Before we try and understand the reasons of why Adaptive Preparation for CAT could be advantageous for you, let’s understand why coaching should be done for MBA entrance and how you can increase your chances of getting selected to IIMs or premier b-schools in India.
MBA entrance examinations such as CAT are very competitive. Hence, most of the students need and seek professional guidance. A majority of students opt for traditional CAT coaching, a small percentage of students opt for correspondence courses or smaller variants of the traditional CAT coaching such as National Level Mock CAT Series or Personal Interview Preparation.
Traditional CAT coaching offers a good mix of standard material and classroom guidance through subject experts. Typically, it also includes a Mock CAT series with rankings/percentiles and tutoring for the personality assessment stage once the results of the aptitude assessment stage are out. So, it gives one a platform to practice.
There are 2 significant limitations of traditional classroom coaching:
So, despite its noble intentions, most students do not gain much from a traditional CAT coaching.
One major reason why traditional CAT coaching fails to deliver on its promise is that it is outdated. While life around us has changed immensely over the past 20 odd years (you wouldn’t even remember those days when you used to go to a post-office to send a hand-written letter to a dear friend, would you?), traditional CAT coaching hasn’t. The following visual should amplify the fact that it is time for change!
| Period | 1978-1995 | 1991-2010 | 2011 and beyond |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nature of CAT | Simple CAT. Less competition | Pencil-paper CAT. Increase in competition | CAT goes online and may soon be adaptive. Intense competition |
| CAT preparation | Correspondence Course (Leader: IMS) | Traditional CAT coaching (Leader: TIME) | ADAPTIVE Prep for CAT (Leader: MBAGuru) |
| Mode & method of delivery | Material via Post | Material + Teaching in classroom (mainly offline) – Standard delivery to every student | As per your needs – Material + Teaching (offline + online) |
| Impact on chances of success | Every aspirant took it and by early 1990’s, it no longer gave an edge | Everyone took it and over the past few years, it no longer increases your chances | MAXIMUM Impact! |
When you prepare students for an exam that continuously changes, you need to continuously ADAPT. For this very reason, ADAPTIVE Prep for CAT@MBAGuru not only ADAPTS to the students’ needs but also proactively ADAPTS to the visible and likely changes in the CAT. The 3-hour long classroom sessions at MBAGuru came into existing 3 years BEFORE the CAT became a 180 minutes affair!
An adage in Stock Markets goes something like: “The trend is your friend”. The trend in CAT is clear and visible and we can foresee its likely course. And, if there is one thing we are without a doubt best at, it is ADAPTING. We will, and we will ensure that you too stay ahead of time!
V3 brings ADAPTIVE Prep in its most powerful avatar yet. ADAPTIVE Prep-V2 itself was the most intensive classroom program with highest number of hours in the industry. V3 pushes the boundary further and takes it right to the edge.
ADAPTIVE Prep-V3 is designed to be, by far, the most powerful and intense CAT prep program till date in not only Delhi but the entire nation. We intend to continue being the best and shaking the Traditional CAT coaching industry which just hordes students into big batches and delivers the same standard stuff, year after year.
No holds barred. No limits. We will ADAPT – ahead of TIME, every time
