Whether you are a B.com / BBA / BA / Engineering student or from diverse streams like Law, Pharmacy, Agriculture, Medical Science, etc., Master of Business Administration (MBA) helps you in faster Career growth. Even if you are an aspiring Entrepreneur, Management Education from a reputed B-school will definitely help you shape your personality and build the right Perspective.
When we talk about Good B-schools in India, names like – IIMs, FMS, S P Jain, JBIMS, IITs, etc., come on the top. All (or Most) of the Top B-school shortlist the candidates based on One Exam score, i.e. CAT. Yes, CAT is accepted by more than 50 Top rated Management colleges in India, and hence, scoring well in CAT 2023 becomes inevitable.
So, let’s understand everything about CAT 2023 and how to start the preparations for the same.
CAT 2023 Paper pattern & Syllabus
CAT 2023 will be a 3 Hour long exam consisting of 100 questions, divided into 3 sections:
1] Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehensions (VARC)
2] Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretations (LRDI)
3] Quantitative Ability (QA)
(FREE Video Links for all the Quant and LR-DI topics are provided in this article)
Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension section consists of the Questions Based on Passages, Para-jumbled, Paragraph Summary, Odd One out and few other topics. Regular reading with coverage of diverse topics helps in mastering this section.
