List of CAT Tutorials: The Challangers (Online only)

Since CAT has gone online...number of web based CAT tutorials and Test Series providers have mushroomed. It reminds me of the dot com days when a number of players emerged with a similar business model and many of these players failed to survive when the expected number of users failed to materialize. I suspect the same fate will befall most of these guys too. Barring 2-3 most will not survive. I can also visualize the scenario where 1 or may be even 2 of these players (or maybe a new entrant in online world) will make it big. Perhaps big enough to challenge the more established classroom players. So without much ado...lets review the list. Here we go:

1. Test Funda (http://www.testfunda.com): The most well known online site. Good prep material as well as test UI. Very very focused on CAT. Very active community too...but why do I get the feeling that most of the users are dummy users?
2. TopCATCoaching (http://www.topcatcoaching.com): Clean UI and good test material. Very good reports. Seems to be an online company with deep pockets. The Top Coaching is well diversified with other online courses too.
3. TCYOnline (http://www.tcyonline.com): One of the earliest entrants to online CAT coaching. The offering and tests are not differentiated.
4. CATIndiaonline (http://www.catindiaonline.com): Offers full course including a crash course. Tests are unimpressive and reports look cluttered.
5. Snapwiz (http://www.snapwiz.co.in): Clean UI, good tests and reports and very easy to navigate and use. Drawbacks: offers tests only and no course.
6. CATION (http://www.cation.in): Seems to have good content including recorded video. Video quality frankly sucks!
   
7. YesICan (http://www.yesican.com): Another site with tests and smattering of subject tests. Overall OK but nothing to write about
   
8. Complore: Free tests...but you get what you pay for.
9. Fireup (http://www.fireup.co.in): A dog in the online world. Test interface is unimpressive and so is the test content. The tests have 90+ questions whereas the official CAT is supposed to be 60-70 questions. Clearly out of depths with reality.
10. TestMerit (http://testmerit.com) : Another dog in the world of online cat prep. Very slow site...nothing positive to write about it.
