Registrations for the Common Admission Test 2013 (CAT 2013) will begin from today and continue till September 26. Conducted by Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) to admit students to their management programmes, CAT is one of the most sought-after management exams in the country.

Besides the 13 IIMs, several other B-schools like Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi; Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad; SP Jain Institute of Management and Research, Mumbai, etc, also consider CAT scores to admit students. This year, CAT will be conducted from October 16 to November 11 across 40 cities. Last year, there were 36 locations.

CAT aspirants can buy vouchers online directly from the CAT website. The vouchers are also available through Axis Bank branches and this year 30 more branches have been added.

"IIMs give students an opportunity to pursue their career through a personally and professionally-enriching experience. During their IIM journey, if they develop the right skill-sets and are able to put their best foot forward then there will be promising career choices. CAT is their first step to achieving their goals," says Rohit Kapoor, professor IIM Indore, convenor, CAT 2013.

Similar to last year's exam pattern, CAT will have two sections. The first section will focus on quantitative ability and data interpretation, while the second will test the verbal ability and logical reasoning in a duration of 70 minutes for each section.
