Career Launcher’s CAT Coaching Programs

The purpose of the Common Admission Test or CAT exam is to evaluate aspirants' business acumen, aptitude skills, and ability to handle pressure. It is a computer-based test held annually in November. The exam includes questions primarily on Quantitative Ability (QA), Verbal Ability (VA), Reading Comprehension (RC), Data Interpretation (DI), and Logical Reasoning (LR).

The answer varies for every aspirant, as each one has a unique preparation journey. While self-study can be effective, CAT coaching helps build discipline and provides guided mentorship and detailed expert based mock analysis to keep students consistently on track.

Career Launcher offers various programs for CAT and other MBA entrance exam preparation and is known as the pioneer in online as well as classroom coaching, with over 100 centers across India. Our CAT online coaching is starting from just Rs 19,799 and CAT test series begins at just Rs 99 for single mocks and Rs 2199 for daily dose tests.

However, fee waivers are always available for both long-term and short-term courses, as provided in all the best coaching for CAT.

Generally, the duration of CAT coaching offered by premier institutes should be anywhere between 10 to 12 months, depending on when you wish to start preparing for the upcoming CAT or any other MBA entrance exam. The preparation for CAT can be done through different types of courses, such as classroom coaching, online classes, or pre-recorded sessions.

There is no designated time period to join CAT coaching; it depends on the caliber of the candidate and how much time they need to grasp the basics & start practising mocks. Ideally, one should start preparing for CAT 9 to 12 months before the exam if they are a beginner. However, for those with some prior knowledge, 5 to 6 months is usually sufficient to prepare effectively and crack CAT.

6-7 months of preparation is enough for your CAT preparation, however it must be consistent, dedicated and useful. Here are a few steps to help fuel your 6 months CAT preparation plan:

• Get a strong grip on the Quantitative topics; solve all of your CL Funda books within 30-50 days.
• As a beginner, make it a habit of solving a minimum of 2 RC questions a day. You can gradually increase the number of questions over time.
• Solve LR and DI on a regular basis. If it’s your first time preparing for CAT, prepare question-type-wise. Pick out the topics in which you are comfortable and then move out to the topics you are weak in. 
• Make sure to analyse your mocks in detail because without analysis, you will not be able to review your speed, accuracy, topic strengths and which strategy worked for you.

No, CAT is not necessary for MBA, While CAT is necessary for IIMs and other premier B-Schools, it is not the only entrance exam for securing admission to a B-school. Apart from CAT, some of the other MBA entrance exams include:

• Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT)
• Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP)
• Narsee Monjee Aptitude Test (NMAT)
• Common Management Admission Test (CMAT)

In addition to these, there are many regional and state-level exams, such as MAH MBA CET that you may consider taking to secure admissions to the top B-schools across the country.
