CAT

Hello Ankur! The cut-offs of all old IIMs are never fixed; they vary as per the difficulty level of CAT exam. But generally, a score of 99.7 percentile and above can be considered safe to get a call from at least one of these IIMs. So, try to score as high as you can. Good luck!

You should definitely prefer Arun Sharma sir book because it is the best selling book and it is by far the best book for CAT preparation. It will help you to know how to solve the question in best possible manner and what sort of question will be there in exam.

You need not be afraid of appearing in CAT examination. You can crack CAT by proper preparations and coaching. You are advised to join a good coaching institute to crack CAT.

Hi Ankit,
I found TIME coaching material to be really good. Even if you don't want to join their coaching. You can sign up for their test series program and the coaching material. Their coaching material is exhaustive and covers almost every type of question that you may expect in CAT.
Also, joining the test series is important, as it makes you accustomed to the format of exam (online, and how the interface might look like) and also shows you where you stand with respect to other students.
