I have been thinking on this idea for quite a some time now. It would be good to have this idea discussed over here.
The plan is to have the study material for management entrance exams (like CAT/GMAT) made available through some software, both online and offline. If we look at the candidates who take these exams, most of them come from the IT background and spend most of their time in front of computers. These candidates are always on lookout online for something to study . But they need to wade through the clutter of websites to reach the properly aligned study material. Other thing is even if the material is found online its really not put up in an user-friendly manner. They just get to read the problems and their answers. And for the candidates of GMAT having the study material on computers is very important thing as the exam that they finally take is on a computer.
For the success of this idea I think we need a few things mentioned below
1. Good study material in soft format
2. A software that is user-friendly, intuitive and can give the feeling of a virtual class-room. (e.g. a facility like scratch pad)
3. Pricing strategy that attracts most of the IT professional to go for the service.
I would be grateful to hear your suggestions, advices and doubts.

Suhas,
We have been working on a product which caters to most needs of an education service provider.
I understand mostly the technology aspects well and would like to restrict myself to providing a technology platform to any of the education service providers (who I assume would understand the content part).
One of the modules we built as part of our product stack is an intelligent Content Management System (primarily targeted for Questions Management).
If I can get your mail id/ mobile number we can discuss it further so that I do not use this forum as an advertisement for my company! 😛

what would be business/revenue model? since your target is students.. and with many free resources available and also, most likely to join coaching class for entrances exams anyways.. i would imagine membership-fee or fee for material may not be attractive..!!?
few interesting websites for same/similar needs:
