Best CAT Coachings for CAT 2026 Preparation 🚀

Overview

The presenter compares CAT coaching options using six criteria:

• Faculty quality — the most important factor, in the presenter’s view.
• Study material — its quality and usefulness, not just its volume.
• Mock tests — their quality and the test-platform experience.
• Fees — whether the coaching offers value for money.
• Doubt solving — how quickly and effectively questions are answered.
• YouTube content — the quality of free lessons and guidance.

The presenter strongly recommends attending demo lectures before enrolling and choosing a program based on whether its teaching style suits you. They note that most assessments are based on feedback from other students rather than their own experience studying in these programs.

Coaching Assessments

CATKing

The presenter praises Sumit Sir and the VRC teaching, but notes frequent faculty changes as a reported drawback. They find CATKing’s YouTube videos and motivational live sessions useful, though they recommend doing further research before joining.

Unacademy

Unacademy offers a large selection of teachers, allowing students to choose instructors. However, that variety may make it difficult to know whom to follow. The presenter criticizes the content quality and mock-test interface, and suggests using Unacademy’s free YouTube content rather than joining the program.

iQuanta

The presenter speaks positively about Amit Sir for Quant and Shabana Ma’am for VRC, and also describes the DILR instruction as good. Reported strengths include fast doubt resolution, mocks with AI analysis, and separate foundation modules for engineers and non-engineers.

The presenter also notes the plentiful study material and free YouTube resources, and considers iQuanta worth exploring through demo lectures.

MBA Wallah

Called “MBA one” in the subtitles, MBA Wallah is presented as a budget option. The presenter praises Rahul Sir’s Quant teaching and the VRC instruction, but identifies DILR as a weakness.

The mock-test interface is described as poor, with some questions reportedly unrelated or unsuitable. The presenter recommends considering MBA Wallah for affordable Quant preparation and using its free content.

Elites Grid

Honey Sir and the Quant and DILR teaching receive positive mentions. VRC is described as a pain point, while doubt solving is said to be decent. The presenter recommends trying demo classes and using Elites Grid’s free YouTube material.

Rodha

The presenter describes Rodha as an established option and praises its free YouTube content, study material, teaching, and decent mocks. One caveat is that Ravi Sir, the face of Rodha, does not teach every batch. Students should check who teaches the batch they are considering.

“Are an Academy”

The name is unclear in the auto-generated subtitles. The presenter praises Raman Sir for Quant and Lokesh Sir for VRC. The academy is described as relatively new, having started about a year earlier. The presenter suggests considering it while keeping its newer status in mind and notes that it offers free YouTube content.

Mock-Test Advice

The presenter recommends taking mock tests separately from coaching if needed:

• IMS is the presenter’s top recommendation.
• Career Launcher (CL) is another option, particularly for students taking two mock series.
• Cracku is mentioned as a possible third choice or a more affordable option.

Promotion and Closing

The presenter promotes their QA Demon course and mentorship as an option for CAT preparation, directing viewers to a link in the description or pinned comment. They also invite viewers to comment or contact them with questions and to follow them on social media.
