CAT Exam Analysis Previous Years

CAT Exam Analysis for Previous Years reveals that CAT exam pattern has become more focused on conceptual clarity, time efficiency, and reasoning ability. Over the last five years, the CAT exam pattern has undergone several notable changes in its pattern, number of questions, and difficulty level. Check key changes in CAT exam pattern below.

Total Number of Questions:
o In 2019 and 2020, CAT had 100 questions (VARC: 34, DILR: 32, QA: 34).
o From 2021 onwards, the number of questions was reduced to 66 (VARC: 24, DILR: 20, QA: 22), making the test shorter but more intense.
o This pattern has continued through CAT 2023 and is expected to remain in CAT 2025.
Time Duration:
o Until 2019, CAT had a 3-hour duration (60 minutes per section).
o From 2020 onwards, the exam duration was reduced to 2 hours, with 40 minutes per section, which increased the pressure on time management.
Sectional Pattern & Difficulty Level:
o The VARC section has seen a greater emphasis on Reading Comprehension, with fewer Verbal Ability questions like Odd One Out and Para Summary.
o DILR has become more reasoning-focused, with tougher logic-based sets and fewer straightforward data interpretation questions.
o QA has shifted towards Arithmetic, making it more accessible for non-engineering background candidates.
Question Types – MCQ vs. TITA:
o The TITA (Type in the Answer) questions have fluctuated but generally make up 25-30% of the total paper.
o The number of MCQs has reduced, making the paper more unpredictable, as TITA questions do not have negative marking.
Slot-wise Variations & Normalization:
o Since CAT is conducted in multiple slots, the level of difficulty has varied across different slots, requiring score normalization to ensure fairness in percentile calculations.

CAT Previous Year Exam Pattern is as below.

Table: CAT Previous Year Exam Pattern

Sections	CAT 2019	CAT 2020	CAT 2021	CAT 2022	CAT 2023	CAT 2024

Section-2: Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR)	32	24	20	20	20	22
Section-3: Quantitative Ability (QA)	34	26	22	22	22	22
Total Questions	100	76	66	66	66	68

As evident, CAT 2019 exam consisted of 100 questions, divided into three sections: VARC (34 questions), DILR (32 questions), and QA (34 questions). In CAT 2020 exam, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the exam duration was reduced to 120 minutes, and the total number of questions was decreased to 76. The distribution was VARC (26 questions), DILR (24 questions), and QA (26 questions). Since CAT 2021, the pattern is consistent with a total of 66-68 questions.
