CAT Exam (Common Admission Test) is a computer based selection test conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) as a prerequisite for their business administration programs. Apart from the IIMs, the CAT is also a prerequisite for admissions into numerous other prestigious management colleges across India which includes institutes like S.P Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR), Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), Management Development Institute (Gurgaon), Institute of Management Technology (IMT), Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (JBIMS), International Management Institute (IMI), National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE) and several others.

The CAT exam is conducted every year by IIM’s on rotational basis and the CAT exam dates are generally declared in the month of August every year by the conducting IIM.

Hope this helps!

Dear Abhishek,CAT exam asks you mathematics of class 10th level except Permutation and Combinations(which is class 11th topic). The exam doesnot want student to mug up formulas. Just go through the basics and learn and understand all the conecpts . Go through the article , I am sharing link  https://bschool.careers360.com/articles/cat-when-and-how-start-preparations  Thank youAll the Best
