• The faculty members should strictly follow the sequence and the agenda of the sessions given in the session
plan.
• The faculty members must ensure that the students complete the pre-class and post-class work assigned for
every session religiously.
• All the sessions that include a test have two sheets – one for the fundamentals to be taught in that class and
another for the test. The latter must be distributed just before conducting the test.
• In Quantitative Aptitude, the faculty members should try to take examples mainly from the Class Exercise sheet
while explaining a particular topic.
• Students’ scores in the Test Gym are visible to faculty members in their Faculty Zone. Please keep track of how
many students in the batch are regularly taking these. Students should be encouraged to take more of these
tests.
• All the MBA Extended 2014 students should take the two D-CATs (Test IDs – 771253, 771581) the links of which
would be visible on SIS.

Please note:

The details of MBA Test Series, Revision sessions, Workshops, NON-CAT special sessions and PDP will be
communicated in due course.

CAT may become a perennial event very soon. If any changes in the Session Plan and Books/Material are
required, they would be incorporated at an appropriate time.
