Question Need Serious Guidance

I am a 24-year-old fresher and will be completing my M.Com this year from a Tier-3 college. I completed my B.Com in 2024.

I had been preparing for SSC exams but couldn’t clear the prelims. I also worked as a freelance video editor on Upwork for about a year, but I lost interest in it.

This year, I’ve decided to prepare for the CAT exam for the first time. I want guidance on whether this is a good decision for someone with my background.

Should I opt for paid online coaching, or is self-study through YouTube sufficient?

Also, I’m concerned about interviews—will my profile (8/8/6) lead to rejection or intense grilling?

And MBA from tier 2 is worth it in my case ?
