Hi arun_juee,
Since you are from kolkata as well, I would like to have your take on the best coaching available for CAT here. Also since I am working in a software comp. will it be fruitful enough by enrolling for a correspondence prog. rather than a classroom one.

Guys,
As alredy mentioned in another post on this thread totalgadha is a good site, to be honest excellent
Just wanted to say it can be a good resource.
I found the material here is really good.
Especially for Quant. I found the material 4 beginning + clarifying concepts very good
On any given day it can give any coaching material a run 4 their money
Also 4 the download section there is lot of quality practice material on QA, DI , VA , RC
All this is free of cost, just need to do a simple registration.
CAT 2007, CAT 2008, IIM, GMAT, MBA preparation, XAT, problems, math, quant, verbal, data interpretation, reading comprehension, sentence correction, critical reasoning, number system, geometry, (TG)
Just wanted to inform the junta.
I am a fan of TG.

and synonym, antonym kind of questions in IIFT , NMIMS , SNAP, TISS
Is this the right approach.
Junta who had already tasted CAT plz reply.

@smita.. my suggestion would be TIME . .TIMEs material is also good and so is coaching.. altho i have no delhi specific ideas.. but u may confirm in this regard..
@all ..
Count me in here .. a new working professional .. and m feeling the pain already..
getting to know why its difficult to work and prepare for any exam.. esp. when u are based out of hometown !!
