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!

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.

Yes, you can prepare for CAT at home. First, clear your basics and then move forward.
Here are some books that you can refer for your preparation:-
1) Quants - First solve the NCERT from 6th to 10th standard and then solve M.Tyra and Rs Aggarwal. These books will strengthen your foundation. Once you complete these books you can go for Arun Sharma.
2) Verbal/ RC- Start reading as much as you can. Read newspaper, novels, magazine etc, this will increase your ability to understand the context. Also, refer to verbal ability and reading comprehension book by Arun Sharma.

Start reading TOI or ET from the beginning so that your reading will be good and general knowledge will increase with current updates. Start doing the practice of grammar and increase your vocabulary. After these steps, start doing aptitude one by one. Starting from the beginning will help you a lot.

Updating GK is an important thing you need to take care. A large number of students fail in this. If you could read newspapers daily and note down important updates it will be helpful. Also, a lot of updated GK questions and answers are available on different sites.
