Let’s be honest—preparing for CAT 2025 is no joke. Between juggling academics, internships, or a full-time job, finding the right coaching mode becomes a critical first step.
Should you sign up for an online course you can attend in your pajamas? Or opt for the tried-and-tested structure of offline classes?
Let’s break it down.
Online CAT Coaching in 2025:
So, what makes online CAT coaching so popular?
Convenience, Clarity, and Customization

Offline CAT Coaching in 2025:
Now let’s talk about good old classroom coaching. It’s not outdated—it’s just… a different vibe.
Discipline, Doubt-Solving, and Dedication
Why students still swear by offline CAT classes:
- Face-to-face doubt clearing (sometimes on the spot!)
- You get into a routine. If you’re someone who thrives on schedule and accountability, this helps a lot
- Peer learning is real—group discussions, debates, competitive spirit, all fuel your prep
- You’re surrounded by people chasing the same goal—big motivation boost!
“Being physically present in the classroom kept me motivated and consistent throughout my CAT prep.”
— Ayush, FundaMakers Classroom Student
Best For:
- Students who prefer in-person guidance
- Those who like a fixed timetable
- Aspirants who thrive in collaborative environments
