CAT Pattern

"What is the difference between CAT score and CAT percentile?" is the most often asked question among MBA candidates.The overall marks an applicant received on the entrance exam are known as their CAT score, and the number of candidates who passed the test is known as their CAT percentile. The majority of B-schools use the overall percentile for MBA admissions, and the CAT results are reported as both a score and a percentile. Since they both have a direct impact on admission to IIMs and other prestigious B-schools, CAT score and CAT percentile are equally significant.Marks from the CAT exam are analyzed together with a few other factors to determine the CAT pecentile or relative score.As an alumni of LPU I can suggest you the best B school is the LPU (Mittal school of Business). It is known for its placement records. Faculties are the best faculty from all over the country.So if you have any kind of planning to persue MBA you can choose LPU

The CAT (Common Admission Test) exam pattern for 2023 remains consistent with the format established over the past two years. Prescribed by the IIMs, CAT 2023 features 66 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) to be solved within a time frame of 120 minutes. This duration is divided equally among the three sections of the exam, allowing 40 minutes for each section. The CAT 2023 exam pattern was officially released on July 30, concurrent with the announcement of CAT 2023 registrations. Notably, this structure has been maintained since 2020 when the exam duration and question count were reduced from 180 minutes and 100 questions, respectively, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Candidates are advised to familiarize themselves with the test structure, sectional time limits, marking scheme, and individual sections for effective preparation.
