CAT 2011 is just around the corner. CAT 2011, which is going to be held in Nov-Dec 2011 will judge the fate of all the MBA aspirants out there. If you have not yet prepared for this exam, you donât need to worry because you have still got four more months to prepare for it. And, if you have still not joined a coaching institute then now is just the right time for you to do so, if you think that a coaching instituteâs guidance will make you clear the exam.
Choosing the right CAT prep institute is a tough task as there are many MBA coaching institutes to choose from and so you may get confused. Some of the leading test prep institutes in India are: Triumphant Institute of Management Education (T.I.M.E.), IMS Learning, Career Launcher, PT Education, Career Forum etc.
Manish Arora, COO, PT Education suggests some key factors for choosing the right kind of test prep institute. The key parameters to be kept in mind are given below:
Reputation of the MBA coaching institute: If the reputation of the MBA coaching institute is good, you would think of joining it. The number of successful students an MBA coaching institute produces will justify how good or bad an institute is. Many advertisements about MBA coaching institutes talk about how many students from their coaching institute have cracked CAT and about receiving calls from IIMs. But you should check it before believing anything they say. You should check the quality, the infrastructure and other parameters of the institute before joining.
Pedagogy: One of the most important factors in a prep institute is the teaching methods implemented by them. Look at the quality of the course material provided, the number of mock tests, class size etc. before joining it. Check whether the faculty member gives individual attention, see how much stress is given on problem solving rather than only theoretical learning etc. If the size of the class is too big, then there are chances of students not getting individual attention and you might not be able to get your personal queries cleared.
Faculty: The most important asset of a prep institute is its faculty members. Before finalizing the CAT coaching institute, you should first check the faculty profile. See the faculty count per subject, the method of teaching, and the background of the faculty members.
Course content: Check if the course content is regularly updated or not by comparing the course material of present year and the past years. Every year CAT has some surprises in store for the MBA aspirants. Check whether these surprise elements are embedded in the course material received by the students of the existing batch.
Quality of Mock test: Check the number of mock tests provided by the coaching institute a nd you should also check if the mock test is given in a simulated environment and check the similarity of the test module with the computer based CAT exam. Check the quality of the analysis of the mock test.
