You see brother, CAT has most number of colleges under it's umbrella. But, some excellent non IIM B -Schools take their own exams. For example, XLRI takes through CAT, TISS takes through TISSNET. Similarly, there are other exams for symbiosis, Irma and Delhi school of economics.

It is impossible to get a good college at just 60 percentile in CAT exam. The cutoffs of all top colleges are generally above 85-90 percentile. So, it would be better to keep 90+ as your aim. All the best.

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.

Hello Afzal,
There are many more exams other than CAT like MAT, XAT (XLRI), SNAP (Symbiosis), etc.
I would ask you to focus on CAT.
If you happen to prepare for CAT well, you will easily get through other exams as well.
MAT is the easiest of them all.
XAT for XLRI is little tough than CAT.
For SNAP and XAT, a little more practice is required for English section.
Nothing is tough if you are determined though.
Go through the syllabus first.
Good luck!

Just go for CAT now because it is very tough and competitive and you have to give a lot of time to CAT syllabus. If you will go for it in the 3rd-year then you cannot complete the course on time and can not score well as you are an average student. So, you need to work very hard from now. Good luck and go for it.

There can't be one single book. English needs a steady improvement being our Second Language. Much depends on our career needs. If we are in a competitive field, we need good English and an observation of present-day trends. So, gather your material and refresh your knowledge from time to time.

Hello Kapil,
Unfortunately, your score is too low for IIMs.
You need to score somewhere near 95 percentile to get into an IIM if you belong to general category.
Good luck!
