    From my personal experience, I would say coaching classes can provide you only 20% of your marks, the rest you get is through self-study.
    So, classes don't make much of a difference. Still, you can consider going for online Career Launcher classes. Enrolling courses helps to save you time and are much productive as compared to offline classes.
    Personalised teaching which you get from these online coaching classes helps you understand "fundamental concepts" in a much more holistic manner.
    Also, CAT is an exam of aptitude and not really the test of how much you know. Every question has a certain way to solve to save time so just try to se

    There are more than 1000 coaching classes for CAT, but before joining always check the records for last year students. For your reference, below are some top coaching institutes:
    1. TIME: Time teaches you to the toughest level where sometimes you will say as CAT is easier than mock tests by time. They have highly experienced faculty members who teach the top-notch talent to sharpen their skills. Before joining the class, they provide an in-depth plan of teaching and everything happens the same.
    2. Career Launcher: Similar to TIME, Career Launcher has also been considered to be one of the best institutes for students.
    3. CATKing: It has p

    TIME and Career launcher are one of the prominent ones for CAT coaching since last decade. These two coaching centers are consistent in providing successful results not only in CAT exam but are also successful in providing results in various other B-school entrance exams. The curriculum will provide you with overall ammunition to strike all kind of exams which are held in India as well as GMAT too. They have increased their reach to most of the tier one and tier two cities in India which provides an added advantage of saving time from travelling to coaching centers.

    TIME, CATKing, Career Launcher and IMS are known institutes providing coaching for MBA classes.
    These institutes provide good course material, online test series and faculty. Make sure that you are enrolled for a good batch with the best faculty. You may also consider online coaching platforms.
    Test series are very important part of the preparation, make sure you solve the test papers provided by the institute.
    Apart from this, self-study is the best coaching you can get. All the best!

    TIME, CATKing and IMS are the famous names for MBA classes. Apart from a reputed faculty, the extensive experience and research material that they have and the quality of test series that these classes will have is far better than most and also the quality of your classmates will be helpful while coaching in these institutions. You can either opt for classroom courses, crash course or test series. But whatever course you apply for, make sure you also join the test series. It is important that you attempt many mocks before you actually take the exam. TIME has a vast pool of papers and their quality level is pretty high. If you get comfo

    There are two kinds of coaching institutes, one is online and other is offline. I have attended both of them during my CAT preparation. Coming to offline model, I would suggest TIME institute, at least in South India. TIME has very well experienced faculty who groom students from all the aspects of MBA entrance exam preparation. AIMCATs - which are the mock CAT exams conducted by them prepare you for even the worse situation that could happen to you while taking exam. When I gave CAT 2 years back, the exam pattern had a drastic change that year and AIMCATs helped me in coping up with the new pattern easily. Coming to the online model,

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
