What is Syllabus of CAT?
This is the most frequent question asked when one starts preparing for CAT. CAT is a
test with no predefined syllabus, however past trends suggest that CAT tests in general
aptitude including Verbal Ability (English), Quant Ability (Mathematics), Logical Resoning
(LR) and Data Interpretation (DI) skills.

Similar to CAT, there are other admission tests - MAT, XAT, CMAT and SNAP. There
are some B-Schools (like IIFT and IRMA) which conduct their own exam. And there are
state level entrance tests for admission to colleges in respective states.

CAT English/Verbal Ability: Reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, syllogisms,

analogies, antonyms and synonyms, fill in the blanks, sentence correction, idioms, etc.

CAT Maths/Quant Ability: Number systems, geometry, trogonometry, probability,

permutation combination, algebra, mensuration, time and work, averages, percentages,
profit and loss, quadratic and linear equations, etc.

CAT Data Interpretation: Interpretation and analysis of data based on text, tables,
graphs (line, area), charts (column, bar, pie), venn diagram, etc.

CAT Logical Reasoning: Clocks, calendars, binary logic, seating arrangement, blood
relations, logical sequence, assumption, premise, conclusion, linear and matrix
arrangement, etc.

CAT 2015 New Paper Pattern: There are three sections: Quantitative Ability (QA,
34 questions), Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR, 32 questions)
and Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension (VRC, 34 questions). The duration
of the exam is 180 minutes. There is no separate time limit on sections.
