The number of questions stated here is the same as CAT 2020, as nothing is clearly specified in the official notification the paper can consist of 66, 74, or any number of questions. Hence you should practice accordingly i.e., with a varying number of questions.
CATKING’s mocks (specially curated by experts from top B-schools like IIM A, FMS, IIM L) make you comfortable with this variance.Also, see –Catking Mocks
What does the CAT exam expect?
CAT exam consists of three sections –
Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC)
Data interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR)
Quantitative Aptitude (QA)
Though there is no well-defined syllabus, it’s still important to be thorough with the topics asked, to have an understanding of the exam.
Read CAT Syllabus here!
The CAT is more prominently a 3C (Comprehension, concepts, and commitment) based exam
i.e.-
1) C – Comprehension – Verbal section of this exam is all about reading and comprehending the passages, hence this makes it extremely necessary to hone your reading and comprehension skills.
2) C- Concepts and calculations – Quants and LRDI sections have concepts and calculations as their foundation. Getting a stronghold of basic concepts and mentally solving questions in quants improving your calculations can help you save the maximum amount of time in the exam.
3) C- Commitment – Nothing is possible without gradual persistence and loyalty towards preparation and thus abiding commitment is a prerequisite.
CAT Strategy for 3 months
The very initial step after knowing the syllabus is to chalk out a preparation plan. Most of the aspirants are either in college or are working professionals, hence making a plan and following it diligently comes as the biggest challenge in this journey. Hence, THE 40 DAYS CHALLENGE is strongly recommended. The 40 days challenge of CATKING is curated keeping in mind the confusion and anxiousness of students of how to complete the syllabus, thus this challenge breaks the preparation into phases so that aspirants remain focused.
The 40 days challenge just needs you to devote 2 hours every day to prepare, starting from the very basics to the advanced level of difficulty. We through this challenge make the student go through the whole CAT syllabus so that no topic is left untouched and so that they gain a basic understanding of all the topics asked. The challenge consists of a different module every week and comes with ease to be done and helps in sorting out your preparation.
Join In The 40 Days Challenge!
The first phase- Build your basics!
Starting with August, the priority for the next 1-1.5 months should be to build basic concepts for all three sections. The ultimate goal is to familiarize ourselves with the areas and types of questions found on the CAT exam, thus emphasizing the necessity of going through the whole syllabus at least once in these 40-60 days.
Section-wise strategies
Verbal
Verbal is the trickiest section of the CAT exam and the level of difficulty for this section is increasing by the year, so practicing this section becomes salient. Quick tips for this section.
Read a lot of difficult articles like AEON ESSAYS, THE GUARDIAN, EDITORIALS, etc. This will make you comfortable with uncomfortable and difficult topics and styles of writing.
Solve at least 2-4 RC passages each day and a few questions of Para jumbles, Para summary, and Odd one out.
Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning
LRDI is a make or breaks section in the CAT as apart from concepts and practices the most important thing to take care of is “SET SELECTION”. There is no straightforward tip or trick to improve in this section. However, consistent practice will help you improve your set selection.
The only way to ace this section is to PRACTICE a lot. The wider and deeper range of sets you will practice either from previous year papers, online material, cat mocks, etc., the more you will witness improvement.
Quantitative Ability
Almost 70% of the Quants question paper is of the doable level of difficulty, hence once again the point to CLEAR THE BASICS reiterates itself.
1. Go chapter-wise and then topic-wise in those chapters. One can enroll in an Online CAT Quant Course to gain a better understanding of the fundamentals.
2. Arithmetic, Geometry, Algebra, and Number Systems include 80% of the paper. Understanding these topics and practicing diligently is more than enough for acing this
3. Try Increasing your speed of calculations and do it mentally. This will help you solve questions quickly and effectively.
Mocks
A common myth amongst aspirants is to “Complete their syllabus” and then give mocks. But this myth needs to burst. It's not advisable to give frequent mocks in the first one or one and a half months at least 1 mock per week should be given to start building your test-taking strategy.
Much more is the importance of analyzing these mocks and working on your strengths and weaknesses. CAT never asks you to solve all the questions, 33% to 50% of the paper is sufficient to land you in a reputed B-school. One mock per week and then increasing the frequency
eventually to 1 mock every three days is good. (CAT LEVEL MOCKS)
Second Phase
The two months of October and November are critical for preparing for the CAT exam. This is the time to focus on mocks, finalizing your strategy, and revise the whole syllabus again. The 60 days in October and November should be used in this revision using topic and sectional tests and mocks. These tests should be thoroughly analyzed for your own SWOT analysis i.e. you should be clear with your strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats. This is time to practice your weak areas, turn them into strengths, and fine-tune your strategy.
For taking your preparation from LOD1 to LOD2 Watch
Final phase - Last-minute tips for CAT
For the last 20 days, it's crucial to revise the concepts once. Revision of mocks and their analysis for eg:- The mistakes you did in the first mock, The time-lapse in the third mock, The wrong set selection in the seventh mock, etc, each and everything should be revised. Zeroing in on the problem areas, working towards eliminating these problems, and avoiding committing the same mistakes in exams is the key. Taking mocks and proper revision multiple times will ensure you a great score in the exam. Lastly, more than aptitude CAT is a mind game that tests your calmness and patience in a pressurized environment. Trusting your efforts and believing in yourself will make you the ultimate winner.
All the Best!

For detailed QA strategy, click hereSome Important Tips for IIFT
IIFT is a speed-based exam. So work on your speed. The more mocks you appear, the better your speed would be! It’s all about time-management.
Sectional cut-off is really low. Don’t forget to answer and clear the minimum sectional cut-off for each section first. No matter if you end up scoring a 99 percentile but if you failed to clear the sectional cut-off of any 1 section even, you won’t be shortlisted.
Some essential topics to prepare for GK are: Current affairs, Economics, Politics, Science, Sports, History, Books, Geography, Business and Trade-related news.
There is negative marking in IIFT. So be consistent with your accuracy even in the mock exams. Mark the questions which you are absolutely sure of or you could go for logical or intelligent guesswork if confused between 2 options. But don’t attempt the questions if you don’t know.
It is an exam of your speed and accuracy. So practice what is going to work for you and take you ahead of others. Take mocks, run through them & analyze every mock properly!
Giving Mocks is the only strategy to ace this exam. Practicing from previous year’s papers is of immense help but you need to appear all the mocks before the actual exam. Analyze your strengths and weakness. Keep working on yourself and keep on improving till the actual exam.
Believe in yourself. Don’t underestimate yourself. “You can & you will do it!” Be confident and stay motivated all throughout your preparation. Keep working hard until you succeed. All the best!

Click here to get trained by IIMs, NMIMS, and SIBM Alumni!In SIBM, a typical day starts at 8 in the morning, when after grabbing a fast bite from the mess, we rush to the school rooms to attend our lectures. One gets to experience a varied opinion on the mess food from people on campus, so to satisfy the taste buds of the people with a penchant for pickiness in food, they need the posh of getting to Delhi Chat or Symbieats, to possess a meal of their liking. The lectures, on the opposite hand, are engaging yet tiring at an equivalent time.Post lectures, students re-energize themselves by pursuing their hobbies and interests. a number of us play sports like cricket, football, badminton, Ping-Pong, and basketball, while others may prefer spending their time singing and dancing. The Lavale hilltop heaven brings together as many as six different campuses under one umbrella, giving us the prospect to interact and ‘network’ with different people from diverse regions and cultures. Making lifelong friends along this exciting journey is what makes the MBA life in SIBM worthwhile. Apart from sports and other extracurricular activities, students also get an opportunity to participate in various b- school competitions. These competitions provide them with a chance to interact with industry professionals and alumni, preparing them for the company life ahead. B-school competitions are a drive-in for any top MBA college within the country, and SIBM being one among the absolute best allows its students the chance to participate within the topmost competitions.SIBM Pune also boasts of a student-driven culture, where they take hold to represent the school to the surface world. There are a complete 9 councils and 6 interest groups which give the scholars an opportunity to use their deciding and communication abilities in places where it matters the foremost. Juggling studies, competitions, and council work, then leaving a while for other recreation is what makes the scholars of SIBM corporate ready. It hones time management skills while teaching the importance of prioritizing the tasks at hand. It's this rigor through exposure that separates SIBM from most other b-schools within the country.Within the campus, another highlight for any student is the hostel life. Staying far away from home, but finding friends who you'll call family may be a truly remarkable experience. These are people that will laugh with you during your joyous days and share your burden during your tough times. you'll attend classes together, complete assignments, participate in competitions, play different sports, and even spend the occasional cold Pune night during a hostel room playing cards while taking note of some loud music.Talking about life at SIBM is incomplete without mentioning the weekend shenanigans. The weekends are when the campus is least populated because almost everyone goes bent exploring the town and eat something aside from mess food. There are multiple food joints within the city that magnetize students year-round. Albeit the 2 years travel by within the blink of an eye fixed, the memories we create will stay for a lifetime.

June and July are the months when students realize they must take the CAT. If you plan your 5 months properly, you will have more than enough time to prepare for the exam! CAT Online Coaching has many advantages over traditional classroom programs. However, because CAT preparation is self-directed, a few things must be addressed during the course of preparation. Let us find a toppers way to CAT Preparation in 5 months
Start Your IIM Journey withCAT Online Courses
CAT Exam Pattern
CAT 2021 Exam Components
Likely CAT 2021 Pattern (If Covid situation does not improve)
Preparing for any entrance exam necessitates a well-thought-out strategy! Here's one that can give you the broad strokes of what you need to do to get into the coveted IIMs also executed by a 100 percentile topper who is in his dream B-school.
1. Building Foundations
Starting with July-August, the first basic thing is to build on our basic concepts for all three sections. The goal of these two months would be to become completely familiar with the areas, topics, concepts, and types of questions found on the CAT exam. During July and August, the emphasis should be ongoing over all of the topics in all areas of the CAT, namely, QA, DILR, and VARC. The first two months must be used for the first round of exam preparation in all areas using a simple method known as CAT!
CAT Syllabus
2. Fundamentals of Commitment, Assess & Theory (CAT)
Commitment: Solve exercises to apply the concepts/formulas learned.
Assess: Conducting topic-specific tests to evaluate your speed and strategy.
Theory: Learn all of the fundamental concepts and formulae for each topic.
In addition to the foregoing, one must begin taking Mock CATs. For July and August, one mock should be taken every two weeks, and from August onwards, two to three mocks should be taken every week.
3. CAT Preparation in 5 months: Verbal Ability
Read as much as you can and try to understand what you're reading.
Reading newspaper editorials and opinions will help you improve your reading speed and comprehension.
Every day, solve at least four passages and a few questions from Critical Reasoning, Para Completion, and Para Jumbles.
The majority of the practice for this section can be obtained from an Online Verbal Ability Course and mocks, and you can improve greatly if you work hard.
4. CAT Preparation in 5 months: Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning
LRDI is a scoring section in the CAT that is especially important for those who struggle with other sections. There is no easy, convenient, or straightforward way to improve in the LRDI section. However, with consistent practice and applying a few methods, you can significantly improve your performance.
Solve the problem using a diagram or a table. This will improve the speed with which you can discern the information in the passage.
Solve puzzle games such as Sudoku, crossword puzzles, and so on.
Try as many questions from the online mock test or sample paper as you can.
5. CAT Preparation in 5 months: Quantitative Ability
When preparing for the Quant section, focus on the number of correct answers rather than the number of attempts. This section will include all types of questions, from simple to difficult. When it comes to answering these questions, speed is crucial. The following are the five most important tips for excelling in the Quantitative Ability section:
Chapter by chapter practice. Learn the fundamental theories and types of problems covered in each chapter. One can enroll in an Online CAT Quant Course to gain a better understanding of the fundamentals.
Arithmetic, Geometry, Algebra, and Number Systems are the main topics in CAT. If you study for 3 hours on weekdays and 6 hours on weekends (excluding coaching time), you will have 60+48=108 hours in a month to work on your fundamentals, plus the time spent in class.
Divide it now in the ratio 2:2:1:1 Arithmetic, Geometry, Algebra, and Number Systems
Arithmetic: The emphasis should be on ratios and percentages. Once you've figured it out and are proficient in it, calculations for not only QA but also DI-LR will become extremely simple.
Remainders, Divisibility, and Cyclicity are all important in Number Systems. This chapter is crucial in its entirety.
Algebra: Emphasis should be placed on quadratic equations, inequalities, sequences, and series (AP-GP).
Geometry and Mensuration: The entire chapter is crucial. Simply learn the fundamental properties of figures, particularly triangles and circles. For example, if a question arises regarding the value of each external angle in a hexagon, you should be able to determine whether or not a formula should be used.
Increase your speed. While doing the practice, study for 3-4 hours at a time.
To adequately prepare for this section of the CAT, complete at least 20-25 mock tests.
The two months of September and October are critical for preparing for the CAT exam. One must work on strategy, revise, and continue to take full-length mock CATs. Furthermore, now is the time to test out different exam-taking strategies. The 60 days in September and October must be used for the second revision of all concepts via topic-specific tests and section-specific tests. and monitor the progress in each specific topic or area of the exam.
Full-length CAT Mock Tests should be used to fine-tune one's strategy and arrive at a strategy that provides the most benefits. Please keep in mind that there is no one best strategy, and the strategy should be tailored to each individual's strengths and weaknesses.
How to prepare for CAT in 3 months
6. Final Lap Before the Exam
The last 25 days before CAT would be the final assault on the exam! Selective revision, mock CATs, and additional sectional tests are required here, and finalizing exam strategy. After each mock, the main requirements in November would be a thorough analysis of each section, zeroing in on the problem areas, working towards eliminating these problem areas, and, most importantly, strengthening the mental ability to crack this exam.
Aptitude has a time validity attached to it. With these pointers, you'll be ready for CAT exam. Take a lot of mock tests to ensure that you are completely prepared to answer the CAT questions. So, preparing for the CAT in 5 months is not too difficult if one prepares smartly and efficiently.Fill gaps if they still crop up and be as relaxed as possible
