see, u have said yet to start the preparation SO, u could have to join some institution where u will be guided and the study material will be provided by them. for preparation on your own buy some material related to CAT and start as early as possible. Generally 4-5 months serious study preparation is needed.
the examination will be conducted only once a year
that may be from oct-Nov. So, the notification would come on August
ALL the Best

Hi,

CAT is now a online entrance test for admission into the IIM's and other premier B- School in India. It's conducted once a year and in generally in the month of Oct- November.

If you are seriously looking to crack CAT then probably this is the best time for you to start preparation.

To start off with, start solving your Class X and XII maths book for a Quant and read regularly English newspaper to get a good command over English. It is recommended to read the editorial section properly and write jist of it on your own, this will come handy to solve long reading comprehension passages in CAT also will make you grammatically strong.

After you finish off with your Class X and XII maths book, probably by April join a good coaching institute in your city and start the proceeding from there. It is suggested to finish off your institute study material by July/August and start talking Online tests that will give you a feel of real CAT and also will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses. Analysis and review of the test given is of Vital importance, these will help you identify what went wrong and how also will help you to understand the concepts well. Students who are aim for big B- School always aim for at least 1 test in a week from July/August and then increase it to 2/3 from September.

In case you need further assistance regarding online material, and free mock test series let me know the same will be provided.

CAT exam is conducted only once in year so you can attempt it only once in an year . You need to cover a lot of topics and syllabus before you give an attempt the exam.So definitely you need to go for a good coaching center before you crack the exam.If you are in graduation start your preparation right from the start of the 3rd year itself.

Hi

First year is too early to start for CAT exam. Better concentrate on your graduation.
Graduation marks also has a weightage in MBA admission. and if by any chance you are not able to make it to good MBA college, good graduation marks would atleast get you a decent job.

I would advice you to join CAT coaching class in your pre final year. 2 year of time is very good for CAT preparation.
Coaching classes would take 1 year and would cover the entire CAT syllabus. During next year you can revise everything studied and appear for various mock test before appearing for CAT exam.
In this way you would complete your entire syllabus with revision.

CAT exams are conducted only once every year. They provide few dates and venues, and candidates have to choose from them appear for CAT.
This year CAT exam from 16th October to 11th November.

A candidate can appear for CAT as many time as he/she wants.

All the best
