Mentorship-led CAT preparation with weekly structure and direct, continuous feedback.
Cohort starts 8 March | 45 seats | Applications reviewed on a rolling basis
A Structured Preparation Program for Aspirants Targeting Top B-Schools
Seats are intentionally limited so mentors can stay closely involved.
Program Overview
The UNMUG CAT Cohort 2026 is a structured preparation program focused on building depth, consistency, and clarity over time—rather than short bursts of effort or last-minute preparation.
The program runs through the year with a clear weekly rhythm, covering concept building, practice, feedback, and course correction, so preparation remains focused and directional at every stage.
Each week follows a defined preparation cycle, removing ambiguity around what to study, practice, and review.
This structure removes guesswork from day-to-day preparation and helps aspirants build consistency over time rather than relying on irregular bursts of effort.
Live sessions focus on explaining concepts, approaches, and application strategies.
Practice is integrated alongside learning, ensuring concepts are reinforced through regular problem-solving rather than deferred to later stages of preparation.
Regular review and feedback help aspirants identify performance patterns, understand gaps, and adjust their approach as needed.
This keeps preparation responsive and aligned with progress rather than becoming mechanical or disconnected from actual progress.

Time Commitment & Weekly Effort
The program is designed to be manageable alongside work or college commitments, with a clear and predictable weekly effort expected from students.
Live sessions: Approximately 3–6 hours per week, scheduled at night and on weekends
Practice and preparation: Around 4–8 hours per week for solving questions and preparing the 2–5 page notes for each topic

Overall, students should plan to dedicate 12–18 hours per week, depending on individual pace, strengths, and areas that need additional focus.
Who This Program Is For
This program is designed for aspirants who want structure, clarity, and direction throughout their CAT preparation—not just access to content.
It is a strong fit if you:
Are preparing seriously for CAT 2026
Want a structured preparation path rather than self-planned or scattered study
Are balancing preparation alongside work or college
Want regular feedback, doubt resolution, and mentor guidance, not just recorded lectures
Are comfortable committing consistent weekly effort
Value clarity in approach and decision-making
This program works best for aspirants who want to understand what they are doing and why, and who are comfortable following a defined process over several months.
This program may not be the right fit if you:
Are looking only for short-term or last-minute preparation
Prefer fully self-paced learning with minimal interaction or guidance
Are unwilling to commit time regularly for practice, revision, and mock analysis
Expect shortcuts, tricks, or score guarantees without sustained effort
Who This Program Is Not For
Mentorship & Individual Support
Mentorship in this program is designed to support students through the decision points and uncertainty that naturally arise during CAT preparation.
Students have access to one-on-one mentoring sessions that can be used at different stages of preparation—whether to review performance, recalibrate strategy, address stagnation, or discuss broader academic and career direction.
These sessions are not tied to a fixed schedule. Students are encouraged to use them when they feel the need for guidance, especially during periods such as mock analysis, sectional performance dips, or shifts in preparation strategy.
In addition to individual sessions, mentors remain closely involved throughout the program—tracking progress, identifying patterns in performance, and offering direction when course correction is required.
The intent is not to over-mentor, but to ensure that students are not navigating critical preparation decisions alone.
