CAT Syllabus 2025: Check Latest Sectional Topics & Weightage

The Common Admission Test (CAT) remains the most competitive gateway to the top IIMs and leading B-schools in India. With lakhs of aspirants preparing each year, knowing the updated syllabus and mastering the core topics is crucial.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the CAT 2025 syllabus, highlight section-wise weightage, and explain how Rahul Sir Classes (RSC) continues to be a game-changer for serious CAT aspirants.

What’s New in CAT 2025?

While the overall structure of CAT 2025 remains similar to previous years, subtle shifts in topic trends and question formats have made it essential for aspirants to focus on concept clarity and strategy. The three key sections are:

1. VARC – Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension

2. DILR – Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning

3. QA – Quantitative Aptitude

Each section is timed separately, with a total exam duration of 120 minutes. Let’s break down each section in detail.
