List of CAT Tutorials: The Leaders

I have divided the CAT tutorial providers into 4 buckets:

  1. Leaders: These are the super boys in the CAT coaching club. They have nationwide presence, large distribution network, financial muscle and what not.
  2. Challengers: These are niche players or new players who may one day become the leaders or also ran.
  3. Also Ran: These are yesterday's leaders and resemble a shaggy lion who was once an able bodied male. The statement "khandahar bata rahein hain ki imarat kabhi buland thi"...is basically a fitting tribute to them. They are a shadow of their former self.
  4. Dogs: These players never mattered much. They are best ignored like straye dogs, pests and flies on the ground. I wouldnt even bother to compile the list of dogs!

So here is the list of leaders:

  1. T.I.M.E: Nothing much to say...they are the 800 lb gorilla in the market.
  2. Career Launchers: Nothing much to say either...they are the 600 lb gorilla in the market.
  3. IMS: These guys have been around for a long time and they were numero uno at one point not so far back in the past. I think T.I.M.E and CL have blown way past them. Watch out IMS! You dont want to end up in the "Also Ran" bucket.
  4. Career Forum: Well they are not a gorilla. Not just yet but I will classify them as leaders never-the-less because of their nation wide presence.
  5. PT Education: PT just about makes the cut for being a leader. I say they lack brain power (they are not known for their content) but have the necessary brawn (ambition man!) to expand their distribution. Strong in certain regions but lack a nation wide brand and profile.
