They have no fee structure, they ask anything from anyone. My one friend paid 30,000 rs while other paid 40,000 rs. Moreover it is the worst MBA coaching institute you can ever get. Their attitude towards the students is very bad. They don't tell you about their whole system at the time of admission and when anything goes wrong they do not support you. Don't waste your money on Alchemist.

You can either go for self-preparation if you find the topics difficult or not able to regularly practice the problems than better to join a coaching institute. Also, do join a good test series to evaluate your performance. Test series will give you an idea of time management, section selection and performance comparison with others.

Number system: Basic topic of this.Arithmetic: Arithmetic has a vast number of sub-topics.Algebra: Considering this has been one of the most dominant topics in CAT in the last three years, it makes a lot of sense to place extra emphasis on this topic.
Geometry: Another topic which has featured quite a lot in the last few years.
