The official mock test for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2024 has been released by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM), providing candidates with a valuable opportunity to familiarize themselves with the exam format and question types. The mock test is now accessible on the official IIM CAT website at iimcat.ac.in.
Key Features of the CAT 2024 Mock Test
- Purpose: The mock test aims to help candidates understand the structure of the CAT exam, including the types of questions typically asked, such as Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and Non-MCQs. It includes selected questions from previous years’ CAT papers, making it an essential tool for preparation.
- Test Structure: The mock test consists of three sections, with a total duration of 120 minutes. Each section is allotted 40 minutes, and candidates can navigate between sections using a submit button that allows them to proceed before the time is up—this feature differs from the actual exam where candidates must complete each section before moving on.
- Extra Time for PwD Candidates: Candidates belonging to the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) category will receive an additional 13 minutes and 20 seconds for each section.
