Once the time ends for the first section, they will move to the second and will no longer be able to go back,” said the statement.

“This is a move to be student-friendly. There are many students who lose out on a seat as they would have failed to perform in one of the sections,” said prof Janakiraman Moorthy, convenor, CAT 2011. An additional five minutes have been added to the existing two-andhalf hours. This includes a 15-minute tutorial that will guide students through the process.

Bhilai, Jammu and Dehradun have been added to the existing 33 test locations. The number of testing days will remain 20. Check-in time has been reduced by half-an-hour from the previous two hours. With this
change, the afternoon sessions will start at 3.15pm.

• Additional 5 minutes (70 mins for each section)
• 30-minute reduction in reporting time
• Three new locations (Bhilai, Jammu and Dehradun)
