    From my side, It is a yes.Candidate who is preparing for CAT exam are prepared for bank exams also but the reverse is not true.
    The bulk of the syllabus for banking and CAT exams consists of:
    - Quantitative Aptitude- Logical Reasoning- Data Interpretation- Verbal Reasoning- Critical Reasoning- Verbal Aptitude- Reading Comprehension
    The bank syllabus has some extra bit.-&get; General Awareness-&get; Computer Awareness-&get; Banking Awareness- &get; Marketing Aptitude
    IBPS Clerk online application process is going on so you can fill the form & go for it. Check the exam pattern here so it will give you the idea of the exam.

    CAT coaching is helpful for getting admission in MBA colleges.
    Banking is a different field. You should do graduation and start doing preparation for banking.

    Dear Sona,
    All the entrance coaching institutes are helpful for one or another student. Certainly, there will be some benefit by taking CAT coaching, but some areas might not get coveres.
    All the best.

    Dear Sona,
    Nothing is useless. If you are talking about basics, CAT coaching can help in bank preparation. Quantitative aptitude, reasoning and personal interview will help you to clear Bank exams as well.
    But I will suggest you to pick syllabus of Banking exam and do it one by one. Good luck.

    Not much. The pattern of both CAT and bank are different. You can go for specialised courses conducted by SBI & IBPS.

CAT cut offs do not flutuate much. For the past few years, the CAT exam cut offs for IIMs or other top colleges have not seen much change. If there is any change at all, it is in decimals. However, that decimal point too can make or mar admission chances. CAT cut offs for 2026 admission will largely remain the same as the CAT 2025 exam difficulty level was same as last year and number of takers dipped from last year.

CAT cut offs for IIM admission 2026 batch will not change. They will remain high between 92-100 percentile. Top 6 IIM cut offs will be between 98-100, while the cut offs for rest of them will be between 92-97.
