Where can I join CAT coaching in Kolkata?

EduShastra runs weekday and weekend CAT batches at Acharya J. C. Bose College, Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Rd, Kolkata, West Bengal-700014. You can also study the same course live online from home anywhere in Kolkata.

Should I choose classroom CAT coaching or online CAT coaching from Kolkata?

Online saves commute time and follows the same four-phase course with the same teachers. Choose the A.J.C. Bose Road classroom if you prefer studying in person. Pick whichever fits your routine.

Can working professionals in Kolkata prepare for CAT with EduShastra?

Yes. Batches run on weekdays and weekends, in the morning or evening, depending on the centre, and live online classes let you study from home. Ask for current batch options.

What is EduShastra's Entrance Mapping Test?

The Mapping Test is an IQ-based (not knowledge-based) test used to segment students into one of five percentile groups. No preparation is required. It measures innate aptitude so we can place you in the batch that matches your current ability.

What is the Apex-25 batch and how is it different from Elite batches?

Apex-25 batches have a maximum of 25 students (vs. 150+ in Elite). Each Apex batch has 8-9 dedicated teachers, creating a 1:3 teacher-student ratio. Admission is through a merit-based Entrance Mapping Test.

What does 'Lifetime Validity' mean?

Once enrolled in an Apex-25 batch, you can retake the full course (all classes, tests and sessions) as many times as needed at zero additional cost. The goal is to ensure you hit your target percentile, not just complete a course.

How does the +99%ile or fee refund promise work?

If you complete the full course requirements and don't achieve the guaranteed percentile for your batch series, you receive a full fee refund. Read the full terms on the Money-Back Promise page before you enroll.

Can I start with a free course before committing?

Yes. EduShastra offers a Free Live Hybrid Course for CAT that covers the full syllabus, so you can experience the teaching style, faculty and platform before upgrading to Elite Plus or Apex-25.

What are the sections in CAT?

CAT has 3 sections: VARC (Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension), DILR (Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning) and QA (Quantitative Ability). Each section is timed at 40 minutes, for a total of 2 hours. Correct answers get +3 marks and wrong MCQs get -1 mark; TITA questions carry no negative marking.

Why EduShastra

Our model is built on six scientific pillars that set it apart from the "mass-batching" methods often found in franchise-led models.

Ability-Based Learning Model

Instead of focusing on syllabus completion, the focus is on shifting a student's "Ability Quotient". Progress is dictated by performance benchmarks, ensuring mastery at every stage.

Adaptive Four-Phase Structure

Aspirants progress through Mapping, Foundation, Testing, and Control, a structure that identifies and rectifies individual cognitive gaps in real-time.

1:3 Teacher-Student Advantage

In elite Apex-25 batches, the ratio is maintained at an unprecedented 1:3, providing hyper-personalized mentorship that ensures even the most granular doubts are addressed.

IQ-Mapped Homogeneous Batching

Students are grouped into batches (Series 6-10) based on their current IQ and skill parity, optimizing the competitive learning environment for "Peer-Group Parity".

Philanthropic Lifetime Validity

Rooted in its mission as a philanthropic group, EduShastra offers lifetime validity. Students pay once and can repeat course cycles until they achieve their target score, removing financial barriers to success.

Performance-Linked Guarantee

Demonstrating absolute confidence in its scientific pedagogy, the group offers a money-back guarantee if a student does not achieve their scientifically predicted performance level after completing the program.

CAT Course Structure

All the CAT courses whether regular or customized are unique in their structure.

All Phases of the course are designed to be as personalized as a “One-on-One” Instruction.

All Courses are divided into four phases:

01
Introductory or Mapping Phase

(One-on-One Stage)

This phase is employed at the beginning and usually takes 2-4 sessions. In this phase, CAT Instructors try to analyze every student in the batch by their interaction with them. This step takes 10% of total course time.
02
Foundation Phase

(Batch Stage)

It covers basics of all sections of CAT. This phase is around 20-50% of the whole course.
03
Testing Phase

(One-on-One Stage)

This phase involves Computer Adaptive Tests, Computer Based Tests, and Paper Based Tests. Every course comes with a commitment of “Minimum Tests” i.e. a minimum number of tests which a student has to attempt to complete the course.
04
Control Phase

(One-on-One Stage)

This last Phase is to look into any gaps in test preparation.
