CAT
The Common Admission Test (CAT) is conducted by
the Indian Institutes of Management and is the first
step in the process of seeking admission to the IIMs.
The CAT has now become the most imperative entrance
exams to get admitted to the premier management
institutes. Apart from the Indian Institutes of
Management over 72 other Management Institutes use
the CAT for short listing candidates. The mother of
all examinations, the CAT has the widest coverage in
Quantitative, Verbal and Reasoning areas of testing.
The CAT is generally a 2 hour test with number of
questions normally ranging from 120 to 150. But CAT
2006 and 2007 witnessed a drastic change in pattern
with 75 questions and increase in the exam time by
half an hour. Wrong answers carried 1 mark as
penalty whereas correct answers carried 4 marks.
Proficiency in all the sections is essential for
getting a call from any of the IIMs as sectional cut
offs are also applicable.
The CAT is now conducted on the second last Sunday
of November and is generally the first management
entrance examination in a long list of exams to
follow.
Eligibility Criteria:
Bachelor’s Degree with minimum 50% marks (or
equivalent grade) from any University or Institution
recognized by AICTE.
Candidates appearing for a qualifying examination
can also apply subject to submission of proof of
requisite qualification.
