to CAT MBA

but you should don't care for Salary as the respect for an IAS officer can't be bought in the market for a million bucks.

so be with it..

i suggest you to continue with IAS if you have 21 years of age..

if you don't have the require age for IAS then go with MBA

and after taking your degree attempt IAS

all the very best

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

ACTUALLY I TOO HAVE A SIMILAR DILEMMA..... FIRST OF ALL ASK YOURSELF WHAT DO YOU SEE YOURSELF AS IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS?? IF YOU WANT RESPECT AND WANT TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY THEN IAS MAYBE YOUR IDEAL EXAM, MOREOVER WITH THE SIXTH PAY COMMISSION YOUR SALARY IS NOT SO LOW AS WAS THE CASE EARLIER. THE MOST CHERISHED PART ABOUT THIS CAREER IS TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RESPECT AND POWER.
CAT ON THE OTHER HAND IS ANOTHER MOST SOUGHT AFTER AND PURSUED EXAM. THE PACKAGE PAID BY MNCs ESPECIALLY IS AWESOME, BUT BESIDES EARNING MONEY ALL YOUR LIFE YOU DO WANT TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF BEFORE YOU BITE THE DUST.
WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS NOT TO OPT FOR EITHER ONE OF THESE SIMPLY, BUT SEE YOUR POINT OF INTEREST, YOUR PERSONALITY AND THEN WHOLE HEARTEDLY AND CONFIDENTLY PURSUE ONE WHICH SUITS YOU, AND THEN ONCE YOU GO FOR IT THEN THERE'S NO TURNING BACK...
I MYSELF AM SITTING FOR THE CAT 2011 (WHICH WILL BE MY FINAL YEAR AS A U.G. STUDENT), NOT FOR THE SAKE OF DOING AN MBA BUT FOR PRACTISING MY APPTITUDE SECTION(i.e. CSAT) FOR MY IAS. ALL THE VERY BEST!!! IT'S YOUR GO NOW.....

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

You are only in second year now. There are lots of time for you to prepare for IAS or CAT. I think it will be better for you if you prepare for CAT. Because there is so much compettion in IAS. You need to give much much time for preparation of IAS. If you are a hard-working student, if you are confidence enough then you can go for IAS otherwise go for CAT.

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

dear friend,

as you are studying mechanical engineering in your B.tech. so for you it will be easy for you to go for IAS

as in IAS exam there is a subject of mechanical engineering.so you can perform better.

but you are free to choose any subjects.

for CAT you have to prepare for aptitude tests and analytical reasoning which is out of syllabus of your B.tech. course.

so IAS will be better choice.

all the best.

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

dear friend
i think it totally depend upon u mentality. if u r interested to go in management & business sector then u must choose MBA.In MBA u get the subjects r
1.financial management.
2.business & accounting.
3.human resourse & devlopment management
4.marketing manage ment.
u choose any one of the above subject.
and i think u get good post plus good salary 's job.
bt if u r not interested to go in management sector then u choose IAS.that also very reputed job.
so take decission & make ur bright future.
good luck.

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

friend

According to me , firstly you should concentrate on your study of B.Tech .

My friend ,preparation of either CAT or IAS depend on your choice as both are
very prestigious exam and in future you will be eligible for both exam.

If you will get admitted in IIM through CAT you will placed in a very
prestigious MNC on highest package .So you should go for CAT



Best of luck

Both exam IAS & CAT are the best, But in both

IAS is best. Because IAS is the top most prestegious

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

in simple..IAS-service oriented,less salary.it is public related job..if you wany earn more better pot cat..if you love serving..it's the most valuable job-IAS...but it not so easy...you must do so much of hard work for.for that you must have minimum qualification is degree(graduation).it's an open competition.both are tough..you must keep effort any of those..but,comparatively cat is easy for engineering students..as the questions will somewhat tough and IAS is competitive one.you can good rank..but,IAS will be to the persons who better that is the rank must be in tens and hundreds.where as in CAT ...from the first step itself filteration starts for skilled pupil..so,i better you choose the whether service or money

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

You have to start as a beginner in both. Both require lots of hard work. By going fir IAS you will get higher official post in govt. whereas by opting for CAT you could join any of the top Mn Cs of the country or world.Also if you have enough resources you can easily opt for CAT,

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

IAS (Indian Administrative Services) can lead to the different fields of civil services. CAT - Common Admission Test is the Management Entrance Tests in India that is conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) for admission to MBA. One needs to identify his interests and choose IAS or CAT that is best suited to him.

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

i do not agree with you...there is of competition for CAT...but...the main thing that...CAT-here the core syllabus for writing is so tough...but the competition will be tough...the interviewers who selects the incapable candidates in the first round...like that..in the same way...here only...capability of the student in cat..for example,if there are 10 valuable students in 11...they will select.....for the adminission...but you need to have job experience also...but it is an easy thing...but..if you entered in top b-school of managment...you can assure that you will have a gold future literally..high remuneration will be paid...but in IAS..it is not like that...THE COMPETITION..WE CAN GET GOOD...ACCORDIN TO THE RANKS IN THE JOBS...AND THE PAY CANT BE EXPECTED MORE....IT IS TOTALLY SERVICE ORIENTED

Re: IAS or CAT, which exam to prepare?

Dear Friend
CAt stands for Common Aptitude Test and is basically for the management degree whereas
IAS stands for Indian Administrative Services and is basically for the managing the bureaucracy of both the Union Government (Central Government) and the state governments, with its officers holding strategic posts across the country.

Now it is totally your choice whether you are interested in the field of management or you want to go in the field of bureaucracy.Think with cool mind and take the decision after all it is your future.

All the best....
