For Tricity,only two CAT centres

Apart from this,the exam pattern of CAT 2011 has undergone some important changes. The new test will have only two sections instead of the customary three. The first section will focus on quantitative ability and data interpretation; the second on verbal ability and logical reasoning. The exam duration will be of 140 minutes and the two sections will be implemented sequentially with separate time limits of 70 minutes each. Importantly,one is not allowed to shift from one section to the other.

“This year,the role of strategy has been significantly reduced and the most important factor in CAT,time management,has been taken away and this makes a student’s job a lot easier as he only needs to focus on the questions at hand”,said Hirdesh Madan,director of coaching centre Bulls Eye.

In another significant move,all thirteen IIMs will participate in the admission process from the beginning this time. Last year,some of the institutes could not participate at the start as they were in the process of being set up. This year three IIMs at Raipur,Ranchi and Tiruchirappalli will join the older institutes in offering fellow programmes in management. In addition to the flagship PGP,IIM Ranchi will launch a post-graduate diploma in human resource management.
