CAT 2020 Syllabus for MBA/IIM Preparation

CAT Qualitative Aptitude Syllabus 2020

The syllabus for Quant Section for CAT contains fragments of fundamental mathematics that one must have covered way before in 9^th and 10^th grade. Although the questions asked in this section are pretty much the basics, one must not take this section with ease as the questions asked in this section can be one of the trickiest in the entire CAT exam syllabus. However, in order to thoroughly go through this section one must practice problems related to the following topics:

CAT DI & LR Syllabus 2020

The data interpretation section deals with questions which are asked on the basis of certain information that is provided. The data that needs to be interpreted and solved in these questions are usually given in the form of charts, tables, graphs, and paragraphs. These questions are aimed to test the ability of the student to solve them accurately. Logical Reasoning questions, on the contrary, checks the ability of the candidate to logically evaluate problem statements and then derive the solutions.

CAT Verbal Section Syllabus 2020

The verbal ability section of the CAT exams has a dynamic approach towards checking how good is the candidate with English as a language. Here, in this section one is bound to be tested on how well he/she can form sentences. Not only this, the sentence formation skills of the student is further used as a benchmark to create paragraphs and determine the correct usage in English. The following are the 9 question types that are asked in this section

CAT 2020 Selection Procedure

After the declaration of results and cut-offs, shortlisted candidates appear in the selection process which is held separately by each of the IIMs. The selection procedure through CAT EXAM may consist of a Group Discussion and/or Written Ability Test round and, Personal Interview. In recent years, IIMs have been known to prefer Written Ability Test over Group Discussion. Check GD/PI tips for CAT 2020

A personal Interview is also an important part of the selection procedure and can prove to be a decisive factor in selection to IIMs. The final selection is based on performance in CAT and selection procedure rounds.

Written Ability Test comprises of one or more topics on which a candidate is required to write a brief essay. The time duration assigned to write an essay on the given topic varies from IIM to IIM and can be anywhere between 15 minutes to 45 minutes.

Group Discussion round is less preferred these days but it is wise to prepare for this round as well. In this round, a group of 8-10 candidates is given a topic to discuss. Through this round, a candidate’s performance and group dynamics are assessed.

The personal interview round is the final round. In this round, a candidate has to appear before a panel of 4-8 interviewers who test the candidate on their academic background, work experience, hobbies, interests, etc.

CAT 2016 Analysis

CAT 2016 was as difficult or as easy as any of the previous CAT papers. The exam was conducted on 4^th December 2016 in two different sessions across the country and more than 2 lakh applicants appeared for the exam. The test was conducted by IIM Bangalore this year. The exam was conducted smoothly across centres as per students, albeit there were a few glitches faced by few students at some centers.

The test interface was provided on the official CAT website much before the exam.

Some points about CAT 2016 to note down:

• VA RC section was broken in sub-sections of VA and RC. It comprised of 24 RC questions and 10 VA questions. The overall time available for this section was 1 hour.
• LR DI section was also broken in sub sections of LR and DI. It comprised of 16 LR questions and 16 DI questions. The overall time available for this section was 1 hour.
• QA section comprised of 34 questions and was to be attempted in the last one hour of the exam.
• There was an on-screen calculator available for basic computation
• A good number of questions in all three sections were non-MCQ. The students needed to type in the answers to these questions using the on-screen keyboard. These questions did not attract any negatives marks.

Every correct answer fetched 3 marks. A wrong answer in MCQ questions attracted a penalty of -1 mark, whereas the wrong answer in non-MCQ questions did not attract any negative marks.

The exam was reported to be of almost the same difficulty level as CAT 2015 paper. A score of about 180 out of 300 fetched students around 99 percentile in the exam. A score of 150 out of 300 fetched around 97 percentile in the exam.

Section-wise Analysis

Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension:

This section was very similar to the CAT 2015 paper. In verbal ability section, there were no questions from grammar and vocabulary. Reading comprehension had 3 passages of 6 questions each and 2 passages of 3 questions each. The passages were of moderate level and none of them were from abstract topics.

An attempt of 26 questions with 85% accuracy can be considered to be good in this section.

Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation:

This was the make-or-break section for most students in Cat 2016. The section can be categorized as difficult and time-taking. The logical reasoning sets were difficult to crack and needed lots of practice and speed to crack. Data interpretation sets were calculation-intensive.

14-15 attempts with 85% accuracy can be considered to be good in this section. Many students found this section extremely taxing and tiring, and as a result, felt fatigued by the time this section got over. Ideal strategy for this section would have been to identify three crackable sets and get 12 questions correct, and then try to maximize the scores in the easier sections.

Quantitative Aptitude:

Just like Cat 2015, this section was of easy to moderate difficulty level in Cat 2016 too. A good number of questions were short and direct, and a student with a solid foundation could have found it easy to solve at least 18 questions in this section.

An attempt of 24 questions with 85% accuracy can be considered to be good in this section.

Overall, the paper was of moderate difficulty level, and a thorough preparation coupled with mock CAT test series appearance and analysis would have helped an average student score of 150 out of 300 in the paper, or close to 97 percentile.

We are different from the conventional coaching centres.We don’t aim to create scholars! CAT has never been about solving extremely difficult questions and proving oneself to be a Maths genius! It only tests basic Maths, decision making ability and the ability to handle pressure. Most of our competitors pride themselves in giving extremely difficult questions to students in classes, study materials and Mocks. We hit the actual CAT level. Our only focus is to maximize your CAT score, not to make you a Maths genius or to project ourselves as a “Difficult” questions hub.
