T.I.M.E.’s
Correspondence Course is the closest that one can get to a classroom
programme for CAT preparation. This course has been prepared based on our
experience, more than a decade-and-a-half in successfully training more
than Eight lakh students for CAT and other Entrance exams. The well-researched
course material in our Correspondence Course ensures comprehensive coverage of
all basic concepts, with solved examples, short-cuts and strategies for improvement
of performance. The basic concepts that are taught in the classroom sessions,
covering various test areas are put together in the form of booklets that will
ensure that you derive the same benefits as from the classroom programme.
You are given a lot of practice tests, on different topics, covering all the test areas.
Our study material and test papers are prepared after carefully researching test papers of
previous years, ensuring that you get the best and most relevant course material.
This is also revised and updated each year to ensure that you get material that
accurately reflects the latest paper pattern
Our course material is widely acknowledged by students as the most exhaustive and up-to-date in the market.
The CAT 2012 Correspondence course – Regular is aimed at students who prefer to prepare on their own since
self-study is more effective when
supplemented by a series of tests in a simulated environment, followed by regular analysis of performance.
This helps students gauge their progress, in comparison with students all over the country, at each stage
of their preparation.

The course enables the students to learn at a pace that is convenient to them. The material is comprehensive and developed with great care to ensure phased learning. Every module has been developed keeping in mind the various patterns and question types that have appeared over several years. Developed by experts, the study material coherently helps the student develop the skills required in different areas. The large number of practice exercises creates test conditions and also provide vital practice. These exercises are supplemented by detailed explanations.
In addition, there is a Study Plan made by our experts and included as a part of the Course Material. This Study Plan helps you pace your preparation properly.
Basic Study Material
Our material is comprehensive and designed to help the students grasp the subject matter in all the test areas, viz., Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation, Data Sufficiency, Logical Reasoning, Verbal Ability, Verbal Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. Therefore students who go through the material diligently and practice regularly will be able to deal with all the common patterns of questions. Our material is designed to help the students build their speed and accuracy consistently over a period of time.
Test papers and Practice exercises:
Students can test themselves with the number of exhaustive tests that we provide in our material. Taken over a period of time, these tests help the students assess their strengths and weaknesses and identify areas for improvement. This is extremely important in building confidence and reducing stress and exam-fear in students. It is, however, important to note that after every test, the student has to analyze where he or she requires putting in effort (in which areas and in what type of problems).
AIMCATs
We at T.I.M.E. believe that the best way to test one’s abilities is in the simulated environment of the AIMCATs (All India Mock CATs).The All India MOCK CATs (AIMCATs) are exceptional tools devised by T.I.M.E. for candidates serious about the CAT.
Every one of these tests is specially designed, with question combinations that cover all the test areas and various question types that have appeared in the CAT over the years particularly in the recent past. You will get a detailed analysis of the exam and every student’s performance. This helps you compare yourself against the others in the arena. There is detailed analysis carried out for every AIMCAT.
Some of the AIMCATs will be conducted online through the Student Home Page on www.time4education.com. Some of the AIMCATs will be conducted online at designated centers under invigilation. Your preparation for the CAT is incomplete without taking these tests as a majority of these test being computer based tests.
The AIMCATs’ schedule with details of date and venue (for the online invigilated and Paper based tests) will be communicated and uploaded on the student home page. The schedule will also be made available on the Student Home Page of our website, www.time4education.com. At the time of enrolment, the student will be given the option of taking the AIMCATs at his residence (through online) or taking them at a centre of his/her choice (out of the centres where T.I.M.E. conducts AIMCATs). The student can specify his/her option on the “AIMCAT Centre Option sheet” given to him/her alongwith the enrolment form (click here to view the list of all the centres where T.I.M.E. conducts AIMCATs).
OMETs (Other Management Entrance Tests for the Tests of Institutes other than CAT):
Students would apply to many institutes like XLRI (XAT), IIFT, SNAP, NMAT, MAT, etc. that do not accept CAT scores for their selection process. These institutes conduct their own entrance tests. Therefore students would have to prepare keeping in mind the patterns of these tests. T.I.M.E., as a part of the preparation for such entrance tests would be providing the students with OMETs (Other Managment Entrance Tests), which are model tests on the same lines as these entrance exams.
OMETs provide additional practice and deal with areas that other institutes would test. Management entrance exams have different types of questions and every year there are variations in patterns. The OMETs provide the student a chance to get used to these variations and face any question pattern confidently. Correspondence students will receive the OMETs material in the last week of November.
Magazine - MBA Education & Careers:
A student preparing for admission into Indian B-schools must keep abreast of national and international events. Some written tests like SNAP, IIFT, IRMA, etc (the CAT does not have a section on General Awareness) have a section devoted to questions on Current events and Business Awareness. Moreover the GD, Essay & PI process includes student's opinions and ideas on relevant current issues. Again, the fact that last minute study is not a reality, spreading this over the period of the course enables the student to be more aware and attuned to all the facets of the selection process. "ME&C" is a T.I.M.E. publication aimed at providing students with significant information in the form of company profiles, ideas from prominent people in various fields. In addition to these, there are articles on current affairs, quizzes and reviews that are aimed at improving the skills of the students.
