IIM Lucknow conducted the 2017 CAT after 7 years. The institute is known to be quant-oriented. The quant section is generally most difficult on years, IIM Lucknow set the question paper. But an overall balance is maintained in terms of difficulty. If the quant section is difficult, the other section will be comparably easy. 

It is natural for B-Schools to stick to their forte. But that does not mean you need to change your preparation strategy. Rather than trying anything new, you should try to strengthen your skills.

It was in 2017 that IIM Lucknow conducted CAT. The level of difficulty was almost the same, like in 2010. It was claimed that the CAT 2017 DILR section was known to be the toughest.

CAT 2017 included 3 sections:

  • DILR (Data Interpretation Logical Reasoning): This was the toughest section of the exam, mentioned by the students.
  • VARC (Verbal Ability Reading Comprehension): Following the DI LR section, VARC was considered to be the 2nd most difficult section of CAT 2017.
  • QA (Quantitative Ability): This was comparatively the easiest section among all.

Strategies to perform well in CAT include covering all the topics, Maintaining accuracy in all the sections, Solving previous years question papers, Focussing on your strong areas when the exam is nearer and do not start a difficult, new topic, if it is not already prepared.
