Questions related to CAT

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to CAT ?

i ha e alr3ady made the payment for cat form and i shows payment status as S, do i need to make another payment as it shows payment unsuccessful in cat form

Hello Aspirant,

Since your payment status shows "S" , it means your payment is successful. The "payment unsuccessful" message on the form is likely a temporary system error or a delay in updating.

Do not make another payment.

Making a second payment could cause a double debit, which is difficult to get a refund for. You should:

Wait 24-48 hours for the status to update automatically.
Download and save a copy of your form and a screenshot of the "S" payment status as proof.
Check your bank statement to confirm the money has been debited.
If the issue is not fixed after 48 hours, contact the official CAT helpdesk immediately with your transaction details.

I filled the CAT form the day before yesterday,and while making the payment,the page showed an error.However,the money was deducted from my acount,and I also received an email confirming my application submission.When I logged into the website again,I was able to downlaod the appication form,where the payment status was shown as "S" . But on the homepage,it is said that my application was saved, but the previous payment has failed,and I needed to go to the "Go to Application" section and there was an option to make the payment again.Could someone please tell me what I am supposed to do now?

Since your application shows payment status as “S” and you received a confirmation email, your payment likely went through.

Don’t pay again.
Take screenshots of your confirmation email, downloaded form, and bank transaction.
Immediately contact the official CAT helpdesk here:
https://iimcat.ac.in/cat2025/helpdesk.php
Attach all proof and explain the issue.
Wait for their reply to avoid paying twice.

Directions for question:

Two friends Moloy and Niloy passed out from the Purulia Institute of Science and Technology with B.Tech degrees in Mechanical Engineering, but even after a year placement was hard to find. So they decided to take the challenge head-on, came down to Kolkata, rented a garage space on Park Street, and having an affinity towards making people enjoy good food, started their firm named 'B.Tech Bread-Omlette Wala'.

They started with three items on the menu. One was the French Toast which could be prepared in 3 minutes. The second was the Egg Tortillas which took 15 minutes to prepare. Any one of Moloy and Niloy could prepare any one of them at a time. The third was the Egg Bhurji with French Fries. This however was prepared on an automated fryer which could prepare 3 servings at a time and took 5 minutes irrespective of the number of servings equal to or below 3. The fryer did not need anyone to attend to it, and the time to put in the raw ingredients could be neglected. So one could tend to the preparation of other items while the Egg Bhurji with French Fries were being prepared.

They wanted to serve the orders as early as possible after the order was given. The individual items in any order were served as and when all the items were ready, and the order was then considered closed. None of the items on the menu were prepared in advance in anticipation of future orders.

On the first day, 3 groups of customers came in and ordered at 6.00 pm, 6.10 pm, and 6.13 pm. The first order was for a plate of Egg Tortillas, two plates of French Toast, and three plates of Egg Bhurji with French Fries. The second order was for a plate of French Toast and two plates of Egg Bhurji with French Fries. The third order was for a plate of Egg Tortilla and a plate of Egg Bhurji with French Fries.
