Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad will conduct the exam. It schedules the Common Admission Test (CAT) in November 2021 in 160 cities of India. Moreover, admit card will release at the end of October.

Convenor of Common Admission Test (CAT) MP Ram Mohan said, “Last year exam format changed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Again, we are noticing the same problem this year. Therefore, the exam format will mostly remain the same.”

Further, he said that the new format did not bother the candidates in 2020. Though there are three sections: Quantitative Ability; Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension; Data Interpretation, and Logical Reasoning. This year, the questions’ number will decrease from each section. It will eliminate the issue of time pressure in finishing off.
