Hello,
Unfortunately, the answer to this question is "yes".
CAT preparation won't be sufficient enough for XAT and the same holds true if you are preparing for XAT.
This is because the intention to check on the areas are very different in both the exams.
XAT questions are on difficult side whereas CAT questions are easy to moderate level. Also, XAT has General Knowledge section and Decision making sections that are not covered in CAT syllabus.
Thus perpetration for one exam doesn't assure you are ready for other. But yes, the preparation of CAT will ensure a smooth road for XAT preparation and it would be easier.

Hello,
Most of your task is done for IIFT if you are preparing for CAT. Difficulty level for both the exams is at par. The only difference is the General Knowledge section which can be easily covered by Reading newspapers on a daily basis.
Ensure to solve mock papers for IIFT to get a look and feel of how the pattern is, what the difficulty level of the exam is.
Focus on your CAT preparation and IIFT preparation will follow.
Remember, do not try to put your leg into both the paper as far as preparation is concerned. Just focus on your CAT preparation. Try to complete your syllabus well before time so that you have time to agile yourself to

Not a bad idea at all. Infact MBA through regular mode of education would be very good if you can leave your job for a period of 2 years. Here you have the option to do MBA through Part-time mode or distance mode, which will not require you to appear in CAT / MAT.

Yes, surely, you will be able to prepare but you will need to learn some elementary mathematics and also focus more on the logical reasoning questions based on basic mathematics.

Yes, you can score more than 95 percentile with TIME correspondence course. Only thing is that you must remain focused and motivated throughout your preparation. Apart from just working hard, work smart too. Practice a lot and take mocks to get the exam like feel. Analyse your mocks and find out your weak area and work upon them. I can say please take mocks seriously and never forget to analyse it.
I hope this will help you.
Good luck for your preparation.

Hello, there is no need to prepare for CAT right from your second year. Generally, around 6 months of diligent preparation for 3-4 hours daily is enough to score well in CAT. Though you can start your preparations for it, indirectly, by improving your vocabulary (read the editorial columns of leading newspapers and other books, novels, etc) and strengthening your logical reasoning and mental calculation skills (speed maths tricks, logical puzzles, etc). Good luck!

Hi aspirant.
While preparing for CAT, you are practicing Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation and Logical rezoning, Verbal ability and reading comprehension if I am not wrong. Similarly, SNAP is also a same pattern. Additional subject is General awareness. So, you additionally concentrate on General awareness subject.
Actually, CAT is for 300 marks and SNAP is for 180 marks. So, you can find easy in SNAP if you are well prepared for CAT.
All the best for your future.

The IIFT entrance exam is similar to CAT but with an additional GK section and varied difficulty level. It seems reasonable to attempt it as well while preparing for CAT as it is the only way to get into this reputed college.
