What is worth noting is the way CAT 2020 exam will be conducted. Sources say, changes are being made with regards to the way the CAT 2020 exam is going to be conducted.

The changes are being done keeping in view the COVID-19 situation which is causing concern across the country.

One of the change with regards to CAT 2020 exam is the exam will be conducted in three sessions namely, morning, afternoon and evening sessions.

Morning session of CAT 2020 exam will be from 8:30 am to 10.30 am, the afternoon session will be from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. The evening session of CAT 2020 exam is from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm.

The exam used to be conducted in two sessions, this year CAT exam will be conducted in three sessions.

The second change made with regards to CAT 2020 exam is reduction of the exam duration. The exam will be conducted for a duration of 120 minutes instead of its usual 180 minutes.

CAT 2020 exam will have three sections, Section 1 will have questions related to verbal ability and reading comprehension, Section 2 will have queries related to data interpretation and logical reasoning.

Section 3 has questions related to quantitative ability.

Also the number of questions in each section is expected to witness a reduction in CAT 2020 exam.

From earlier 100 questions spread across the three sections, this time there could be a reduction of number of questions by 30 percent.

The number of questions are expected to be brought down as the duration of the exam has been brought down.

So experts feel the preparation strategy perhaps should undergo a change a bit.

As number of questions and time allotted to answer them is to be reduced, candidates have to prepare in a way that they could answer questions as fast as possible.

Even choosing questions wisely also will help. Preferring questions that can be answered quickly first will be a wise thing to do, say experts.

The difficulty levels may be the same, so cracking the exam will still need good deal of preparation, say experts.

However, a mock test link will be made available on the official website of the exam ‘www.iimcat.ac.in’ by end of October this year. And, this could give a better idea as to how the actual exam is likely to be.

The exam will be conducted on 18 May 2025.  This is for those keen on admission into IITs situated in various states of India.

The entrance exam for IIT admission will be conducted by IIT Kanpur for 2025.
