Hello,
An OSC (On Screen Calculator) will be available while giving the CAT exam. Yes, rough papers will also be given for calculation purposes. Good luck. -
In 2018, you had not be allowed to take calculator in exam hall. But, you got an onscreen calculator in CAT. It is advised to practice a little on this calculator, so that you don't do calculation mistakes in the exam. You got the similar calculator in mock tests also. So, while writing mocks, use the onscreen calculator and not your personal calculator. The questions asked in CAT do not have tough or big calculations. If you have practiced enough, you can solve them without calculator and it will save your time too. Use calculator only when you see tedious calculations. Hope this helps.
