Selected Chennai contacts
The city page lists Nungambakkam at No. 86, second floor, Nungambakkam High Road, opposite Hotel Raaj Bhaavan, Chennai 600034: 7305053466. Tambaram is at 109A, second floor, Siva Shanmugham Road, above Shanthi Super Market, Chennai 600045: 9282442221.
The separate contact page corroborates Tambaram’s address and phone and gives counselor@gradsquare.net. It lists working hours as 9 AM–8 PM, except Monday; these are contact hours, not a CAT batch timetable.
Displayed package and scope
The city page shows CAT 2026 classroom and online cards at ₹40,000 plus 18% GST, calculated ₹47,200, with 200+ live hours and one year of mentoring. CAT 2027 is ₹60,000 plus 18%, calculated ₹70,800, with 300+ offline hours and two years of mentoring.
Both year-specific offers list 30 CAT mocks, 40 non-CAT mocks, printed material, individual mock analysis, recordings and interview/WAT preparation. Ask for exact mentoring start/end dates and the timetable remaining after you join. These advertised packages do not establish current seats or a final invoice.
General text also says 300+ hours. Resolve the difference against your named package.
Published mentors and allocation checks
The About page names Ajay Zener as a mentor, Chris Diana and Kushal Bohra for Quant, and Varun Krishnan for verbal. These are published team roles, not a confirmed branch roster.
Ask who will teach QA, DILR and VARC in your intake and arrange a demo with the assigned teacher. Request the booking process for individual mock reviews and whether mentoring continues through interview preparation.
Our assessment: test the feedback process
Consider a demo if a listed location works for you and you want scheduled teaching with mock review. Ask a mentor to explain how your next week of practice would change after reviewing a weak mock.
Compare remaining live work with your actual preparation gaps. Check recording expiry, interview eligibility, cancellation terms and whether all support is included in the written quote.
