CAT is a entrance exam conducted by Indian Institutes of Management (IIM), on rotation in India. Previous year question papers are one of the most reliable ways to understand how CAT is actually structured — the range of topics it draws from, how difficulty is distributed across the paper, and the pattern of marks awarded to each section. Working through real CAT papers from past years, rather than only practice material written to resemble them, gives a much more accurate sense of what to expect on exam day.
On this page you can browse every CAT paper currently available by year and by subject. Each paper links through to its own page with exact session and shift details (where applicable), the paper's language, and a direct link to view the PDF — sourced from Indian Institutes of Management (IIM), on rotation or an authorized official source, with the source and copyright status of every paper clearly labeled.
