CAT Online Coaching Fees for 2026

Compare the exact course, not only the institute name. A year-long live programme, a recorded package and a short revision course include different teaching and support. Prices below are the providers' displayed offers on 9 October 2026.

IMS lists an 18% GST amount of INR 5,121 on its INR 28,450 fee, making INR 33,571 before any applicable waiver. Career Launcher lists GST separately for Sprint. The T.I.M.E. and Cracku prices above do not establish a separate tax calculation.

Cracku lists self-study at INR 5,999, its crash course at INR 8,499 and the crash course with five books at INR 12,999. These are separate packages, not three prices for an identical product. Course fees are also separate from the CAT examination fee.

Classes, Mocks and Mentoring

A large test count can include several entrance exams. IMS Focused Live, for example, advertises 88 ADMAT mocks in addition to its CAT tests. Those 88 are not extra CAT mocks.

T.I.M.E. Online-Flexi lists 15 other management-entrance tests separately from its 35 AIMCATs. Career Launcher's Sprint course is different from its longer CAT Night Classes Express and MBA Night Classes Express programmes. Compare the named package rather than combining the strongest feature from each variant.

The value of a solution session lies in the explanation of the decision: why an RC option goes beyond the passage, why a DILR case is impossible, or when a QA shortcut applies. A recording count alone does not reveal that.

Live, Recorded or Crash Course?

For a concept gap, inspect a complete lesson and its exercise. For a selection problem, inspect a timed sectional and its review. If you understand solutions but cannot begin fresh questions, another explanation library may not solve the missing attempt-and-review step.

Cracku's 45-day course is scheduled to start on 12 October 2026, with weekday classes at 7:30 PM. The IMS Focused Live page lists a batch that started on 8 March; that is not an October batch-start promise. Ask what a late enrolment includes before paying.

The online preparation guide connects lessons with fresh questions and timed sections. You can also compare actual titles and editions in CAT books when a concept resource is the only gap.

Course Year, Discounts and Access

A provider can sell CAT 2026 and CAT 2027 programmes at the same time. Career Launcher's general online-classes page currently features 2027 products; the 2026 comparison here uses its separate crash-course offering.

A scholarship, alumni waiver or promotional code can have eligibility and payment conditions. Keep the base fee, discount and tax as separate lines in a quotation. A lower banner price is not your payable total until the selected course and applicable discount are clear.

For a book bundle, establish whether delivery and digital access are included. For interview support, establish whether it is included, optional or activated later. IMS Focused Live describes a separate post-CAT re-registration step for its online PI support; T.I.M.E. labels GWPI preparation optional for Online-Flexi.

Use the course's own cancellation and refund terms before paying. A marks claim, topper photograph or marketing guarantee is not a substitute for those terms.

Devices and Mock-Test Experience

IMS states that its tests require a laptop or desktop. Being able to watch a class on a phone does not establish that every test works on it. Check the test player, keyboard answer entry and calculator on the device you will use.

The standard CAT lasts 120 minutes, with 40 minutes each for VARC, DILR and QA. The official interface mock is scheduled for 12 November. It familiarises candidates with the test process; its questions do not forecast the final paper.

Use the CAT mock-test guide to separate a short drill, a sectional and a complete mock. A commercial course's test percentile is based on its own participants and is not an official CAT percentile.
