CAT Result 2017 topper: The much awaited, Common Admission Test (CAT) 2017 exam results were decalred earlier today by the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Lucknow at iimcat.ac.in. While over 2 lakh people this year appeared for the exam, 20 managed to secure a perfect 100 percentile score. Interestingly, a Mumbai teacher was among the top 20 candidates who secured a 100 percentile, but not for the first or secod time but for the forth time! Yes, you read that right. While many dread the fact that they have to appear for CAT, the most feared of entrance exam in India, this teacher from Mumbai has not only appeared for the test before but has secured 100 percentile AGAIN and AGAIN!
Reportedly, among the top 20 candidates, there are only 2 girls and three non engineers were secured 100 percentille. So it can be rightfully said that like last year, this year also engineers continue to dominate the top managment exam results.
Patrick D’Souza, a 41-year-old teacher wh hails from Mumbai is the one who has managed to secure a perfect 100 percentile in CAT for the forth time. According to an Indian Express report, DSouza for the past 13 years has been coaching students to crack management exams in Mumbai. He himself is a student of the NIT Allahabad from where he completed his studies back in 1997. The 41-year-old teacher has appeared for the CAT exam over 14 times and has scored a perfect 100 percentile four times. He completed his BTech (Mechanical). While talking about the results, he was quoted saying, “I appeared for CAT in 2000 and could not score well. Later, cracked MHT-CET and then took admission in Jamnalal Bajaj Institute Of Management Studies to complete MBA.”
He added, “I didn’t apply for a faculty position in the government or private colleges because the knowledge imparted there is technical. However, here the focus is logic and aptitude. We groom students to understand and grasp their subjects well.” Patrick worked in the corporate world for four years after which he went on to open an academy to teach students.
