Cracking the CAT isn’t just about formulas and shortcuts. It’s about believing you belong at the IIMs.
At OpenGrad, you don’t just get classes. You get mentors who were once in your shoes - small-town students, first-gen learners, under-resourced dreamers, who are now at India’s best B-schools.
Not “faculty,” but students from IIMs, XLRI, FMS who know exactly how it feels to sit where you are



Impact That Inspires
Girls in my family are rarely encouraged to study beyond school, and the
pressure to stop and get married was constant. But I wanted more.
Through OpenGrad Foundation, I first learned about MBA and the IIMs.
That gave me hope that this dream was possible. The mentors stood by
me, guided me, and believed in me when I doubted myself.
Even after failing once, I refused to settle for less. Today, as a student at IIM Kashipur, I know I’ve broken barriers. For me, this is proof that with the right support, girls like me can dream and achieve big.”
