CAT June Exam Papers

Hello Buddy , I want to Get C- Common Admission Test Pattern and Previous year Exam paper , Would you please give me ?

[shikha]

Admissions to all PG Diploma Courses of C-DAC are Done Through C-DAC’s Computerised Common Admission Test (C-CAT).

Candidates who clear the Dec 2016 C-CAT will only be considered for admission to C-DAC’s PG Diploma courses of Feb 2017 batch on the basis of their C-CAT ranks and centre/course preferences.

C-CAT Test Pattern :

C-CAT has three sections (Section A, Section B, Section C) of one hour duration each.

Candidate should have to either appear for just one test paper (Section A) or two test papers (Section A and Section B) or all the three test papers (Section A, Section B and Section C).

The medium of C-CAT is English.

Every section in C-CAT have 50 objective-type questions.

Each question have four choices as possible answers of which only one answer is correct.

There is +3 (plus three) marks for each correct answer, -1 (minus one) for each wrong answer, and 0 (zero) marks for each unattempted question.

The Maximum Marks a Candidate can Obtain in any one Section of C-CAT is 150.
