CAT 2025: Last 48 Hours Countdown Begins
The final countdown for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2025 has officially begun, with less than two days remaining until the exam on Sunday, November 30th. Aspirants for admission to the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and other top B-schools are advised to switch focus from learning new material to final revision. Experts recommend concentrating on short notes, formulas, and mock test analysis. Crucially, candidates must ensure their Admit Card and a valid photo ID are ready. Prioritize getting adequate sleep and staying calm. Focus on a clear mindset and maintaining composure, as these factors will be key to success on exam day.

Mission & Vision
EduShastra mission is to provide a complete solution to every student. Each student is provided specialized, one-on-one services from the beginning (Choosing Business School) to end (Securing Admission). Customized 1-on-1 services are provided in all admission facets such as Profile evaluation, Personality development, Admission counseling, Editing of applications, etc. Our comprehensive database ensures scientific school selection that is customized to your requirements.
Teaching Model
We have “Hybrid Customized Interactive teaching model”. We believe that Education should be interactive, two-dimensional, personalized and should be tailored to every student.
All of our courses are “A blend of Online home classes & Classroom-coaching”. When we say Online, it means “Live Virtual Class”. We don’t offer recorded lectures or animations.
For Offline Classroom mode, we have collaborated with schools all over India. We utilize their classrooms in the evenings or weekends to conduct classes.
Individualized Learning v/s Herd Teaching
We believe that education should be individualized and it should not be what coaching centers do. Most of the educational companies practice “Herd Teaching” in which they make large batches to maximize their profits.
We specialize in a method of teaching in which content, instructional technology, and pace of learning are based upon the abilities and interests of each learner. We try to recognize the uniqueness of each learner and thus we provide adequate tutorial guidance, and other services to bring about a wholesome development in the person. The ultimate goal is to provide a learning environment that maximizes the potential for student success.
All courses are designed to be a “One-on-One” teaching.
Admission Standard Operating Procedure
Every new student is mapped into a “Zero Group” for a week. Zero group is also called “Introductory Phase Group”. After a week, based on everyone’s performance in “Mapping Phase”, students are divided into five different IQ groups.
Our Internal Mapping System is a process to mark or rate students on the basis of their Intellect, Intelligence (IQ), Aptitude, Attitude, and Commitment.
Our Mapping system also helps us in making “Homogeneous Batches”. Similarly mapped students are grouped into the same batches.
Batch Selection Methodology
We follow a scientific selection process in batch-allocation. Batches are made based on the student’s “IQ Parameter Mapping”. Same mapped students are grouped into the same batch. In this way, we create homogenous groups in terms of Intellect, Intelligence (IQ), Aptitude, Attitude, and Commitment.
The primary objective of this initiative is to ensure “Education for All.” We are committed to delivering high-quality education at the most affordable cost. Our classes are accessible to any student who is eager to learn. The course offers a combination of Live Online and Classroom sessions that are available throughout the year. Students have the flexibility to choose between Weekday or Weekend classes, as well as Morning or Evening sessions. This allows them to tailor their learning experience according to their preferences and availability. Our aim is to provide inclusive and convenient educational opportunities, enabling all students to pursue their learning goals effectively.

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:
- Introductory or Mapping Phase (One-on-One Stage): This phase is employed at the beginning and usually takes 2-4 sessions. In this phase, GMCAT Instructors try to analyze every student in the batch by their interaction with them. This step takes 10% of total course time.
- Foundation Phase (Batch Stage): It covers basics of all sections of CAT & GMAT. This phase is around 20-50% of the whole course.
- 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.
- Control Phase (One-on-One Stage): This last Phase is to look into any gaps in test preparation.
What is the maximum number of Tests offered?
No Limit. We don’t assign it to a numerical value. The objective of Testing Phase is to improve student’s ability. Tests for any student will not stop till we see desired results.
The primary objective of Testing Phase is to search for student’s ‘Optimal saturation level’. This stage can also be defined as a stage where Concept, Application and Practice variable will not have any effect on the score.
