CAT does not prescribe a fixed syllabus, but it is broadly based on topics from Classes 9 and 10 mathematics and general aptitude. VARC includes Reading Comprehension (major portion), Para Jumbles, Para Summary, Odd Sentence Out, and grammar-based questions. DILR includes Data Interpretation (tables, bar graphs, pie charts, caselets) and Logical Reasoning (seating arrangement, puzzles, blood relations, scheduling, arrangements). QA includes Arithmetic (percentages, profit & loss, time & work, time-speed-distance), Algebra (linear equations, inequalities, functions), Geometry (triangles, circles, mensuration), Number Systems, and Modern Math (permutation & combination, probability). The emphasis and difficulty level may vary annually.
