CAT

Hello Akash,
You can start preparing for CAT in your final year as one can take CAT either in his/her final year of graduation or after completing it. But do ensure that the CAT preparation doesn't affect your engineering studies. You may start preparing for it indirectly, now too, by improving your English vocabulary and solving logical puzzles.

Hello Rakesh,
CAT tests a candidate on the basis of how well he/she is able to implement the knowledge of various basic concepts in its questions. Whereas, the various B-Schools evaluate the final year students or freshers based mainly on their academic scores, knowledge about the current affairs/GK and extra-curricular activities.

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.

Hello Ron,
CAT is the master of all MBA entrance examinations, but still, there are more exams which you can take such as XAT, NMAT by GMAC and Symbiosis National Aptitude (SNAP) Test.

CAT has minus marking scheme. The marking scheme for CAT 2016 had 3 marks for every correct answer and 1 mark deducted from candidates credit score for every wrong answer. The exception is non-MCQs where candidate's wrong answers are not imposed with the penalty of negative marking.
