CAT 2015: Changes in the exam

On July 26, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) has released the official notification of Common Admission Test (CAT) 2015.  As per the notification, CAT will go through a few changes, this year.
This year onward, a new section has been introduced i.e. Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DLIR). The candidates must note that they cannot switch the sections from one to another; the candidates are required to spend 60 minutes on each section.
According to a report in the Times of India, the professor of IIM Ahmedabad, Tathagata Bandopadhyay informed, "Last year, data interpretation (DI) was a part of QA and logical reasoning was part of VRC. However, the number of questions from each section will remain the same as last year. The decision has been taken since the three sections are supposed to test different abilities of the candidates."
This time, the duration of the examination has also been increased to 180 minutes instead of 170 minutes. He further added, "The reason behind increasing the duration by 10 minutes is to allot equal time (60 minutes) to each section. This year, the students will be given exactly an hour to complete each section. The test will automatically move to the next section once a candidate spends an hour on one segment". In order of selection, the candidates can select the four test cities. The test will be held at 650 centres across 136 cities on the same day in two sessions.
The major change in the examination process is the introduction of written answers. Last year, CAT was completely based on multiple choice based questions, but this year, some questions may not be having multiple choices. Tutorial to understand the format of the examination will be available on the official website from October 15.
