The CAT score is used separately by each institute along with other parameters i.e.
academic performance, work experience, group discussion, written assessment and interview
performance etc. to select candidates. The weightage assigned to CAT score may differ for
each institute. Candidates are advised to read the weightage, process and breakup for each
institute on its respective website.

The candidate cannot choose a section to attempt first. The Quantitative Ability &

second section then begins with the on-screen timer counting down from 1 hour 10 minutes
again. Once the second section ends, the test will end.
|
