Why most IIM bangalore UGAT aspirants struggle (and you don't have to)

Many students preparing for the IIM Bangalore UGAT are doing it in a less organised manner. They simply do not know what exactly they need to do. They often lack a proper strategy, a reliable mentor, relevant study material, or even appropriate classes.
