CAT Examination Pattern
The CAT (Common Admission Test) is a computer-based exam used for admission to the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and other prestigious business schools across India, including XLRI, FMS, and SP Jain. Known for its unpredictable difficulty and dynamic sectional patterns, the CAT is a highly competitive and challenging test that demands strategic time management, as each section is timed independently.
The exam consists of three main sections: Quantitative Ability (QA), Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), and Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR). Each section lasts 40 minutes, making the total test duration 120 minutes. The question formats include multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and non-MCQ (Type In The Answer – TITA) questions. The QA and DILR sections contain 22 questions each, while the VARC section has 24 questions. Scores are calculated using a scaled system to balance varying difficulty levels across different test slots, with the maximum possible score being 204. Candidates receive individual percentile rankings for each section as well as an overall percentile.
CAT results are generally released a few weeks after the exam, and candidates can download their scorecards from the official IIM CAT website. These scorecards display both scaled scores and percentile rankings, which play a crucial role in shortlisting candidates for interviews by IIMs and other top B-schools. CAT scores are valid for one year and are accepted by many reputed MBA programs throughout India.
At GradSquare Potheri, our in-person CAT coaching goes beyond simple test preparation. We offer personalized score analysis sessions to help students interpret their CAT results and align their strategies with their MBA goals. Whether you aim for the IIMs or other elite B-schools, our expert mentors in Chennai provide structured training, individual mentoring, and data-driven guidance throughout every stage of the admissions process.

When are the CAT Exam & IIM Interviews Conducted?
The Common Admission Test (CAT) is typically conducted once a year on the last Sunday of November. The official notification is released by the conducting Indian Institute of Management (IIM), which rotates annually, usually around July or early August. This notification provides key information such as important dates, eligibility criteria, and registration details. Registration for the exam opens in early August and generally closes by mid-September.
On exam day, the CAT is held in three slots across hundreds of test centers throughout India. Results are announced in early January, about six weeks after the exam. The scorecard includes scaled scores for each section as well as an overall score, along with percentile rankings that play a critical role in shortlisting candidates for the IIMs and other top business schools.
After the results are declared, each IIM releases its shortlist based on CAT scores, academic background, work experience, and diversity factors. The selection process typically involves Personal Interviews (PI), Written Ability Tests (WAT), and sometimes Group Discussions (GD), conducted between February and April. Final admission offers are usually made by April or May, allowing selected candidates to prepare for the MBA program starting around June or July.
This well-defined timeline guides aspirants from exam preparation and registration through to the final admission process, helping them navigate entry into India’s most prestigious management institutes.
When to Start CAT Preparation?
The ideal time to begin preparing for the CAT exam is approximately nine to twelve months before the test date, which usually falls in late November. At our Tambaram coaching center, we recommend this preparation timeline to help you build a strong conceptual foundation, familiarize yourself with the CAT exam pattern, and develop effective strategies for all three sections: Quantitative Ability (QA), Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), and Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR).
Starting early allows you to establish a consistent study routine, providing ample time to identify and improve on your weaker areas. Whether it’s tackling reading comprehension, solving logical puzzles, or mastering advanced math topics like algebra and number systems, a well-paced plan ensures you strengthen your fundamentals before progressing to timed practice sessions and mock tests.
Early preparation also reduces last-minute stress and builds your confidence as the exam approaches. You’ll have sufficient time to take full-length mock CATs, analyze your results, and refine your time management and question-selection strategies—critical skills for achieving a high percentile.
Ready to jumpstart your CAT journey? Join GradSquare’s CAT Coaching in Potheri today. With expert mentors, structured learning plans, and personalized guidance, we support you every step of the way—from your first class all the way to securing admission in a top B-school.

Best Guidance and support for students who re serious about their aspirationsPosted on Sarath Mathew Jacob9 June 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Happy to share that I had a wonderful time at Gradsquare preparing for the CAT exam and GDPI process. As someone who was entirely new to this entire process, I was fortunate to have had such wonderful mentors at Gradsquare who guided me through each and every step of the way. Mentors at Gradsquare helped me identify my weaknesses and helped me find my own strategy that was best suited for my strengths. What stood out for me was Gradsquare's approach which was different from the conventional approach of other coaching centres of using long hours to conduct classes, which in my opinion really doesn't help much, however they never hesitated to take long hours to clear our doubts which according to me was the key instrument in helping me succeed. Also, the Gradsquare portal is super easy to handle and it really makes your prep easy to assess and follow. I wholeheartedly endorse Gradsquare for anyone who is willing to give your best shot at converting a top B-School.Posted on Revati Dw29 May 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I joined GradSquare for both CAT and GDPI prep and I wholeheartedly recommend the same to anyone serious about MBA Entrance examinations. The faculty at GradSquare is top-notch, to say the least. The mentors are always approachable and ready to offer guidance. For CAT prep, they did their best to enable all aspirants to approach the paper methodically by conducting one-on-one mock discussions and for their GDPI prep, they left no stone unturned to ensure that the students were well prepared for their interviews at various B-schools. Additionally, during the GDPI prep, the mentors carefully assess the strengths and weaknesses of the students, tailor their approach accordingly and provide detailed feedback to make sure that the students present the best version of themselves during their interviews. I am truly thankful to GradSquare for their unwavering support and expert guidance throughout my MBA Admission journey.Posted on Anshika Agarwal14 May 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The Mentors at Gradsquare cleared all the concepts for all three sections of CAT and were there for solving any sorts of doubts I had. Coming to my WAT/GDPI prep, as an Engineer, I had a tough time grasping and understanding some basic accounts and economic stuffs, but the mentors at Gradsquare made all the concepts crystal clear through various live sessions and case studies. The live sessions from various industry experts and alumni from different Bschools gave us great insights from the different sectors of the industry and enhanced our general understanding and knowledge. A big thanks to Team Gradsquare and all the mentors for helping me ace my Bschool admission journey. Would definitely recommend anyone planning to kickstart their MBA Admissions journey.Posted on diya sen3 May 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
