Am i late to start prep for cat 2026

Asked by Anonymous on 2026-06-24 in CAT Prep

I m bsc graduate with zoology , I was preparing for neet along side but due to reneet and and attempting for 3 times now i was searching for anything else I can prepare or so other than neet , i searched some options and found a cat most fascinating one but as reneet I got late by one more month , and as it's now 24 june and cat in nov approx 6 month would be enough time to prepare.
Please reply to my confusions:
1. Is cat worthy for a bio student , can I get really a placement or job after completing MBA or i would be sideline by btech and commerce students.Do bio students get a job or not .
2. Would it be too hard for Bio ( non math) student to prepare for cat .
3. How to prepare for cat like should I join a institute and follow it's modules to complete the syllabus first then mock test ?

Or buy some books for each section and solve them and then any institute mock test

4. Am i late for prep for 2026
6 month is enough or should I think for next year.

I'm a zoology graduate myself. And that earns you extra advantage for being a non-engineer. MBA schools love to have diversity. The competition for engineers is rather very high but for us non-engineers it's a bit low. So it's definitely worth it, have no doubts regarding that. And no you're not late. 5 to 6 months is enough for CAT if you study consistently for 4-6 hours everyday as it is an aptitude based test. You're not mugging up a lot of syllabus as you do in NEET. It's all about clearing concepts and practice. There are three sections- First VARC- Google and start reading Aeon essays and also solve previous year RCs alongwith the RCs that are available in this very platform, You'll find so many RCs in other places as well. Once you get good in RC, then start incorporating Verbal ability. And then we have QUANTS- For these master Arithmetic and Algebra...alongwith number system....and you'll be good. Whether you do geometry and modern math, that is entirely upto you. And for LRDI- Arrangements, Games and tournaments, Tables and Charts....master these topics. Use the resources provided in this platform and you won't face any issues. For Arithmetic, Algebra and Number system- Search up MBA pathshala in youtube anf you'll find enough content. Stay confident and consistent, mate.

I don't think you will face trouble with math because you have enough habit of approaching questions and calculations while solving physics.
