What is the CAT?
The Common Admission Test (CAT) is a national-level entrance exam for admission into MBA programs at the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and other top business schools in India.
A computer-based assessment known as the CAT is used to evaluate management ability. An applicant can take as many CAT exams as desired. This test’s primary goal is to get admission to postgraduate management schools.
Conducted annually, it tests candidates on Quantitative Ability (QA), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC).
CAT-2025 will be held in November 2025, and it is important to start preparing early to secure a high percentile and stand out among thousands of aspirants.
