Appearing for CAT 2024 for the first time? These tips from rediffGURUS can help:
- Remember to complete the CAT registration early on to avoid last minute hassles.
- If your CAT test centre is more than 100 km from your place of residence, you must plan to reach there a day before; maybe book a room somewhere close by.
- Do refer to the application guidelines, terms and conditions. The absence of an acceptable photograph or a valid signature might increase the chances of your application getting rejected.
- Your photo must be up-to-date. The same photograph needs to be pasted on your admit card as well, otherwise entry to the test centre may be denied.
The CAT exam is divided into three sections -- verbal ability and reading comprehension, data interpretation and logical reasoning and quantitative ability.
There will be three slots with a time duration of two hours per slot.
