On Question asked by student community
It's definitely possible to find CUSAT CAT Chapter-wise Previous Year Questions (PYQs), though they might not be consolidated into one single official book.
Here's the best approach, based on the question paper information:
Online Repositories: The official CUSAT website often provides PDF dumps of the full question papers (like the one linked in the Careers360 article). You'll need to manually sort the questions chapter-wise or subject-wise (Physics, Chemistry, Maths).
Publisher Guides: Specialized coaching institutes or publishers create comprehensive guides that have already performed the chapter-wise sorting for you.
Focus Subjects: Since the exam covers your Class 11 and 12 PCM syllabus, using JEE Main chapter-wise books for practice is often a highly effective substitute for the CUSAT paper format.
Consistent practice with these organized questions is the key to cracking the exam! Check the resource page for question paper updates. https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/cusat-cat-question-paper
Hello,
Since the CAT application form correction window is closed, you must contact the CAT help desk immediately to explain the situation, as you can't edit a wrong date of birth after submission. If it's a major error like date of birth, you may need to go to the exam center with proof and the correct admit card, although getting it corrected before the exam date is the most important first step.
I hope it will clear your query!!
Hi there,
You have to apply separately for each symbiosis college, like SIBM Pune, as they as not automatically included. The CAT form automatically includes many IIMs, but the SNAP exam is a separate test that is given for admission to Symbiosis Institute, which requires its own separate application and fee.
Hope it helps!!!
Toppers usually study 3–6 focused hours a day, but it’s not just about time — it’s about smart preparation and consistency. Focus on quality practice, regular mocks, and targeted revision.
