CAT 2025 serves as the entrance test for admission to postgraduate and doctoral programmes offered by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs).

The IIMs, however, are not involved in the admission process of non-IIM institutions.

About CAT Examination

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is a national-level computer-based entrance exam for admission to MBA and other postgraduate management programs offered by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and several other top B-schools in India.

The exam has three main sections:

• Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC)

• Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR)

• Quantitative Aptitude (Quant)

Change in CAT Examination pattern 

Traditionally, CAT was a 3-hour test, but since the pandemic, the duration has been reduced to 2 hours. This shorter format has continued for the past three years and may remain the standard going forward, though no official confirmation has been made yet.

The CAT does not have a formally defined syllabus, but its pattern has remained consistent over the years. Based on past exams, questions generally cover topics from reading comprehension, grammar, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, number systems, data analysis, and logical puzzles.

Candidates preparing for the exam are advised to study the key concepts from each section and practice using mock tests to understand the pattern and timing of the exam.
