We all know more than sufficient knowledge for CAT topics. But, need to consolidate the info for other exams. Things needed to know are:

Extra topics that are to be prepared other than prepared for CAT. Like IIFT has trigno but CAT doesn't has.

The info required is exhaustive. like, what extra care has to be taken.

What can be the topics for XLRI essays? how they have to be prepared?
Difference between FMS exams' topics' syllabi from CAT.
many of you may be having all this info but some still need it in more consolidated manner.

1. WHat are the topics which are not important or absent in CAT but important in IIFT or comes in IIFT? Topics in Quant, VERBAL...
