Format of CAT
The format of CAT remains the same except that it would be a computer based test (CBT). Please note that it would not be an internet based test. In other words, instead of answering the questions in a paper booklet and darkening the circles on the answer-sheet, you will read the questions on a computer and choose an answer by clicking on the correct option.

The CAT 2010 Vouchers can be obtained from the selected branches of Axis Bank during the period from Monday, 30 August 2010 to Monday 27 September 2010 for Rs. 1400/- (Rs. 700/- for SC/ST candidates).
