Hello Kolkata Puys,
I am starting this thread so that Puys living in Kolkata can interact with each other, share study material (without any commercial angle) and get benefited from the mutual competition. I hope each one of you will post your questions,doubts regarding coaching classes, share tricks or whatever you think can boost our/your CAT preparation. Those of whom have a prior CAT experience please share it here so that one can take valuable lessons from it. We hope to have weekly meetings once we have a big enough group of arduous CAT aspirants.
Meanwhile please refrain from sharing your contact details here please do not involve yourself in personal fights. No Advertisement and No spamming please.

Are you guys joining any coaching institutes?
hey count me in...
and sure we can help each other...
M planning to join a test series..... either time or career launcher...
Plz suggest...
Join Both!! if u wanna select only 1 then has to be career launcher..
n count me in
Well as coaching centers Time and Cl rules the roost. But in TIME, they enroll more people than their faculty system can support. Believe, while many of teacher are very dexterous, few of the teachers are just not upto the mark. In simple words, faculty student ratio is low and its crowded, or else everything is cool.
CL:- Spaciousness and the English teacher Madhu Maam clearly steals the show.
Regarding the test series it is still early days as the tests begin in the month of July!
kudos to all!
Any idea about erudite?
In my opinion joining full time coaching classes is waste of time more than it is waste of money. CAT is an aptitude exam and questions being asked are really basic. These shortcuts fundey given by coaching class are useless.
Just solve any quant, LRDI material to get the idea of topics and to get basic concepts. For VA solve Gmat material. after that just practice more and more test papers. Use the time not wasted in attending coaching classes, to solve more mocks. Analyse evey mock.
Join test series of CL,IMS and Time. IMS will really help in VA.
Thread only 1 page ka hi kyun??? Is there any other thread running with Kolkata study group or what??
Guys why isnt this thread up n runnng? I was going through threads of other cities. They are already holding pg meets
. I searched but there wasnt any such thread for kolkata. :nono:
Regarding coaching, I totally second Abhishek_Sharma.[ Actually its great to see that a DT member like him has poured in with precious comments.].:)
Dont waste money & time on coaching. Just solve time LRDI and Quant material religiously. Follow quant thread here. For VA, I would say, dont devote too much time on random VOCAB,[ I committed this mistake last year] rather practice "commonly confused words". For Rc etc, abhishek sir did mention about GMAT material. I dont have any idea about that. If abhishek sir could just share some material or if any of you have got hold of any GMAT material then please share it here.
And yes, I would say everyone here please create an account on tcyonline [free register]. There are thousands of tests there, from all sections. The pattern is such multiple users can together challenge each other simultaneously on any one selected topic, say rc. Then the test starts, with the scoreboard f all the users being displayed at the top right corner of the screen.. Its fun to cmpete like that, plus the advantage is u get to compare ur performances ur speed etc with that of others. The only disadvantage is as free users u wont get access to the solutions .
P:S:-Some one please start a thread for kolkata pg meets..
regards,
Koustav.

Hi everyone,:)
This is bando here.It is a really great venture to start a thread like this.There a almost thousands CAT aspirants from kolkata and this maybe a really helpful discussion group if we all pitch in our efforts for our own good.
Personally i think we should share a bit of our past experiences(if you have any),for better information sharing and also to help people aspiring to bell the CAT for the first time.
Plz guys we have to make this thread much much more active....
@Cognizant81- but are we supposed to clutter such a sacred thread like kdt with amateur discussions.?? :wow::wow:I have always followed the dt threads, but never posted just out of fear..:shock::shock:

allan89 Says@Cognizant81- but are we supposed to clutter such a sacred thread like kdt with amateur discussions.??
as a member of the KDT 11, I can assure you that everyone is welcome in the dt threads...may be a bit specific in your input will help to communicate faster :)
also if you are following the kdt thread, you must aware that it is only last sunday we have a meet...& I posted about that much early so that anyone can attend( & obviously everyone is welcome in any meet) :grin:
regarding particular thread for the meets, we do have a separate thread for pg kolkata meets but people seems to be using the kdt thread for same purpose for some time...so that thread has now became useless
edit : thread link for last year's pg meet http://www.pagalguy.com/discussions/kolkata-pg-meets-season-2011-2012-25066978
thread link for kolkata discussions http://www.pagalguy.com/discussions/cat-2011-kolkata-discussions-25064343
though it seems both the threads are now inactive!
