Primary answer

Each section in CAT (VARC, DILR, QA) is allotted exactly 40 minutes, making the total duration 120 minutes. Candidates must complete a section within the given time before automatically moving to the next section. Unused time from one section cannot be carried forward to another. The sectional time restriction requires candidates to pre-plan their time allocation strategy within each section.
