Testimonials of Past Students
Nishit Jain, IIM Calcuta, Class of 2009
BMS, HR College, Mumbai University
Munira Lokhandwala was the only one who believed that I could crack the CAT and deserves full responsibility for converting my 54th percentile in CAT 2005 to a 99.92 in CAT 2006. There probably are a few people who might be as good as her, across CAT sections, but there is no one close to her when it comes to teaching. She is a Math Goddess, an inspiring mentor, a good friend and an amazing teacher!.
Dr Dinesh A Rijhwani, IIM Ahmedabad, Class of 2010MBBS, GS Medical College KEM, Mumbai
Inspite of having absolutely no base in CAT subjects (especially math), I could clear CAT (and almost all other entrances). Munira’s teaching techniques are distinguished by the sheer amount of analysis and experience that have gone in. Plus the ability to connect to your thinking. I also benefited from the comprehensive assignments, properly scheduled exercises, timely revisions of concepts and one-to-one sessions. The only ingredients required to crack CAT are motivation and the will to put in consistent efforts; the rest is catalysed perfectly… by Munira!
Trishna Shah, IIM Ahmedabad, Class of 2009BE, VESIT, Mumbai University
I started off preparation for CAT '06 with low self-esteem, not having done well in CAT '05. Munira gets all the credit of getting me off the ground and putting me in IIMA. Her teaching, which I think is unparalleled as far as CAT goes, is just one part of the support she gives you. Equally important are her infectious optimism and her personal attention for each of her students. Trust me, if you take things in the right perspective, she is a friend, teacher, advisor, all rolled into one..
Shantanu Sabnis, IIM Lucknow Class of 2010BE, VESIT, Mumbai University
What differentiates Munira from other tutors is the overall approach of looking at CAT. Her methods are truly unconventional and her strategies are time-tested. The highest amount of discipline exists in her class room as all others preparing along with you are equally competitive and focused at the job at hand. Besides this, Munira taught me to take CAT head-on. It is this confidence that she instilled in all of us that made the result possible.
Saurabh Gambhir, IIM Ahmedabad, Class of 2009BE, Jabalpur
The important thing about cracking the CAT is to understand it well, and who better to do that than Munira. At CATalyst, a small batch ensures personalized attention. The material designed by Munira is very different from others; she gave us GMAT pattern RCs and VA with 5 options, which was exactly what happened in CAT 2006.One to one sessions with Munira, the Quant session where Munira solves the paper loudly in the time limit, the TIMED tests where you will solve questions in a given time limit are all extremely helpful.
