Sir i wantd to ask que that after which year i am suppose to start CAT preparation and am doing bba 1st yr and also cleared 1st semester

Hy Gaurav,

It's sound good that you are already a management student and wanted to do mba in future.

Well as you are from management background so you need atleast one year of preparation or more depending upon your schedule as you have to do your graduation as well.

You can join classroom coaching for 2 years which took place at weekends and it will make you familiar with concepts.

Start your preparation with sheer determination. Whenever you feel demotivated, you can dream about the day when you will crack the exam and it will definitely motivate you. March-April is a good time to start preparation for the exam which will be held in October-November.

I wish you all the best Gaurav. Go ahead.

Cheers !!

One year is sufficient for CAT preparation. CAT has three sections. that is Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension, Quantitative Aptitude and Data Intrepretation and Logical Reasoning.
