No, I don't think so. All IIMs take admissions from CAT exam.

Hi,
GMAT can be prepared without any coaching and you can prepare for it completely through self-study. You can refer many downloadable and self-help online study guides available on: www.MBA.com. You can take practice tests available on the same week, take practice tests as much as you can for better results.

Hi,
There are certain essential differences between CAT and GMAT.
1. Quants section of CAT is tougher than GMAT. In CAT you can afford to skip questions, but in GMAT. You cannot do that.
2. If you don't do well in CAT then next year you can take CAT again. If you don't do well in GMAT. You can retake GMAT after few months. Speed and accuracy is essence of both.
3. CAT cost: Rs.2000 approximately for per-form.
4. GMAT. Rs.16k approximately for per appearance. I hope this helps.

There are three parts involved in preparing for any competitive exam.
1. Learning the concepts.
2. Solving questions and papers
3. Evaluation and improving. You can use Youtube or refer some books to clarify concepts and learn about the test format and structure. For solving problems you can buy some books by Tata McGraw Hill, Arihant for CAT and Kaplan, GMAT Review for GMAT. For evaluation and improving, you can solve papers and evaluate them yourself. Find out your weaknesses and work on improving them.

Hi,
Unfortunately, the answer to this question is "YES". CAT preparation won't be sufficient enough for GMAT and the same holds true if you are preparing for GMAT. This is because the intention to check on the areas are very different in both the exams. CAT tests your ability mainly on your 1- Quantitative abilities 2- Data Interpretation/ Logical Reasoning and 3- Verbal Ability. GMAT on the other side tests your, quant, Verbal, AWA, IR. You may think Quant and Verbal overlap in both but this isn't enough as the difficulty is not the same in both. Quant in CAT is at a higher level than GMAT. Similarly Verbal scores point in GMAT over qu

Hi, It depends on individuals ability and previous knowledge to prepare for any entrance test. The best way is to take a mock test and find your strengths and gaps. Then you may start working with a plan and coaching. There are many options available these days like online tutoring, offline classes or mix of both. You may take 3 to 6 months and do take lot of mock tests before your final exam.
