As I celebrate my success in CAT, my deepest gratitude goes to the entire academy team for the constant support offered to me.
Being a first timer at CAT, the training helped me sharpen my skills and get over my weak areas. The material and lectures helped me get the concepts and strategy right, while the mock tests showed me where I stood at each stage of preparation. The regular mock interviews and suggestions for improvement were of immense help when I faced the interview board.

If getting into a good B-school is 51% about academic knowledge, then it is 49% about correct motivation.
Arun Sir and his team not only provided the training to crack CAT, but also the PDP sessions that polished my outlook towards the exam. The constant emphasis on mock tests and identifying strengths and weaknesses helped me plan my approach and prepare for unfavourable situations.
The smaller batch size and helpful faculty made sure not even a single doubt went unnoticed. I thank the team for helping me secure a seat at the Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi University.

The teachers were extremely helpful and I believe they are the USP of the institute. Arun Sharma Sir, Meenakshi Ma’am and Lokesh Sir guided us with the mental preparation for the exam, in addition to introducing innovative methods that made even the toughest problems feel manageable. Through their guidance and support, I cracked CAT and gained admission to IIM Ahmedabad.

CAT preparation is not just about academic knowledge. It is about developing a thought process for time management and increasing accuracy. Arun Sir and Meenakshi Ma’am made us aware of the dynamics of CAT while building the self-belief and confidence needed to perform.
The regular PDP sessions kept my spirits high throughout preparation. Constant personal guidance helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses and develop a proper test-taking strategy. I owe a big part of my success to the entire team.

I would like to thank Arun Sharma Sir for helping me realise my dream of getting into a premier B-school. Coming from a non-English background, I was always apprehensive about reaching an IIM. The guidance I received was extremely helpful and played a major role in my selection at one of the country’s best B-schools.

99.25%ile · MDI Gurgaon
The program helped me get a good score and improve the areas that mattered during interviews. The classes taught not only logic and shortcuts, but also the ability to choose the right questions in the actual paper.
The GD-PI sessions by Arun Sharma Sir and Meenakshi Ma’am honed the skills required to reach a top B-school. Interacting with people from the institutes we wanted to join gave us a clear view of what those institutes expect from a candidate.
I want to thank the whole team for pushing and motivating me throughout this journey.

CAT student
The best part of my journey has been the clear and precise one-to-one guidance from the faculty, especially Arun Sharma Sir. Clear communication with the faculty helped me greatly in my CAT preparation.
Arun Sir’s teaching style emphasises the small details, from calculations to tricky topics, and gives me clarity of thought. Periodic doubt-clearing sessions helped keep my preparation moving in the right direction.
The video solutions introduced time-saving methods I had not seen before, while the CATSCANs were extremely useful for analysing my performance and taking corrective action.

CAT student
The first name that comes to mind when people begin CAT preparation is Arun Sharma Sir. His books are a bible for CAT aspirants, and the opportunity to receive preparation strategy and guidance from him is why I chose the academy.
The other faculty members are efficient trainers who make even difficult CAT questions feel simple. Teachers are cooperative and motivating, problems are resolved quickly, and the non-teaching team is equally supportive when technical issues arise.

CAT student
I joined in April to prepare for CAT 2021. The faculty and study process helped a newcomer like me form strong basics. Topic-wise video classes supported offline study, weekly doubt-clearing sessions improved my understanding, and the communication between teachers and students was the best part of the experience.

CAT student
The team and faculty made me stronger across Quant, VARC and DILR. Arun Sharma Sir, Meenakshi Upadhyay Ma’am and Saeed Khan Sir were great motivators. The books and study material gave me confidence: I started with LOD 1 and steadily increased the difficulty level. The teachers were consistently helpful throughout the learning journey.

CAT student
The team helped me build my basics, especially in Quant and VARC, and understand CAT comprehensively. The mentors supplied much-needed motivation, while the books and study material let me move from easier sets to higher difficulty. Following DI-a-day and attending classes changed how I interpreted numbers across both Quant and VARC.

CAT student
The online video lessons and live classes explain important concepts in an easy, crisp and concise manner. The tips and shortcuts make learning enjoyable and help solve questions faster.
The experienced mentors understand the fears students face and help reduce avoidable errors and exam stress.
Online preparation also lets me study from my own comfort zone, while the test series develops the time management needed to solve questions within the exam limit.
