"The exam was fine - of the three sections data interpretation (DI) was the easiest; the verbal section although easy was lengthy and the Quant (quantitative analysis) section was really trying," said Prabhat Taneja, a final year engineering student at Indraprastha University Delhi.
"Verbal and DI was a breeze - quantitative, math section was a storm," Kritika Singh, a mass communication graduate told sources as she emerged from her exam centre in Noida.
The CAT exam is an annual test conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) and is the first step in the process of seeking admission to the 1,800-odd seats in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, Indore, Kozhikode, Lucknow and Shillong IIMs. Besides this year, six new IIMs are due to start.
The IIMs have implemented OBC quota from this year and have increased their seats.
The test this year was held in 230 centres in 23 cities across the country, including 60 centres for 500,000 aspirants in the National Capital Region.
CAT is considered one of the most important national standards for entrance to management institutes. Apart from the IIMs, over 50 other management institutes use the CAT score for short-listing candidates before filtering their admission with group discussions and personal interviews.
