CAT 2024: Easier paper, slight changes in pattern
The Free Press Journal|November 26, 2024
The Common Admission Test (CAT) 2024, organized by the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Calcutta, took place on Sunday, November 24.

The highly anticipated exam was held in three slots: 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM, 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM, and 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Approximately 2.90 lakh candidates appeared for the exam, out of the 3.29 lakh who registered, with 8,000-10,000 aspirants from Gujarat alone.

This year's CAT paper received mixed reactions from candidates. Many described the paper as "easier to moderate" compared to the past three years. Coaching expert Manish Shah echoed this sentiment, highlighting that the overall difficulty had reduced. However, specific sections and structural changes brought unique challenges.
