CAT 2013 Exam Pattern

CAT 2013 will have two sections. The first section will focus on Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation; the second on Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning. These two sections will be implemented sequentially with separate time limits. The examination will be for 140 minutes. Candidates will have 70 minutes to answer 30 questions within each section which will have an onscreen countdown timer. Once the time ends for the first section, they will move to the second and will be unable to go back.

A 15minute tutorial will be provided before the start of the test, and candidates are advised to go through it carefully before starting the main examination. The total duration will be two hours and 35 minutes including the tutorial. A practice test to provide candidates with a feel of the timed sections, as well as navigation and functionality of the actual test will be made available on www.cat2013.iimidr.ac.in in the coming weeks. Candidates are advised to go through the practice test carefully to familiarize themselves with the screens, layout and navigation.
