The CAT exam has a specific syllabus, and it is common to prepare for it so as to devote adequate time to each section. The test is made up of three main sections:

  • Quantitative Aptitude: Arithmetic, mensuration, geometry time and work, number system, and algebra.
  • Logical reasoning and Data Interpretation: Seating Arrangement, Syllogism, puzzles, blood relation, data case lets, graphs, decoding, and coding tables.
  • Verbal ability and reading comprehension: Para summary, Para jumbles, verbal ability, reading comprehension, and odd sentence out.

In the case of the IIM Investment Banking and Capital Markets course offered by Imarticus in collaboration with IMM Calcutta, this exam is not a prerequisite to apply for the program. However, of course, other requirements must be met in order to apply.
