Almost TIME Institute provide common coaching across India, and their faculty also good. Check near you to find out further, you should start your own preparation initially, at later stage take coaching. All the best.

Hi,
I would recommend joining TestFunda and IMS and definitely recommend against TIME.
Why join TestFunda?
It is the best for CAT and is flexible.
They are quite good and similar to CAT level. The best part about TF is that you get the solutions, the moment you give the mocks. It will make a huge difference. You can start analyzing your mocks as soon as you finish your paper.
Why IMS?
It is very close to CAT.
I did not take the IMS Simcats in 2014, but I have seen the papers from my friends. They have always been quite similar to the actual CAT.

Yes, you should. Work hard and aim for the top 15 institutes. Your academics can be overshadowed with a great CAT score and a brilliant interview.

One should do MBA only from any of the top 50 B-Schools for long-term career growth. Therefore, lots of students drop one or two years to prepare for CAT to get admission in best B-Schools. Devoting one full year for the competitive exams such as CAT or XAT has its own merits and demerits. Dropping a year means that you will get sufficient amount of time to prepare for the competitive exams. It will allow you take mock test and help you to score good ranking in competitive exams. However, one year is a long time so the possibility of you may change your goals and objectives. You may become lethargic because of availability of time and

For preparing CAT 2017 start practising with basic Quant. questions, you can refer books like Arun Sharma, Trishna. For verbal you need to read newspaper articles daily, practice more on jumbled sentences/para completion. DI-LR again needs practice.
For initial two months start preparing yourself with each week dedicating to a particular section and try to cover the maximum syllabus. After gaining confidence join a good test series and improve on weak topics. You need to utilise your time cautiously.

You need to focus more on quantitative part of CAT. You can refer some good books of Quant like R.S.Aggrawal, Arun Sharma. If you want to start from basics you can refer maths books of 9-10. You can join a coaching institute as you will get proper guidance with regular evaluation.
