Princeton Review at Jayanagar 4th Block is a good institute. I happened to enquire for one of my friends. The GMAT fees for 2 months is 23000/- and for admission procedure guidance, its some 15000/-

I might also have their phone no., So u can PM me for that.

I wouldnt advise either Kaplan or princeton. They are a waste of money.
Take a diagnostic test , and if you find urself scoring less than 600 , then only THINK about joining one of those..!! . and i am saying just THINK ..if u can benefit from those...before joining.
"2 months " is a misnomer.It is actually 20 hrs of coaching ....spread in 2 months.
I think OG is the bible.Do lots of practice tests...These coachings are for people who lie in the range of upto 600.
Also in those 20hrs...half is of quant which hardly requires any coaching...!!
i would suggest to go for only verbal coaching even if u are really hell-bent on joining a coaching!!..

Hi,

Thanx a lot,
I got some lights to my question,
So planning to study my self, then write a test,
Now which book should I go for, I could C there is a series of KAPLAN books available in the market and BYSODUS said some OG..
what is this OG-
Pls let me know

[bysodus]

Amitav,
OG- Official Guide to GMAT.10th edition print 2003.
As far as kaplan goes...there is kaplan -gmat and Kaplan 800.both are good enuff.Kaplan 800 seems to be slightly tougher.

Let me know where can i Find that book

[bysodus]

You can get a non-discount OG at gangarams -Mg road.
You can try also at Strands - dickenson road but it is always out of stock there..altho those guys are kind enuff to offer a 20% discount on this.
You can also get a soft version on www.scoretop.com .Just search in there site.

Be warned that the Quant section is surely incomplete in the PDF; and for SC/CR, It might/might not be complete.

The SC/CR sections are defintely complete while the quant is not.I dont think u need to go thru the OG quant at all.It is pretty easy anywayz.But u would like to buy the New 11th edition OG now.
