CAT is the gateway to get the
admission in Top
CAT colleges in India, the IIMs. CAT, or the Common Admission Test, is an
aptitude test; it is the most popular test among prospective management
students because it is accepted by the best institutes. The CAT is one of the
world's ost demanding entrance examinations for any graduate institute.
CAT MBA entrance exam is used as
a criteria to shortlist applicants for admissions to the six IIMs-IIM
Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, IIM Indore, and IIM
Kozhikode. Common Admission Test is one of the largest MBA entrance exams
conducted in India, anually. The CAT score is also accepted by more than 75
non-IIM institutes across India, some of which are as reputed as the IIMs.
Eligibility for the postgraduate
programmes in management at all IIMs and to appear for IIM-CAT is at least
a three-year bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognised university

CAT EXAM 2017
Those appearing in the final year
examination of graduation are also eligible to appear in Common Admission Test.
Some People feel that Common Admission Test (CAT) is more of a rejection
procedure than a selection process.It rejects those who can't make their minds
work at break neck speed for two and a half hours non-stop.
CAT Exam covers questions in five
broad areas such as verbal ability and reasoning, reading comprehension,
quantitative skills, data interpretation and logical reasoning.
The number of questions asked in
Common Admission Test vary every year and a typical CAT question paper can have
anywhere between 75 and 150 questions. Common Admission Test evaluates the
candidate's presence of mind and his ability to perform under pressure. Announcement
of the procedure for appearing in the Common Admission Test is made in leading
newspapers in August every year for admission to the programme beginning in the
second half of June of the following year. The test will be conducted during
November. CAT 2017 Notification for admission to 2017 session has been
announced.
Usually, CAT tests three of your
abilities:- Problem Solving- Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning- Verbal
Ability and Reading Comprehension. The CAT examination demands competency
across all sections of the paper. So, the number of sections in the test don't
really matter; what matters is whether you are competitive and have answered
questions in all the sections.
All the questions are of
multiple-choice nature with four/five alternate answer choices and the
candidate has to choose the best answer for each of the questions and mark it
on a special Optical Reader answer sheet. Differential marks are allotted to
the questions. The test comprises 150 to 200 objective type questions and is
usually divided into three to four sections.
Very little strategy could be
applied in selecting the easiest questions. Cut that down and don't waste time
on questions which are lengthy. One misconception is that you need to slove the
whole Question Paper - not at all. If you can solve 38 to 40 per cent of the
questions, CORRECTLY, you are through.
Not an Engineer - No Problems You
don't need to be an Engineer to get into an IIM . Infact being a non-engineer
may help in the Interview part. IIMs encourage diversity. And being a
non-engineer you may be compared with other non-engineers. Rather than with
engineers who may be compared with IITians.
Personal or Postal Coachings is
helpful for CAT Exam 2017 Preparation.
The Coaching Institutes will teach you shortcuts and you will get chance to
appear in Mock Tests conducted for CAT. There are many good Coaching Institutes
- Bulls Eye, Ascent, TIME, IMS, Roots Education and Career Launcher. It is
tough to say which one institute is the best MBA Entrance coaching Institute.
It completely depends on faculty. Before joining any coaching classes, first
consult to students who have already joined that particular institute. You can
also try MBA Entrance Preparation Question Bank CDs being offered on the net.
These MBA Test Preparation CDs help you practice the tests.
