Even after preparing hard for CAT 2016, you dont get assured of cracking the exam with good number of attempts leading to high and balanced sectional percentile. Avoiding a few repetitive mistakes, as suggested by toppers from IIMs and the experts & mentors on CAT preparation can take you out of this dilemma and can help you score a higher percentile score than you expected.

General Awareness section with 28 questions in IIFT 2016 will play a major role in taking your percentile score up or down in the merit list. Although the section has a weightage of 14% in entire exam score, in case you do not score well and do not clear the GK section cut off which remains as low as 1 mark, you are out of the race to IIFT Delhi or Kolkata campus.

Right strategy if adopted to choose and attempt the question in CAT 2016 can push up your percentile score to new heights. Last year CAT toppers with 99 and 100 percentile and studying in IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Trichy, FMS Delhi, SPJIMR share their CAT day strategy for the benefit of CAT 2016 aspirants who despite having prepared very hard are in a dilemma how to choose a question and how much time they should spend to crack it, to maximize their scores in the exam.

CAT 2016 scores will get a weightage of only 50% in the PGP 2017-19 admission at IIM Tiruchirappalli.

Last year the PGP batch size was 120 students.

Extra muscle required in CAT 2016 to attempt the 28% TITA type in the answers type questions referred as Non-MCQs must be used to attempt these questions first before proceeding to multiple choice questions, is the suggested strategy by CAT toppers and IIM students. The suggestion is based on the announced scoring pattern for CAT 2016 by IIM Bangalore that there would be no negative marking for Non-MCQs.
