CAT 2008 study group for chennai

[catgotmytongue]

I second that !
It certainly is a close call between TIME and IMS.But then since i'm not too sure about the material offered by the other institutes,i'd say go to the institute and talk to the guys there.
Should help,in my opinion.
Just my two cents..

hi guys,
nice to see a thread for Chennai CAT 08 preps!!!!!!
Wish all of you all the best with your preparation.
Between IMS and TIME,i feel the mock CATs of TIME are definitely better than the rest.Material wise IMS might have the edge (along with CL)
When i prepared for CAT 06 i registered for the TIME aimcat series and also got the CL material.
Was a classroom student of IMS in 2005.

As I said earlier. Different people have different ways of learning and have had different experiences. An IIM guy who studied in IMS would say IMS helped him and from CL would say CL helped him get through. For instance, I was speaking to getintoiimb (Ravi) today about this thread and the post and he said Time's materials are way better than IMS. He found IMS material elementary, which is the quite the opposite of what prahalad says. What matters for you is what suits you best which only you can find out by paying them a visit and finding out for yourself and taking the cost into consideration (if its one of the factors).

Regular classes - IMS has an edge over odrs.
Mocks - Time nd IMS both score gud..
Material - depends upon individuals perspection...

Cheers

Now how did u derive this overall picture here...? All posts go with the caveat that its an individual's perception..

It doesn't matter where you go enroll, it's you who writes the exam in November...The material/classes/mocks is only as good as the student who uses it...A good batch mate last year from IMS is at IIMC and Prahlad (ex Time) is at IIMB..

I seriously don't understand if you actually read that post of mine, despite quoting it. And, based on what phantom has said above, I hope you don't post your conclusion that IMS is best to get into IIMC and Time is best for getting into IIMB. As tempting as it may be, I am refraining from saying anything further.

Please stop this activity of coming to conclusions based on hear-say or rather your perception of the hear-say and the needless summarisations that follow.

I shall not exercise the same restraint viggy...

Nothing to add to what you said..

@Karthik...Pls pause and think before you post..This applies to any thread...

Kartik,

That was for the junta to not conclude on the basis of your summaries (in case you don't delete it). Thanks for deleting it Do read the posts well before you come to conclusions.

Thank you.

CAT 2008 Study grp for Chennai

The time is the far off before i decide whether to pitch-in this forum or to pitch-in at any of the Life @ B School forum


Until then..All the very best

My 2 cents on prep..

• Read a lot...editorials (Hindu and ET), non-fiction books, abstract literary stuffs

• Dont mug up word lists...it wont help

• Go thro the posts in All I want to speak about CAT,..to get motivated before kick starting ur prep..
