Hi Reshma,
GMAT preparation takes around 5 months. The minimum required time is 3 months. But this will vary from individual to individual. People with job and little time to devote to studies will require more than 5 months to prepare.

Hello,
I will try to give you a different aspect of preparation of topics apart from the syllabus. More than syllabus to study its important how to study and which topics to concentrate your energy on.
The most important part is your plan. So the topics you should focus on is your preparation plan. Spend a good amount of time in designing your strategy for the exam. Like how many months you have, how many hours you can devote and also the areas you are good at and areas you need to work hard.
Just start with the road map and start preparing on the topics which are categorized as important and you are weak at. Then move to other important

Hi,
If the program you are applying to requires these tests then certainly you must prepare. Considering Harvard and Oxford, remember they will evaluate your overall profile and you must be an allrounder, mere taking these tests alone won't help. Perhaps you can share your desired program of study for better guidance.

The syllabus remains the same-GMAT consists of Analytical Writing Assessment, Integrated Reasoning Section, Quantitative Section and Verbal Section. Refer to MBA.com for latest books and study materials and practice as much as you can. It is recommended you follow latest study materials.

Then you may start working on a plan and coaching. There are many options available these days like online tutoring, offline classes or a mix of both. You may take 3 to 6 months and do take a l

Also, take a digital course study it fast and get to practice tests. Understand this thing that every year 1 lakh plus students give CAT and join classes, but only 5k makes it to IIM so self-study goes the long way.

Hello Nikhil,
You have got enough time to prepare for CAT & GMAT.If you want to get into IIMs, one thing you can do is practice with complete dedication. Know your weak areas and practice more n more. It is very essential to understand time management. For that , make practice papers with your timer on.
and
If you want to do MBA from outside India, CAT isn't going to be useful. However, not all MBA programs require GMAT. Some are fine with GRE. I've heard some MBA programs don't even require an entrance test if you satisfy some other requirements such as CFA Level 3 cleared. Also, all MBA programmes outside India require at least two y
