About CAT examination:
The CAT 2023 is a prerequisite for admission to various Post Graduate and Fellow or Doctorate programmes of IIMs. CAT 2023 scores are allowed to be used by listed non-IIM member institutions. IIMs have no role in the selection process of non-IIM institutions. CAT exam is a computer-based exam with 100 questions divided into three portions. Each portion has a time restriction of 40 minutes, and there are no interruptions between sections. The Quantitative Aptitude (QA) will consist of a total of 22 questions for 66 marks. Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC) will feature a total of 24 questions carrying 72 marks. In the Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR) section, there will be 20 questions for 60 marks. Each right answer in the exam is worth three marks. Candidates will, however, lose one mark for every wrong answer.
