It is noteworthy that there were no significant deviations from the expected examination pattern,” Kanakadandi added. Although the exam displayed a higher level of complexity compared to its predecessor, it maintained adherence to the established framework observed in previous years. “The CAT 2023 morning session unfolded smoothly, aligning with expected criteria. Based on the student feedback received so far, the unexpectedly high difficulty level would have packed more of its punch to those in the morning slot than it would be for those in the other two slots,” Ramnath Kanakadandi, Senior Course Director, T.I.M.E said. “The difficulty, overall, for CAT 2023 in the morning slot was slightly on the higher side compared to that of all of the slots of the two previous CATs. In fact, the morning slot was more challenging than the other two slot papers held in CAT 2023, experts said. According to experts, the slot 1 paper was more complex when compared to last year’s paper.
The Common Aptitude Test (CAT) 2023 is being conducted today in three slots.
