Syllabus of the exam, eligibility criteria, registration fee, examination pattern, marking scheme, etc. will also be mentioned in the notification.
As per previous year’s pattern, CAT is held in computer-based mode that assesses a candidate’s ability of critical thinking. The test consists of three parts: Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension (VARC), Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Quantitative Aptitude (Quants). The duration of the test is two hours. Any change in the exam pattern will be mentioned in the notification.
CAT scores are used by IIMs and other participating B-Schools to admit student to their MBA courses. There is no centralised counselling process and candidates have to apply for admission separately on the websites of the participating institutions.
Qualifying in CAT does not guarantee admission as institutes have further admission rounds, which may include written test, group discussion and personal interview.
