All candidates will first be presented with the section on Quantitative Ability (QA) & Data Interpretation (DI).

A countdown timer set at 1 hour 10 minutes (i.e. 70 minutes) will appear on the top-right corner of every screen. Candidates can navigate within this section using the "Next", ‘Previous" and "Review" buttons. Since the two sections are separately timed, test takers can focus all their energies on one section at a time.

Once the time ends for the first section, candidates will no longer be able to go back to it.

The second section on Verbal Ability (VA) and Logical Reasoning (LR) will then begin, with a fresh timer counting down once again from 1 hour 10 minutes. Security is taken very seriously at Prometric.

The security measures in place for CAT protect candidates by ensuring genuine and legitimate scores are used to select students for placement into IIM and other B-School programmes. All testing areas will be audio and video recorded and any suspicious or disruptive behaviour could lead to a candidate's test being invalidated by the IIMs.
