CAT (Common Admission Test)

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is a competitive entrance exam used by Indian business schools, especially the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), to evaluate candidates for MBA and other management programs. It measures skills in quantitative ability, data interpretation, logical reasoning, and verbal ability. The exam is highly regarded and results help universities shortlist candidates for interviews and further selection processes. CAT is typically conducted once a year and requires thorough preparation to perform well, serving as a key step in gaining admission to top management colleges in India.
