Everything you need to know about mentorship on Optima Learn
They are CAT toppers and B-school students/alumni who have personally cracked the exam and converted top IIMs and other premier B-schools. Each mentor is vetted before they go live on the platform.
A coaching class teaches one fixed syllabus to a batch of hundreds. A CAT mentor is your personal 1-on-1 coach — a verified CAT topper who builds the plan around your target percentile, analyses your mocks, fixes your weak areas, and keeps you accountable every week. It's personal CAT coaching, not a crowded classroom.
Yes. Every session is a personal online 1-on-1 call with your mentor — strategy, mock analysis and doubt-solving — plus WhatsApp access between calls. No commute and no batch of 200; the entire plan is built around you.
With the mentor plan we match you with mentors based on your goals. Connect on a call to find the one who fits you best, then lock them in for the rest of your CAT journey.
After you lock in your mentor, you book sessions from your dashboard. Mentors run strategy reviews, mock analysis, and doubt-solving, and stay reachable over WhatsApp between sessions.
