No, the coaching institutes are not mandatory for CAT exam preparation. Many students in the past have scored 99+ percent through self-examination. However, whether or not to enroll in a training institute is a personal decision that must be made with personal discipline and time available for CAT preparation. The advantage of coaching is that students will get a guide to guide them through their preparation journey.
