The format of the test will remain same as last year. There will be three shifts of 2-hour examination comprising three sections: i) Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension, ii) Quantitative Ability, and iii) Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning.
The candidates will be given 40 minutes for each section, PwD candidates will get 13 minutes and 20 seconds extra for each section.
It is pertinent to mention here that the CAT format was changed due to Covid-19 pandemic situation last year. “However, considering that there could have been time pressure to complete the CAT exam last year on account of changes made, for CAT 2021 the CAT Committee is making an attempt in reducing the number of questions across all the three sections - QA, DILR and VARC,” the notification added.
Mock test/tutorials to understand the format of the test will be available on the CAT website from the last week of October 2021. Candidates are advised to work on the tutorials available on the CAT website well in advance.
