other exams: don't remember.

2. TIME: course fee: 22,950. (provide scholarship on tests and last year's CAT percentile).{provide installment facility: in my centre, I hadda pay 10 grand on start and rest 5450 divided between the next two months. I got a scholarship of 7500 so thats y the wierd addition.
number of module tests: dunno...maybe they don't even have that.
number of mock cats: last year was 15.(all india)
other exams: 10 (2 SNAP, 2 IIFT, 1 FMS, 5 XAT)

Now my views: (you may blatantly disagree..)
IMS is a much more organized instt. They have a better R&D team.
TIME kicks you in the ass and makes you sit up straight and take notice..lol....
Anyways all said and done, I joined TIME bcoz of three reasons:
1. saved money.
2. more tests.
3. better coverage (55 or something centres across india)....

Hope I could clear some of your doubts and apprehensions..
All said and done, if a person's somewhat motivated,he/she would'nt bother much about which instt s/he's enrolled in....pagalguy serves the purpose for the preps....big time!!!

Thanks yudhajeet, this comparatve info would help a lot. Do you know which TIME centre is better (Jadavpur or Park Street)?

Frankly, I think its immaterial...coz the faculty rotates among the centres judiciously...so all the places have the same faculty...having said that I think the nearer one would be preferred.....
But please don't base your doubts on the pool of students across the different centres...everyone's there for a reason....so go for it..........
