Today, I’ll be sharing my honest opinion about T.I.M.E (Triumphant Institute of Management Education) coaching materials. Quick heads-up — this article is focused solely on the study material provided by T.I.M.E and not on the in-class experience.
So, what exactly do you get when you sign up for T.I.M.E’s offline program?

My Experience With T.I.M.E Study Material
T.I.M.E’s material is vast — and I really mean vast. The number of practice questions is more than enough for any MBA entrance exam. From beginner-level drills to advanced problem sets, there’s something for every stage of preparation.
What I appreciated the most was the diversity in difficulty. The mix of basic, intermediate, and advanced questions ensures your concepts are well-tested. Some questions are genuinely tougher than what you’ll face in actual exams — which, in hindsight, is a blessing. It prepares you for the unexpected.
The live mock tests deserve a special mention. Their difficulty levels are updated based on recent CAT trends, and they even simulate new question types. This keeps the prep fresh and aligned with exam changes.
Final Thoughts
T.I.M.E’s material can feel like overkill when you first start — it’s dense and rigorous. But if you stick with it and make peace with the volume, you’ll be in a great place by the time exam season rolls around. In my opinion, if you can handle T.I.M.E’s material, you’re already more than prepared for CAT and beyond.
