The Economic Times: Helps in acquiring an economic perspective on current affairs, which is very useful in the world of business. The Economist: I love this magazine. It keeps you up-to-date with all major happenings in the world. With the business world becoming so globalized, it is also important to know what is happening outside India.

You can prepare for this year's CAT. You can allot 1/2 hour every day for preparing CAT. As CAT syllabus is more of logical, analytical and reasoning, so it's easy to give time for CAT preparation.

Hi,
No, you don't need to. CAT is difficult as compared to MAT. If you have chosen to prepare for CAT please focus on it as it covers the preparation for MAT exam as well. Moreover, where through CAT aspirants are eligible for admissions to 20 Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and more than 1000 B-Schools in India, on the other hand, more than 600 Management Institutes offer admissions on basis of MAT scores. For details on the difference in terms of eligibility, pattern and difficulty level of both these exams, check out this article on Shiksha:

That's a tad bit difficult to say. It would depend on how your basics are and how well you grasp things. It varies from time to time. There are plenty of mock tests available. Use them and assess you knowledge, then decide how much time you need to spend for preparations.

Hi Vipin,
You can browse through many blogs written about preparation of CAT, hence i wont be sharing on the details of how to prepare. However based on my personal experience i would suggest that you should take up a cat course in a reputed institute and prepare for at-least 6 months or more.
