Key Differences Between IIFT And CAT
Though CAT is done and dusted, aspirants would also be gearing up to take several other competitive exams for the top B-Schools in the country.

The Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, founded in 1963, selects its students through its own exams and further processes conducted for those who clear the exams. This exam is different from the CAT in both its syllabus, exam pattern, and marking system.

CAT 2018 Paper Pattern CAT came out of the bag with two thuds and one loud bang. The paper started with an ‘even easier than 2017’ VARC section. Then the level of difficulty of the DILR section provided a major reprieve to the nervous ‘jantaa’ as it broke with the trend of the last three years.
