For coachin classes TIME has been a renowed name in the field of CAT and other management exmas so You can join that other options are also available and You can check based on Your cities, The best way to judge a coaching is not by asking the tooper but by asking the people who did not make it.

Dear Sumiti,

Generally, students start their CAT preparartion a year ago. One year of dedicated preparation is more than enough to crack CAT. If you are basics are very clear, you would not even require an year. So, if you are planning to give CAT 19, this is the best time to start your preparation.

TIME can be one of the good options for coaching.

Good Luck.
