Yes, you can, but YouTube isn't exactly the best place to learn about management. Here are a few channels:
Takshzila Shikshak
BYJU's
Career Launcher
Hand Ka Funda.

Coaching centers usually differ from city to city. Usually, in an area, local coaching centers are often better alternative than famous coaching centers. But as other mentors have mentioned, TIME is a good institute and has its branches in many cities.

Good evening,
You have decent score in Graduation. For CAT you must start preparing for today itself. It's already very late, CAT exam is conducted in the month of October. You have nearly 70 days in hand. Prepare for it from last year's sample papers, Arihant Publications book and McGraw Hill that costs nearly INR 900.
Thanks and all the best.

Arun Sharma books are the best options for CAT preparation. You may try them. Also, you may get some older versions of PDF free on the internet. Try them once and see if you like them.

Hello Kirti, If you are from Delhi then try for Tathagat Coaching. It's good for CAT. Career and TIME both are having good faculty members, but sometimes it depends on the branch also. Both are having good reputation in the market. If you are not from Delhi then join TIME or Career Launcher for the test series. Test series of Career Launcher is excellent.

Hello Neha, it depends on your hard work and how you prepare for the CAT exam, normally candidates study atleast for 3-4hrs daily for good scores in MBA entrance exams. Still, if you are not good in aptitude you can get good scores in entrance exams. If you practice thoroughly you will definitely get results, if you don't clear the CAT exam, still you can easily score well in the exams like MAH-CET, CMAT, MAT, NMAT.
I hope you like my suggestion. Best of luck for your future.

There is no sacrifice time period for starting preparation for CAT exam. You can start it with this point of time. Even though it will be better, if you start studying from here only, you will have more confident for your upcoming exams.

You have to appear this year in November 2018 for examination to get admission in B-Schools.

Hello Bindia,
Firstly, you can download CAT syllabus and after that, focus on your weak point after that purchase book and last year question papers and start preparation.
