CAT 2024 Slot 2 Question Paper was same as Slot 1 question paper. In terms of difficulty level and topic wise change of test paper composition. There were 16 RC based questions. The RC passages were of 400-450 words. Out of 24 questions, 2 were non-MCQ type. Parajumbles were absent in the second slot of CAT 2024 question paper.
Quantitative Aptitude was dominated by Arithmetic, as always and DILR section had 3 Logical Reasoning questions and 2 Data Interpretation set. Overall, the difficulty level was easy to moderate but time management was the key.
CAT 2026 aspirants should practice previous years’ CAT question papers so that they are familiar with question types and difficulty level. CAT 2026 will be conducted on November 29 and the best time to practice official question papers is after completing the CAT syllabus. Aim to complete the syllabus latest by September to get 2 months for practice.
