|---|---|
| Description | Candidates are given four to five jumbled sentences that must be arranged in the correct logical order to form a coherent paragraph. These questions test logical flow, coherence, and an understanding of transition words. |
| Para Summary | A short paragraph is provided, and candidates must choose the most accurate summary from the given options. This tests comprehension, the ability to differentiate between main ideas and supporting details, and logical reasoning. |
| Odd One Out | A set of four to five sentences is given, and candidates must identify the one that does not fit into the sequence. This assesses the ability to identify logical continuity and coherence in writing. |
| Sentence Completion (Fill in the Blanks) | Though rare in recent CAT exams, this question type involves filling in the blanks with the most appropriate word or phrase based on context and grammar. |
| Critical Reasoning (Inference-Based Questions) | Candidates are given short arguments or statements and must identify conclusions, assumptions, or inferences. These questions test logical reasoning and comprehension. |
| Grammar-Based Questions | While direct grammar questions are uncommon in CAT, error detection, sentence correction, and phrase substitution sometimes appear in mock exams or other MBA entrance tests like XAT or NMAT. |
