Approximately 75% of them who quality MAT and CAT are done with their coaching in these campuses.
The experienced faculties of these Institute will be knowing the general trend of each years question paper and will make students ready to face it. So, I suggest TIME for you.

The syllabus of MAT comprises topics or chapters from each section that aspirants should study to ace the exam. Analysing the previous year's question papers experts have suggested topics from Language Comprehension, Mathematical Skills, Data Analysis and Sufficiency, General Intelligence and Critical Reasoning and Indian & Global Environment that are important for the entrance exam.
The focus of the test is on the basic concept of mathematics. The topics include Arithmetic, Geometry and Mensuration, and miscellaneous topics such as Time, Speed & Distance, Simple/Compound Interest, Series, Mixture and Set theory. it is important to develop vocabulary by reading thought-provoking books, magazines, and editorials in newspapers. Update your grammar by reading books which enhance English language skills.
General awareness of the students is an important requirement for management education. Basic knowledge of Science, Geography, History, Economics, Current Affairs, Politics, etc. would be useful as well.

Yes, it has most of what a MAT exam needs provided you take every example and solve it by your own. R. S. Agarwal is mostly preferred overall because the level of understanding for students is very good. It is basic book to study Aptitude, Quantitative and Qualitative, etc. MAT is a normal exam you just need to study little more with RS Agarwal book. However, don't make any assumption that your exams questions will come from RS Agarwal book but that type of examples will be there.
First, analyse the syllabus of MAT and Identify which topic you need to prepare then opt the book and read, solve what is there in RS Agarwal. You will sure have good exposure of that book, it has ample examples for students to go for any aptitude exam. Do smart work with the book don't read everything because you might have less time to do so.

First, decide yourself what you want to do MBA or job, because if you are planning for a good college then I would rather suggest you to study for CAT exam with complete dedication of taking admission this year. CAT needs a lot of practice and study to get admission in good colleges. If you waste time in deciding these confusions you will not able to give CAT exam at good stage. So I would suggest start preparing for CAT entrance exam with complete dedication and Self-motivation. Then if you get a very good score go for TOP MBA colleges to complete your goal and if unfortunately you couldn't able to crack CAT exam then you can go for any suitable job for one year then you will have time and you can prepare will for next CAT exam.
While doing your final year you will have a flow of study for CAT and at least you will not waste a year for preparation of CAT.
