Is it necessary for me to qualify IBSAT to pursue MBA from IBS? Can I get admission in IBS on the basis of CAT or XAT exam?

Candidates can refer to How to Prepare for Logical Reasoning for CAT by Arun Sharma and DILR for CAT by Nishit K. Sinha.

Yes, Routes and Networks is an important topic for CAT DILR. It tests logical thinking, visualisation and the ability to analyse connections and pathways.

CAT does not have a fixed number of questions from Routes and Networks. The topic may appear as part of a DILR set, usually comprising 4-5 questions.

Candidates should spend no more than 1.5 to 2 minutes on an Odd One Out question.

Many top scorers spend the first 8-10 minutes tackling independent VA questions, including Odd One Out and Para Summary, before settling into long RC passages.

Candidates preparing for CAT must devise a exam day plan based on how they perform during mocks.
