The CAT consists of three sections:
- Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC)
- Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR)
- Quantitative Ability (QA)
The exam follows a computer-based format and includes multiple-choice questions and non-MCQs.

Candidates must hold a Bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 50% marks (or 45% for SC/ST/PWD candidates).
Final year students can also apply provided they complete their degree before the admission process commences.

The CAT is widely recognized as a gateway to prestigious MBA programs in India, particularly the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs).
It tests candidates' analytical and problem-solving skills, making it a crucial element for management aspirants.
