The Common Admission Test or CAT exam is the most popular for all MBA course aspirants. Considered as one of the most premium exams all across India the CAT exam is one of the toughest competitive exams in India. Every year almost 2.5 lakh students compete across all over India to get admission in one of the IIMs. These students are across all graduation backgrounds which mainly includes Commerce, Engineering, Science, and Arts. Their main purpose is to get in the first 6500 seats, which is the total number in all the IIMs combined. The level of CAT questions over the years has become easier. However, to secure a seat in the premium college 90+ percentile score is a must. 

After one year of Covid pandemic CAT 2021 exam is going to be more important for students especially for the ones who lost their track in the lock-down. It is important preparation should start early and you should also have an idea of the CAT 2021 syllabus. This will help to make the best possible strategy for CAT 2021.

Other than these top colleges there are nearly 2000 other B-schools all across India, who accept the CAT score. So even if you do not get a chance to get admitted to the top colleges, there are other B category colleges, which are also quite good for you to make a management career.

Over the past, this prestigious exam had altered its pattern several times.

As per the current rules, the exam has three main sections:

• Verbal and Reading Comprehension (VARC): This is the language section designed to test the vocabulary skills of students. Along with the same reading comprehension test the speed reading capability and fast a candidate can absorb the meaning of any content. This section has 34 questions.
• Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DI & LR): This is the section to test the logical thinking capability and how fast a candidate can interpret a given data mostly represented in graphical forms. This section has 32 questions.
• Quantitative Ability (QA): This is the Math section and checks the ability of a candidate to quickly solve any given problem. This section has 34 questions

Besides the total score, candidates can know the score of each individual section.

The questions in each section are designed with the syllabus topic around any standard 10+2 level. Hence for any graduate passing students that might be doable. However, the real challenge for CAT is the ability to complete the same in a given time.

Any graduate with 50% or equal CGPA score for general and 45% for reserved candidates (SC, ST, OBC, and Person with Differently enabled)
