Preparation for anything depends on how quickly you learn. There are people who start one year before and some 3 months before the exam date. Personally, for an average student with moderate grasping and commitment towards the test can take 4 to 5 months for proper preparation along with mocks.

Apart from various coaching institutes, you can go through various online test series as they will provide you more practice. Fee structures are different for different institutions.

Hello Abhay,
There is no need to take a year's drop to solely prepare for the CAT exam as it takes around 6-months of diligent preparation to clear CAT. There are still some exams left like CMAT, CET and MAT through which you can get into some reputed B-Schools. However, if your aim is to get admitted into an IIM or a top non-IIM, then only I would advise to take a drop and prepare for CAT. Though you can give the aforementioned exams if you wish. All the best!

This decision will depend a lot on your interest areas & career aspirations.
CAT will get you admission into MBA and make your a techno-commercial person whereas GATE will give you an opportunity to pursue a Masters programme in engineering and further strengthen your technical skills which will help you for a career in research & academics.

Yes, IIMs would be the best for doing Executive MBA courses. For this you need to contact them directly. They offer such courses for limited periods in the year.

It totally depends on your interest. IIM will be good if you are interested towards management side and UPSC if you want to get a govt. job. So just find your interest.

As you are pursuing BABA and it's your second year, I'll suggest you to join it after your 4th semester and must go for coaching in which there are less students in class and good faculty as faculty will give proper attention to each and every student.
