Ashwin Chauhan (99.78% in CAT, FMS Delhi) and Chandra Prakash (99.97% in CAT, FMS Delhi), with 10+ mentors from IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, FMS and others.
Optima Learn looks at your level, target percentile, exam date and available time, then builds a daily task list telling you exactly what to study and in what order. As your scores move, the plan adapts, so you never have to plan your prep yourself.
The Voice Coach is an AI coach you can talk to instead of reading a dashboard. It explains concepts, reviews how your day went, tells you what to focus on next and keeps you motivated.
Most aspirants do not lose CAT to difficulty, they lose it in the week-4 to week-8 slump when motivation drops. Optima Learn checks in daily, tracks your streak and flags patterns like a section you keep skipping, so you are not relying on willpower alone.
Yes. Your practice and mock phases are built into your plan, so you know when to take them and exactly what to fix afterward. On top of that, you get 30 full-length mocks, 30 sectional mocks for each section, and you can create unlimited quizzes from the bank of 15K+ questions.
Both. The AI handles your daily structure and tracking, and you also get direction from real mentors who have cleared CAT and studied at top B-schools. You are not leaning on one person; you get a bench of guides.
Optima Learn's mentors are 99+ %ilers from top B-schools who guide you through what a plan alone cannot, like strategy, doubts and building confidence.
Yes. Once your scores are in, mentors who have been through the process guide you through GD-PI and interview preparation.
Coaching gives everyone the same content on the same schedule. Optima Learn gives you a plan built around you that adapts daily, a coach you can talk to, accountability so you actually follow through, and real mentors for direction. It tells you what to do next, it is not another library to get lost in.
As much or as little as you realistically have. You set your available time and your plan fits inside it, whether that is 90 minutes on a workday or longer on weekends.
