    Hello,
    Provided you have good knowledge about how to study for CAT you need not join a coaching class. YouTube videos, informative articles on the Internet, books of authors like Arun Sharma, etc., can also be referred for study. Classes are helpful only for the guidance, their study material and mock tests.

    No, it is not compulsory to go any institute or any center for CAT preparation. You can do it by your own study on any competitive app or online videos or by studying from any books. If you join any institute, you will get a clear knowledge or clear view about what you are studying. Don't get confused about when to start or where to start.

At GIBS, they keep the entrance exam part really simple. For PGDM or MBA, they accept almost all the common exams like CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, and GMAT. Even state-level or institute-level scores are considered.

Honestly, GIBS doesn't stress too much about “only one specific exam.” As long as you have written any of these exams and meet the basic cut-off, you're good to apply. They focus more on your overall profile, communication, and interest in management rather than just exam marks.

ALL THE BEST!

Getting into the MBA programme of NIT Trichy with a 300 SC CAT rank is somewhat uncertain. As the recent data sets suggest, NIT Trichy's CAT cutoff for SC category admission stands around 65th percentile. A 300 SC rank could be borderline depending on how many SC candidates apply and the quality of the overall candidate pool.
In CAT marks terms, to reach around the 300 SC rank, you'd likely need a CAT percentile of 65–70, which roughly translates to a CAT score of about 60–65 out of 198, assuming the normalization and difficulty remain similar. 
However, final admission also depends on other factors like your academic profile, w

For candidates pursuing MBA, the eligibility criteria includes merit and entrance based selection. Whereas, for BBA, candidates must qualify Class 12 with a minimum aggregate. JIIT CDOE MBA on the other hand, is offered based on the minimum aggregate of graduation.  However, for the final admission, candidates must meet the cutoff rank or score and must secure valid scores in accepted entrance exams such as CAT.

That's a wonderful goal to push your son toward right at the start. To obtain previous CAT model papers, you can check many available popular exam preparation books in any bookstore or online store. Coaching interest such as TIME, IMS, Career Launcher, etc., usually have mock tests and sample papers for students. Educational YouTube channels  offer thought forums regarding past patterns. Almost all the sites discussed before offer free PDFs with question paper solutions to look over the previous years' papers. You could also consult seniors and teachers who had taken the standardized test as well. All these resources will help wit
