The bulletin clearly says that it will test Quant, verbal, logical and data interpretive abilities. So, we can chill on that.

So they have made it a two and one half hour test; sorry for the misinterpretation.

So, no need to speculate unnecessarily. | i dont think so because in bulletin it was clearly stated that we occupy our seats at 10 and booklet will be issued at 10:20 and test starts at 10:30 and we will get 2.5 hours with out break to answer te question
see the bulletin and sharer ur views

The Common Admission Test 2005 test paper can be downloaded from the web-sites of Indian Institutes of Management."
So people no need to speculate about Essay or GK as a section. And also not required is the sample paper as they have said 2005 paper can be dowloaded from the website.
Is that a Guitar and 6 Chords.. !! No... they are the 6 phases ... Birth,childhood,teenage,youth,old age and death ... Strike them properly and you would get a melody !! And the chord's material ... CAT Whiskers !!!

What is interesting is that if there are no sample questions as is being said in the previous posts(I'm still downloading the bulletin), then all the candidates are in for a major surprise on D-day.  | | | | | | | |

I guess, nothing much to worry about. Its half an hour extra. May be after the FIFA World Cup, some dude at IIM, thought that they should have a 30 minutes Extra time for CAT too.. ... These guys are just pure evil mannn . You never know where they get inspired from. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
