With e-learning being the modern buzzword, preparation for Common Admission Test (CAT) too goes digital and online free, thanks to an initiative by tcyonline.com that has made this facility possible for the MBA aspirants.
Following an ‘overwhelming’ response from the students to its CAT-2008 free online course launched about a month back, the company has launched its next free course-batch to ‘augment’ students’ classroom learning experience.
The initial batches received so much response against the available 250 seats that the company had to start another free batch. Speed being the key factor for an entry to coveted IIMs and other B-schools in the country, tcyonline.com initially started with speed and vocabulary buildup. Tailor-made to the needs of an average student, audio lectures are supplemented by continuous assessment through plenty of online tests.
Elaborating on the course concept, the CEO of tcyonline.com, Mr. Kamal Wadhera, said, “It’s all about best benchmarking and augmenting classroom learning. Once a student takes these online tests, he would be in a better position to judge himself and know his grey areas.
“We are providing a wonderful platform to students through which they can interact with other students and teachers anytime and anywhere in the country. I don’t think there can be a better way to prepare for CAT,” Mr. Wadhera added.
This unique course, the first of its kind in the country, is also backed by live online technical support and subject-wise online help by CAT experts. Equal stress is being laid on Quant and Verbal Aptitude, Data Analysis, and Logical Reasoning.
Course salient features:
• Vocabulary and speed reading buildup• Digital audio lectures and online tests• Live online technical support• Subject-wise backing by CAT experts• Downloadable topic-wise notes.• Test-wise analysis and nationwide ranking• Mock CATs and previous year’s original papers
It is worth noting that mock tests and original papers of the other exams like FMS, SNAP, XAT are also available on the website. There are also online business awareness quizzes for IIFT, SNAP, IRMA and MAT.
CAT experts advise the students to first work on their basics and graduate to mock and chapter-wise tests after two-three months. Since there is always a surprise element in a CAT exam, keeping in view a steady shift from formula-based to reasoning-based questions during the last couple of years, these types of online tests can better prepare them to face any eventuality.
