How IIMs are using CAT 2018 to take in more non-engineers
New Delhi: As their classrooms continue to be dominated by men and engineers, the Indian Institutes of Management are trying to add diversity, which will ultimately show up in corporate boardrooms over the next few years. Although the IIMs have decided not to change the broad pattern in this year’s CAT examination, yet questions will be framed in a manner to create a level field for students from all streams, including arts and commerce. IIM officials say they do not want the CAT pattern to be biased towards engineering students as there is a need for academic diversity in India’s top B-schools. What kind of questions should you expect in the CAT CAT 2018 convener and IIM Calcutta professor Sumanta Basu told Livemint that there was no significant change in the broad pattern of the CAT exam. IIM Calcutta, for example, allots only 15 points out of 50 to the CAT score the while personal interview and a written ability test together receive almost double the weight.
