CAT

Candidates must maintain a dedicated formula sheet for properties of polygons, circle theorems, and mensuration formulas. Instead of memorising blindly, candidates must solve 15-20 problems for each sub-topic to understand how and when to apply each formula.

It is technically possible to get 99 percentile in CAT Quants if a candidates obtains a perfect score in Arithmetic and Algebra. However, it can be highly risky as CAT exam often has Geometry questions aligned with Algebra or Coordinate systems. Sometimes candidates must know two different concepts to solve one question. Therefore, skipping the entire module means leaving some questions from other topics as well.

Triangles (properties, similarity, congruence, and theorems) is the most heavily tested sub-topic in CAT exam. Other high-yield areas include Circles (tangents, chords, and cyclic quadrilaterals), Mensuration (area and volume of 2D/3D shapes), and Coordinate Geometry.

Geometry is a an important topic in the Quantitative Aptitude (QA) section. Candidates can typically expect 3 to 5 questions out of the 22 total QA questions, making up roughly 15% to 20% of the section.

Candidates should first understand basic concepts, including divisibility rules, prime factorisation, HCF and LCM, and remainders. They should then solve topic-wise practice questions and previous years' CAT questions to improve accuracy and problem-solving speed.

There is no fixed number of questions from the Number System in CAT. The number of questions varies across exam slots and years. Candidates should prepare the topic along with other important areas of Quantitative Aptitude.

Yes, the Number System is an important topic for CAT Quantitative Aptitude. Questions may test concepts such as divisibility, remainders, factors, and properties of integers. Candidates should also practise applying these concepts to different question types.

Yes, the Number System is an important topic for CAT Quantitative Aptitude. Questions may test concepts such as divisibility, remainders, factors, and properties of integers. Candidates should also practise applying these concepts to different question types.

The CAT Number System covers topics such as divisibility rules, factors and multiples, prime numbers, HCF and LCM, remainders, unit digits, factorials, integers, rational numbers, and properties of numbers.

From what I know, a CAT percentile of around 60–70 or above may be worth asking GIBS about for scholarship eligibility, but the exact criteria can change with the admission batch. I did my PGDM at GIBS Bangalore, and I received a scholarship, which made the fees more manageable for me.

• A higher CAT percentile can help with scholarship eligibility.

• The scholarship criteria may vary depending on the current admission policy.

• It's best to confirm the latest requirements directly with the GIBS admissions team.

I'd suggest checking with them before applying so you know what score to aim for. All the best!
