Answer 1

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is an all-India test conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs- considered as top B.schools in india) as an entrance test for the management programmes of its six business schools.

150,000 students compete for less than 1200 general seats in the IIM's which makes it even more selective than all the Ivy League Universities put together. Even with a top 1% score, a candidate must also win through the equally stringent group and individual interviews.

The CAT is one of the world's most demanding entrance examination for any graduate institute. The test taker is expected to excel in arithmetical problem solving, geometry, statistics, data interpretation, logical reasoning in solving complex puzzles, and English language skills. The test is held on the third Sunday of November for a duration of two hours (2.5 hours from 2006).

It is neither expected, nor possible, that all the questions be answered, so the CAT also tests the candidates' ability to prioritise under pressure: a quality necessary in the competitive environment of IIMs' courses.

Eligibility to write this exam is the candidate should be a graduate or should have appeared for the graduation examination. Class 12 subjects and marks are irrelevant-
