Here is news for those who want to crack the Common Admission Test (CAT) and get into prestigious institutes of management. As the students gear up to give it their best shot in CAT 2011, the IIMs on Monday announced a changed module for the exam.
CAT 2011 will now have only two sections and not three as earlier and the examination time has been extended to 140 minutes.
the two sections would be:
1. Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation and
2. Verbal Ability and Logical Reasoning.
The candidates will also be provided 15 minutes tutorials before the examination starts. Including the tutorials timing, examination will be of two hours and 35 minutes- (140 minutes of exam and 15 minutes of tutorials).
Candidates will have 70 minutes to answer 30 questions in each section which will have an on-screen countdown timer. Once the time ends for the first section, they will move to the second and will no longer be able to go back.
“The reason for changing the method is that we aim to get candidates who are good at both -- verbal ability and analysis,” Professor Janakiraman Moorthy, CAT 2011 convenor told DNA.
The number of test days has been retained at 20 within the window -- from 22 October to 18 November 2011.
