Books for CAT preparation

Trishna's book is i guess TIMES publication,I bought it from TIME center.
Its almost similar to TIME study material. though i did not solve much of it but the explanation and formula's given are quite similar ( note : its not same, in few chapters its like copy paste word but word )

Thanks for that..
Can you please tell me how much do they cost and are all the three of them worth buying?

Sorry dude, I don't remember the cost. I suggest you can get the TIME center's number from their website. Call them and check with them.

And note that If you are time student you do get some discount on it.

And as far as books quality and usefulness is concern, well i haven't used them enough to comment on it. Check with your seniors if any of them have used it.

I think it is a case of printing gone wrong dude.You might find the remaining geometry section towards the end,where the CAT,XAT papers are given.My Sarvesh Verma QA Book is fine.:thumbsup:

Anybody in Pune need TIME/IMS material plz contact me @

Personally my favourite is Quantum CAT by Sarvesh Kumar Verma. Really, helped me in getting rid of my Quanto phobia.
Also, people can look forward to Demystefying Number System, those who look forward to mastering Number System. Though, i found it way too exhaustive.

Quantum CAT has questions of various levels.Initial levels are very easy,i dont think CAT,XAT,JMET etc will ever ask such questions.It has only one section that has tough questions..Arun Sharma has got quality questions,although there r mistakes in the answers that are given.Still,the question level is too good.IMO,go 4 Arun Sharma Quant book :cheerio:

you will find the list of some of the most amazing books ever written here.

Hi all. I am from BYJU's classes and we don't get enough study material either in the hardcopy format or online. So if you could suggest some books for LR/DI/DS and VA specifically, it would be really helpful. I have purchased SK Verma for QA. I urgently need something for DI and VA. Really hoping for useful replies. Thanks. 😃

Books which will help you to score better in written

On a serious note, there are no such specific books apart from those provided by various coaching institutes..you just need to have an awareness about what is happening around you and you should try to formulate your own opinions about them...also you should try asking questions to yourself constantly like ''why i am going for mba''?( trust me only this will make the difference )
practicing mock gd/pi will be the finishing touch.

This post may be a little out of context; but I am looking to donate my prep material to some sincere puy :D

Current city of location : Pune / I can also transport the material to Mumbai

Material details: Since I have been preparing from 2008, I have amassed huge amount of test/mock papers (CAT+CET+XAT+SNAP) from various institutes. I had joined TIME in 2008 and have the entire study material from them and then took a class with Byju for Quant and DI last year

If anyone interested please PM me asap.
