CAT Mock Tests & Previous Year Papers
For MBA aspirants targeting the IIMs and other top B-schools. Practise in the real test interface, free.
The Common Admission Test (CAT) is India’s most competitive MBA-entrance exam, conducted by the IIMs once a year and accepted by the IIMs, FMS, MDI, SPJIMR, IITs and hundreds of other business schools.
CAT rewards accuracy, speed and question selection under pressure more than sheer coverage — exactly what full-length mocks and previous-year papers build.

CAT preparation — FAQs
Are Rodha’s CAT previous year papers free?

How many sections does CAT have and how long is it?
CAT has three sections — VARC, DILR and QA — over two hours, with 40 minutes per section. Sections are locked, so you cannot return to one once its time is over.
Does CAT have negative marking?
