The questions are multiple choices type. For each incorrect answer you get negative marks. Every year, the IIMs change the question pattern to prevent predictability. It is to be noted that you have to perform well in all the three sections of the CAT as the test evaluates the overall aptitude of the student.

At the test venue, each candidate will be seated at a desk with a computer terminal and he/she will be provided with a scratch paper for calculations. After the test, candidate must leave the scratch paper at the desk. Rough work cannot be done on any other paper/sheet, as nothing will be allowed inside the testing room.
