Note: app-store ratings and reviews describe each institute's platform overall,
not only its CAT course. Where a review makes the exam clear, we filter the quoted feedback
to CAT; the aggregate rating is the store's own, weighted by rating volume.
There's no single “best” — it depends on your budget, whether you want online or offline, and which faculty suits you. By verified student rating, Unacademy currently leads the institutes we track for CAT (4.13★), but the comparison above lays out ratings, fees and real cited reviews for 6 options so you can decide on evidence, not marketing.
How much does CAT coaching cost?
Fees vary widely. Across the institutes we track for CAT, published or student-reported prices run from about ₹999 to ₹85,000. Many institutes don't publish fees, so some figures are what students reported in reviews — each is labelled and linked to its source on the page above.
How does CoachCompare rank CAT coaching?
We order institutes by each app store's verified aggregate rating, weighted by how many ratings back it — never by any commission we might earn. Every strength and complaint shown is a real student review linked to its source, and reviews we detect as planted by the institute are excluded.
