CAT Exam Pattern 2024 (Expected)

While the CAT exam pattern 2024 has not been released officially, it is likely to continue the pattern from CAT 2023.

As per the CAT 2024 sample paper released on the official website, there might be some changes in the DILR section. These changes could involve different patterns, such as one set with 2 questions, two sets with 4 questions each, and two sets with 6 questions, or possibly four sets with 5 questions each and one set with 2 questions. It's also important to keep in mind that the CAT 2024 exam pattern might not change at all. So, be mentally prepared for either case.

Here is a descriptive overview of the CAT 2024 paper pattern based on that of the previous year:
