CAT Preparation

Yes, you should go for coaching classes because it will help you practically. If you have completed your 2nd year then it is the best time to take coaching classes and you will get ample of time to do self-preparation but please try to get admission in a really good college, not in any private college.

For MAH-CET, you can refer to:
1. RK Jha
2. Disha Publications
3. GK Publications
4. Verma publications
For CAT, you can refer to books like:
1. Nishit Sihna
2. Arun Sharma
3. Arihant Publications (good)
4. VRC (verbal and reading comprehension)

Hello Kishor,
If you take CAT exam in 2018 then you would get admission into a particular B-School (only if you clear the interview rounds) the next year i.e. 2019. Since the full-time MBA program is of two years duration, you would graduate in 2021 (assuming you clear all the necessary exams).

If you're aiming for CAT'18 then this is the ideal time to start. Give 2-3 hours daily for CAT. You can also join any coaching institute if needed. For verbal, I'll suggest you start reading newspapers like 'The Hindu' and 'Times of India'. Make a habit of reading. Word power made easy by Norman Lewis is a must.

There are many depending on the city you are located in. Most popular institutes are TIME, BYJU's, PT, Career Launcher, IMS, etc. Their quality differs depending on the city. In Jaipur, I'd suggest you go for PT. In Delhi, TIME is better. Go to the city which is more convenient.

A proper planning of time management will help you to simultaneously prepare for CAT and graduation. You can do it.

Please go through 5 to 12 maths book it helps to clear your basic and solve questions fast. Read english newspaper it helps to increase your english vocabulary. Solve question papers and also give CAT mock tests.

As there is no neutral ranking or public rating for such coaching institutes it would be difficult to rate any Institute as a best or a second best. However, few of the popular Institutes giving CAT coaching in Jaipur are Career Launcher, IMS, T.I.M.E, P.T Education, & Career Forum etc. and in Ahmedabad again you can consider: Career Launcher, IMS, T.I.M.E, etc.

Hello,
There is no harm in preparing for the CAT exam with that score. With a great percentile, who knows, you might end up with an interview call from a top B-school. You should target FMS New Delhi as it doesn't give any importance to your past academic scores; though its cutoff is high (approx. 99 percentile) and not just CAT, you should prepare for other exams too as backup like XAT, SNAP, NMAT, etc.
