Ahmedabad, 24 September 2021: Approximately 2.31 lakh candidates have registered successfully for Common Admission Test (CAT) 2021. The extended CAT registration was closed on 22 September  2021 at 5:00 pm.

In a press statement, IIM Ahmedabad stated that the format of the test will remain same as last year, i.e. there will be three shifts of 2-hour examination comprising three sections: i) Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension, ii) Quantitative Ability, and iii) Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning. Candidates will be given 40 minutes for each section, PwD candidates will get 13 minutes and 20 seconds extra for each section.

Number of Questions to Decrease: Last year’s CAT format changes were necessitated due to Covid-19 pandemic. Since we are seeing the same pandemic issue this year, the CAT 2021 exam format and pattern will remain the same. However, considering that there could have been time pressure to complete the CAT exam last year on account of changes made, for CAT 2021 the CAT Committee is making an attempt in reducing the number of questions across all the three sections – QA, DILR and VARC.

CAT 2021 is scheduled to be conducted at over 400 Test Centres, spread across 159 cities in India on 28 November 2021 (Sunday).

Mock Test/Tutorials to understand the format of the test will be available on the CAT website from the last week of October 2021. Candidates are advised to work on the tutorials available on the CAT website well in advance.

Registration Form Edit Window: A 3-days window from 10.00 am on 25 September, 2021 to 5.00 pm on 27 September, 2021 will be available for candidates to edit the following fields in the application form (if required). Candidates are advised to check CAT website regularly for updates on Edit window as well as for other information.
