CAT 2007 Verdict Out: Math tough, English easy

It was a big day on Sunday for MBA aspirants as nearly 2 lakh of them took the CAT (Common Admission Test) in 23 cities across the country for admission into B-schools.

About 35,000 students from the Delhi region appeared for the test, sources said.

Many of the city’s students said while they found the Math section of the exam tough, English was easy. “Paper was not a balanced one. Math was tough,” said one student. “The easiest was verbal section. English was easy but Math was tough,” said another.

The 150 minute test evaluates candidates on their quantitative skill, verbal ability and logical reasoning.

The total number of seats in IIMs this year is expected to be in the range of 1700. Currently, 15 per cent and 7.5 per cent seats are reserved for SCs and STs respectively, while 3 per cent of the seats are reserved for people with disabilities.
