Frequently asked questions (FAQs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Introduction: The cost problem in CAT coaching<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each year, thousands of students aim to qualify for the CAT and get admission to various of India&#8217;s top business schools. However, high-quality coaching has historically come at a high cost; reputable institutes charge between \u20b940,000 and \u20b91,20,000 for their comprehensive training courses. As a result, many great candidates get priced out before they ever start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catmock designers created it to close this exact gap. The platform creators designed it so that everyone, regardless of financial situation, could get relevant, high-quality preparation. CAT toppers and instructors with numerous 99.5+ percentile scores founded it. Additionally, the text is purposefully devoid of filler and needless complexity, maintaining a laser-like focus and exam-relevant knowledge throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Platform \/ Tier<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Annual Cost (\u20b9)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Catmock (free tier)<\/td><td>Free of Cost<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Catmock (premium package)<\/td><td>\u20b91999-\u20b92999 (est.)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mid-range online platforms<\/td><td>\u20b910,000\u2013\u20b920,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Top classroom coaching institutes<\/td><td>\u20b940,000\u2013\u20b9120,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*Estimated annual coaching costs across popular CAT platforms (Source: catmock.com + market estimates 2025\u201326)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Catmock Overview: What It Is, How It Works, and What It Offers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-27.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-27.png 940w, https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-27-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-27-768x365.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catmock offers an online study platform designed especially for the CAT exam.&nbsp;Other MBA entry exams,&nbsp;including the XAT, SNAP, and NMAT, are also accessible. The platform was developed by CAT toppers and seasoned mentors, some of whom had achieved scores above the 99.5 percentile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, rather than relying solely on conjecture, every concept video and mock test incorporates first-hand exam insight. Catmock maintains incredibly low prices, in contrast to many teaching sites that charge excessive prices for basic supplies. In the meantime, it continues to provide comprehensive answers, sectional practice, and lengthy exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, they give equal opportunities to applicants from humble origins and smaller places. They have access to preparation of the same quality&nbsp;as that of&nbsp;top-tier institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Available<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Full-length CAT mocks (5 free)<\/td><td><strong>\u2713<\/strong><\/td><td>Free<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Previous year questions (PYQ)<\/td><td><strong>\u2713<\/strong><\/td><td>Free<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Daily practice questions<\/td><td><strong>\u2713<\/strong><\/td><td>Free<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Live lecture sessions<\/td><td><strong>\u2713<\/strong><\/td><td>Free<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>All India Live Mocks<\/td><td><strong>\u2713<\/strong><\/td><td>Free (To be registered)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>In-depth performance analytics<\/td><td><strong>\u2713<\/strong><\/td><td>Free<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GDPI preparation (GD + PI)<\/td><td><strong>\u2713<\/strong><\/td><td>Included<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1-on-1 mentorship<\/td><td><strong>\u2713<\/strong><\/td><td>Always Active<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>XAT \/ SNAP \/ NMAT mocks<\/td><td><strong>Upcoming<\/strong><\/td><td>TBA<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Achievements and Outcomes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Student<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Percentile(%ile)<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>College Converted<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Utkarsh Agrawal<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>94.26 %ile (DILR)<\/strong><\/td><td>IMT Ghaziabad, IIM AMRITSAR<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Shivani Vij<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>95 %ile<\/strong><\/td><td>MDI Gurgaon, IIM Indore, IIM Udaipur, BITSOM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Dhruv Vashistha<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>99.63%ile (QA)<\/strong><\/td><td>IIFT<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Aarchie Singhal<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>99.82%ile (VARC)<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>IIM Udaipur<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*Percentile reported by Catmock students<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catmock&#8217;s student testimonies have verified results and are more important than marketing speeches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strong performance of students in various MBA entrance examinations led to their admission to prestigious institutes. Several students achieved outstanding percentiles in specific sections or overall exams, leading to admissions offers from top business schools. For example, <strong>Utkarsh Agrawal<\/strong> secured 94.26 percentile in DILR and converted to IMT Ghaziabad and IIM Amritsar, while <strong>Shivani Vij<\/strong> achieved 95 percentile and received offers from MDI Gurgaon, IIM Indore, IIM Udaipur, and BITSOM. <strong>Dhruv Vashistha<\/strong> scored 99.63 percentile in QA and the admissions committee at IIFT admitted him.. Other notable achievements include admissions to IIM Raipur, IIM Udaipur, and IIFT, demonstrating excellent exam performance and successful MBA admissions outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, students often mention the post-test analysis as the factor that had the most impact, rather than just the mocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Makes Catmock Different?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28.png 940w, https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-300x131.png 300w, https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-768x334.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditional coaching institutes frequently combine classroom sessions and practice examinations into one high-priced package. Before they can determine whether the teaching approach truly works for them, students usually commit to this package for months. However, Catmock&#8217;s free tier virtually eliminates such inconsistencies.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, because a certain site limits classroom batches, traditional institutes are typically restricted to that location. Catmock, on the other hand, eliminates that barrier because everything occurs online. Therefore, a student in a small town has access to the same mentors and mock quality as a student in a big urban centre. For aspirants who are comfortable with self-paced online learning, Catmock often delivers similar or better outcomes at a fraction of the cost. Other free platforms compromise post-test depth or question quality. Students specifically point out that Catmock&#8217;s mocks closely resemble the real CAT in terms of time constraints, difficulty level, and pattern. As a result, candidates who use this platform for practice are unlikely to encounter any startling surprises on test day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Dimension<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Catmock<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Paid Platform<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Free Alternatives<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mock quality<\/td><td><strong>9\/10<\/strong><\/td><td>7\/10<\/td><td>6\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Post-test analytics<\/td><td><strong>9\/10<\/strong><\/td><td>6.5\/10<\/td><td>4\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost efficiency<\/td><td><strong>10\/10<\/strong><\/td><td>2\/10<\/td><td>9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GDPI support<\/td><td><strong>9\/10<\/strong><\/td><td>5\/10<\/td><td>2\/10<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*Platform comparison score across key dimensions [Student Reviews]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Catmock: Features and benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-29.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-29.png 940w, https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-29-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-29-768x402.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>1. Rigorous, exam-relevant mock tests<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every CatMock mock test is designed to closely resemble the real CAT exam situation. Every test comes with comprehensive and conceptual solutions so that students know not only the right answer but also the best way to solve the problem. In contrast to generic question banks, mentors analyse the examinations on a regular basis to make sure they remain relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>2. Smart performance analytics<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catmock&#8217;s analytics engine is one of its most unnoticed features. A customised performance report breaks down accuracy, time management, and section-specific strengths and weaknesses following each test. Students can see how far they have come thanks to the automatic tracking of progress across several attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <em>Daily practice and PYQ access<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fundamental principle of CAT preparation is consistency. Every day, Catmock delivers topic-specific questions spanning Quantitative Aptitude, VARC, and DILR in its daily practice area. Additionally, CAT question papers from prior years are publicly available in the PYQ area, along with thorough, step-by-step answers that highlight pattern recognition techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <em>Free live lecture sessions<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catmock offers live sessions facilitated by subject-matter experts in addition to static content. Many students have explicitly credited Jyoti Ma&#8217;am&#8217;s VARC sessions and Vishnu Sir&#8217;s Quant lessons for providing concept-level clarity that significantly raised their scores. These sessions are provided without charge, which is extremely uncommon for platforms of this kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Students served <strong>30,000+<\/strong> Across India<\/td><td>Success rate <strong>99%<\/strong> Platform claim<\/td><td>Max mentor percentile <strong>99.5+<\/strong> Achieved multiple times<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Faculty Panel &amp; GDPI Advantage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coaching platforms often ignore preparing for personal interviews and group discussions. However, Catmock has put up a special GDPI faculty panel that includes experts with degrees from D.E. Shaw, IIFT Delhi, and IIM Calcutta. Anurag Singh offers eight years of Infosys consulting expertise, while Dr. Amit Tyagi brings twenty-two years of teaching experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is important because a high CAT score alone does not assure a B-school place. As a result, students who use Catmock to prepare for the GDPI round have the structure, self-assurance, and coaching that many of their peers\u2014including those from prestigious institutions\u2014do not. One of the best indications that Catmock designers prioritize results rather than just exam-day performance is this end-to-end methodology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Faculty<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Qualification<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Experience<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Dr. Amit Tyagi<\/strong><\/td><td>MBA &amp; PhD<\/td><td>22 years of GDPI teaching<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Anurag Singh<\/strong><\/td><td>IIM Calcutta<\/td><td>8 years \u2014 Infosys Consulting<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Jyoti Kathju<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>VARC Expert<\/td><td>25+ Years in VARC<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Vandana Chauhan<\/strong><\/td><td>GDPI Specialist<\/td><td>5+ years in GDPI classes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Aniket Dhiman<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>IIM Mumbai<\/td><td>Quantitative Aptitude specialist<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Vishnu Chaudhary<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Quants Specialist<\/td><td>99.95%iler in quants,9+ years in Quants<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Rajeev Kharbanda<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>LRDI Expert<\/td><td>15+ years in LRDI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Aman Dua<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>FMS DELHI<\/td><td>CAT Expert<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*Catmock Faculty Panel<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Easy Access to Content<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-30.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2914\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-30.png 940w, https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-30-300x128.png 300w, https:\/\/www.catmock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-30-768x327.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It only takes a few minutes to get started on the platform because you can register for free and don&#8217;t need to provide any financial information. A new student usually starts with a free mock to determine their present percentile after registering. This first score then serves as a helpful benchmark for evaluating upcoming achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The daily capsule and topic-specific practice sets then assists in the early development of consistency. Students typically advance to full-length mocks with in-depth analysis following each attempt as their confidence increases. Scheduling a one-on-one mentorship session can help candidates with questions that self-study cannot answer. &nbsp;As a result, awareness, practice, simulation, and refining are the stages that naturally follow Catmock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both qualitative and quantitative data strongly support one conclusion. Catmock offers an exam-relevant, analytics-driven, and fundamentally free preparation experience. Students from all around India have already used the portal to convert calls from prestigious universities like IIMs, MDI, and SIBM. Furthermore, no one offers free mocks, live lectures, daily practice, PYQs, and GDPI coaching on a single platform as a value proposition that is unmatched in the industry today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catmock is worth using as your main preparation companion, whether of whether you are just beginning your CAT adventure or are a re-aspirant aiming for a higher percentile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently asked questions (FAQs)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Q1.
