Non-engineers preparing for CAT 2016 need not worry about their weak Quant or Data Interpretation as number of CAT toppers are emerging from non-engineering back ground. The only clue from CAT toppers like Nishant Gupta, student of IIM Bangalore and a B.A. is to utilize every minute of yours to overcome your weak area.

CAT 2016 aspirants need not worry even if they started their preparation journey a little late. This is exactly what happened with Shikhar Garg, CAT topper and IIM Trichy student who seriously marched on his preparation journey in the month of August 2015 and cracked CAT 2015 with 98.79 percentile and converted call to many other IIMs, other top B-schools but decided upon IIM Trichy.

Steps would be taken for setting up the campus at Jammu and an out-campus in Kashmir region in future, a government statement said.

Candidates from non-engineering back ground and appearing in CAT 2016 on December 4, 2016 are worried whether IIMs really want to increase the number of non-engineers in their class rooms or it is only a gimmick.

With just 45 days to go for CAT 2016 on December 4, exam experts and aspirants are calling for release of previous year question papers to bring transparency and help students prepare well.

But now the exam is limited to 1 day 2 session testing window and test paper of either of 2 sessions can be made available to help aspirants to prepare well.
