Do you need coaching for GMAT or one can excel it with self study for admission in India (ISB Hyderabad and other top colleges)?
I do agree that coaching makes the preparation journey a whole lot easier and smooth. It's a necessity in case you come from a non-Engineering or non-Mathematics background. Moreover the GMAT exam is all about the strategic approach at which the coaching institutes excel at. Their easy yet effective teaching methodology saves your time and reduces your stress considerably.
One of my friends with a non-engineering/non-mathematics background got offers from 3 International B Schools. However he was prepared for GMAT only after his office hours and yet got the offers. Still he claims that the stress and time invested would have been considerably less had he joined a coaching Institute.
Since you are targeting the top B Schools let me tell you that GMAT is just a stepping stone. Your application is a much more impactful criteria as it comprises your career and MBA essays.
Whatever route you choose, remember persistence is the only way you will get through.

What is the key to score 98+ plus percentile in the CAT? If I can get IIM Calcutta, how am I going to arrange the fees of 30 lakhs?
There is no specific way to score 98+ percentile. The only key is to find your weak areas and work on them. Yet I have compiled a list of tips that might help you in your journey of preparing for CAT.
-
Prior to preparing for the exam, give one or two mock tests to identify your weak and strong areas. This will help you focus more on the areas you are weak.
-
Don’t set unrealistic goals like 98 or 99. Set a goal that you are confident you can achieve else you will end up getting demotivated and disappointed.
-
Don’t join coaching classes or turn to CAT experts unless you find it almost impossible to understand the concepts on your own. This is because classes will consume a lot of time and you might not get time to practice the concepts you have learned.

Gather the best study material and self-study.
