#1 Personalised Coaching

Route99 prioritizes personalized coaching over revenue maximization. With just 15 students per batch, each aspirant receives dedicated faculty attention, customized study plans, and individual doubt-solving sessions. Unlike competitors with 100-150 students per batch, our small batch size ensures no student gets overlooked, guaranteeing better engagement and superior learning outcomes for CAT success.

Absolutely! CAT welcomes all graduates—engineers, commerce, arts, and science students. Non-engineers comprising 65% of CAT takers excel particularly in Verbal Ability. IIMs offer diversity points to non-engineers, lowering cutoff thresholds. With Route99's personalized approach, students from any background receive customized guidance to crack CAT and secure top B-school admissions successfully.

Start CAT preparation 8-12 months before the November exam, ideally by March-April. This timeline allows thorough concept building, completing the syllabus by August, and taking 30-50 mock tests through October. Working professionals can start earlier with 5-6 hours weekly study. However, even 4-6 months intensive preparation with expert guidance can yield excellent results with Route99.

IIM admission percentile requirements vary by category: Top IIMs (ABC) need 98-99+ (General), 95-97 (OBC), 80-90 (SC/ST). Mid-tier IIMs require 95-97 (General), 90-93 (OBC). Percentile alone isn't enough; final admission depends on WAT, GD, PI performance, academics, and diversity factors combined with CAT score.

CAT isn't inherently difficult—it tests high-school-level concepts. The challenge lies in time pressure, competition, and negative marking rather than concept complexity. Success requires strategic preparation, not genius. Achieving 95 percentile needs only 24 correct answers from 66 questions. With consistent effort, proper guidance, and Route99's personalized coaching, CAT becomes completely manageable.

Coaching provides structured curriculum, expert mentorship, doubt resolution, mock tests, and peer learning—significantly accelerating preparation. Self-study works only with strong self-discipline and existing knowledge. Route99 combines coaching benefits with personalized mentorship through small batches of 15 students, offering customized study plans and individual attention that maximize your success chances.
