How to select a coaching centre for CAT ?

The first step to decide a coaching centre for CAT is to find a well-trained,
experienced and compassionate friend who is willing to take the time to understand
you and fully discuss the alternatives available to you.

So we ask our friends and teachers.And geeky guys like me may go through various recommendations by students on their blogs.Lets see what people say :-

There are basically three big coaching institutes in the country – Career Launcher (CL), TIME and IMS. I fully recommend CL, especially the Hyderabad centre.Of course, I’m biased towards them because it’s my institute but I also think that only CL provides a great level of personal attention to each candidate which makes a huge difference in the long run.

Better if you chose one of TIME, CL, IMS, PT or CF. Finally , have faith on GOD , give your best try you‘ll definitely make it into a TOP B school.

And Ashutosh Writes
I prepared off IMS materials and I didn't feel the need for buying any other book to help me in my preparation. What was given in the IMS materials were more than enough. CAT is not exactly predictable and what you really need to crack CAT is an experience in solving a variety of questions.

My first observation was that we all have different parameters to decide these institutes based on our strengths and environment.And then,I decided to study some of the parameters which people consider while deciding a coaching centre and created a web tool which may help people to take good and logical decisions.My purpose of creating this tool is to help you consider all the important factors before taking the final decision.
