2. For those candidates who are differently abled, additional support will be provided as required.
3. The CAT 2011 will have only two sections.
4. The first section is Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation;

10. Once the time ends for the first section, they will move to the second section and will no longer be able to go back.
11. A 15-minute tutorial will be provided before the start of the test, and candidates are advised to go through that carefully before starting the main examination.
12. The total duration will be two hours and thirty five minutes including the tutorial.
