CAT is not of 3 hrs!! It's 2.5 hrs.

Let this thread die down automatically without any replies. Lets me see how much patience PG members have, afterall CAT also tests ur patience.

Any new post after this gets a groan & an official warning from me.
Please don't spread rumours by replying to this thread.

I guess any one preparing for CAT would be aware that this was a mistake....rather a misprint in TOI.

Isnt it??

Hi everyone...

There is an article in TOI stating that CAT 2006 duration has been increased to 3 hours from 2 1/2 hours.
Admission director IIMB said that they felt students would need more time to tacle this year's format.
Do read the article...
And any experts have a take on this?

What do you expect.. its T0I...

Ok, enough!

Now stop posting unnecessarily, let this thread die down automatically without any replies. Lets me see how much patience PG members have, afterall CAT also tests ur patience.

Any new post after this gets a groan from me.

Record 1.91 lakh candidates to take CAT on Nov. 19
TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Bangalore: Around 1.91 lakh candidates will appear for the Common Admission Test (CAT), a passport to the IIMs and big salaries, on November 19.
The decision by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) to cut down on the number of applicants by increasing the eligibility criteria to 50% score in graduation has backfired with the number of applicants swelling from 1.70 lakh last year to around 1.91 lakh this year. Last year, 1.57 lakh candidates actually appeared for the test.
For the first time, the duration of the test has been extended by half an hour. But IIMs candidate-friendly measures like online application and interactive voice response service (IVRS) have not gone down well with aspirants. This year, 21,750 OBC candidates have applied for the CAT. Depending on the extent of expansion, each IIM will select candidates.

Today i also read the same article.Total time of test is 2 and half only.The half an hour before that we have to enter the test room for some formalities.
