Strategy-First Path to a Top CAT Percentile
about CATSETGO
CATsetgo offers focused CAT mentorship led by Samanti Dhore, an IIM Ahmedabad alumna (Class of 2022) with over 5 years of teaching experience and 1,000+ students mentored. Unlike traditional coaching institutes that rely on large batches and standardized teaching, we focus on smaller groups where students receive direct mentorship and personalised preparation plans.
Our philosophy is simple: the analytical thinking and strategic frameworks taught at top business schools are directly applicable to CAT preparation. Learning from someone who has recently experienced both CAT and IIM Ahmedabad ensures that students receive current strategies and insights perfectly aligned with today’s exam patterns.
Why the IIM Ahmedabad Perspective Matters
Strategic Thinking Framework
IIM Ahmedabad’s pedagogy emphasizes analytical thinking, pattern recognition, and decision-making under pressure - the same skills CAT tests. This alignment means you learn to approach problems the way successful candidates do.
Recent Exam Experience
Samanti was herself a CAT aspirant not long ago, so she understands the anxieties, doubts and challenges students face. This allows her to guide students with practical strategies aligned with the current CAT pattern.
Beyond the CAT Exam
Samanti is not just a teacher but an MBA who has experienced the entire journey, from CAT preparation and interviews to campus life, internships, and placements. She guides students not only for CAT but for B-school success.
Proven Mentorship Experience
With 3+ years of full-time teaching, over 20% of Samanti’s mentees have secured admissions in top B-schools including BLACKI. Many continue to seek her guidance even after entering B-school - reflecting the depth and impact in her mentorship.

5+ years experience
At the heart of CATsetgo – a personalized CAT coaching platform – is a vision crafted by Samanti, an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad, with a deep passion for mentoring MBA aspirants. With firsthand experience of cracking CAT, she understands not just the syllabus, but the mindset, strategy, and discipline required to succeed in the CAT Exam.
Before founding CATsetgo, Samanti worked in leadership roles across leading EdTechs. In 2023, she chose to transition into full-time mentoring to build a more focused, high-impact model of online CAT coaching. Unlike mass coaching institutes that rely on scale, CATsetgo is designed around small batches, customized mentorship, and strategic preparation — ensuring every student receives clarity, structure, and personal attention.
Her teaching methodology goes beyond shortcuts and formulas. Students are trained to master core concepts, build structured thinking, eliminate traps in questions, and approach the exam with confidence. From Quant, VARC, DILR strategy to overall exam planning, the focus remains on intelligent preparation rather than mechanical practice.
With a strong track record of mentoring students targeting top IIMs and other premier B-schools, Samanti is committed to making high-quality CAT coaching accessible, rigorous, and outcome-driven. If you are preparing for CAT 2026 or take your CAT preparation to the next level, you are in the right place.

Frequently
asked questions
Answers to common questions about CAT preparation, batch structure, mentorship, and results.

At IIM Ahmedabad, students are trained in pattern recognition, decision-making under pressure, and strategic resource allocation—exactly what CAT tests. Samanti ma’am brings these frameworks directly into CAT preparation, teaching you to think strategically rather than just solve mechanically.
Additionally, having recently completed her MBA from IIM-A (2022), she understands what top B-schools look for beyond just CAT scores—insights that shape both exam strategy and post-CAT interview preparation. This recent experience combined with 5+ years of teaching expertise means you get current strategies, not outdated methods.

It's not about how many months you have—it's about how efficiently you use them.
6 months with 4 focused hours daily can be more effective than 12 months with 1 hour daily. What matters is consistency, strategic practice, and quality of effort.
At CATSetGo, we help you maximize whatever time you have. Whether you're starting 10 months before CAT or 4 months before, we'll build an efficient preparation plan that focuses on high-impact topics and smart strategies rather than trying to cover everything.
The goal: Make your limited time count through strategic preparation, not just more hours.
Yes. Samanti ma’am cracked every IIM interview she gave, so she knows what works.
The advantage: by CAT results, we already know your profile, strengths, and story from months of prep together. With her marketing background, she'll help you present yourself effectively to interview panels.
First priority: getting you there. Once results are out, our GD-PI course includes:
- Mock interviews with detailed feedback
- Profile-based guidance (leveraging YOUR story)
- WAT preparation with structured frameworks
- IIM-specific prep (what each IIM values)
- Current affairs and GD topic practice
