CAT 2023: In India, the CAT is regarded as one of the hardest management entrance exams. Therefore, it's critical to design a study plan based on the CAT 2023 topic weighting. The three portions (VARC, QA, and DILR) of the 66-item question paper are scheduled to be completed in two hours, following the CAT exam pattern. To learn more about the specifics of the CAT topic weighting for each part, carefully read this article.
The VARC section in the CAT exam evaluates student’s language proficiency, reading comprehension skills, and verbal reasoning abilities. The QA section in CAT 2023 assesses students’ mathematical and analytical abilities. The CAT DILR section evaluates students’ ability to analyze and interpret data, solve complex puzzles, and make logical decisions. Here you can see the expected CAT subject-wise weightage of VARC, QA, and DILR in the exam based on trends.
The CAT syllabus consists of three divisions, each of which has a distinct weight on the CAT question paper. Despite the syllabus being organized into three sections, there are five sections because the DILR and VARC sections are further broken into two sub-sections each. Find out more below.
