The IIM Indore is expected to conduct the CAT 2026 exam and will likely release the detailed CAT syllabus along with the official notification in July 2026.
The CAT Syllabus will have 3 main sections: Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension (VARC), Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Quantitative Aptitude (QA).
The CAT 2026 exam is expected to follow a similar pattern to the CAT 2025.
A total of 68 questions will be divided into 3 sections in 120 minutes, with a 40-minute strict sectional limit.
Over the last 5 years, Arithmetic and Algebra have contributed to 45–50% of QA questions, while Reading Comprehension forms about 70% of the VARC section.

CAT Syllabus 2026 Preparation Strategy
If there’s one thing every CAT topper agrees on, it’s this: CAT is not about solving everything, it’s about solving the right questions with the right strategy.
Based on recent trends and experts analysis, even in a slightly tougher paper, 30–33 correct questions out of 68 can get you a 95–99th percentile. That’s less than 50% accuracy.
CAT 9-Month Phase-Wise Plan to Target 99 Percentile
You can prepare well for the CAT 2026 Exam in 9 months with a full, detailed, and strategic approach.
Step 1: Foundation Building (Month 1–3)
- A strong foundation is crucial; it includes NCERT books from classes 8-10 and coaching materials such as CAT King Family’s LOD (Level of Difficulty) books.
- Foundation topics include formulas, geometry, arithmetic, algebra, number systems, coordinate geometry, permutations, combinations, and probability.
- This foundational phase is expected to take about 3 months.
Step 2: Speed & Shortcut Mastery (Month 4–6)
- The next 3 months focus on learning shortcuts to solve questions faster, as the CAT exam has strict time limits: 3 sections of 40 minutes each.
- Without shortcuts, solving the paper within the time frame is not feasible.
Step 3: Mock Tests & Performance Optimization (Months 7–9)
- The last 3 months involve taking mock tests, refining shortcuts, and focusing on important and scoring topics.
- The speaker stresses honesty and realism: even toppers solve around 50% of the paper, with 30 questions out of 68 often enough to score 90-99 percentile.
CAT 2026 Subject-wise Preparation
CAT 2026 Recommended Books
The following Books are recommended by
@catking To prepare for the CAT 2026, you only require 2–3 good books per section, along with deep practice. Most books take you from beginner to advanced, so you don’t need too many resources- Quant: Start with basics (NCERT, R.S. Aggarwal), then move to concept building (Arun Sharma), and finally advanced problems & shortcuts (Sarvesh Verma)
- VARC: Focus more on reading and understanding, not mugging; books like Word Power Made Easy help, but RC practice is more important
- DILR: Fewer books are enough, but consistent practice of different sets is the key

CAT 2026 Mock Test
The mock tests play an important role in the preparation for the CAT exam. It provides you with the real time simulation of the exam.
- In the first 3 months (0–2 mocks), the focus is on building concepts, so mocks are not very important at this stage.
- In the next 3 months (around 10–12 mocks), mocks help in improving speed, accuracy, and understanding the exam pattern.
- In the last 3 months (20–30 mocks), most of the practice happens, making it the most important phase.
Overall, taking 30–40 mocks is ideal for achieving a 99th percentile.
Ideal CAT Mock Test Plan for 99 Percentile
| Preparation Phase | Duration | Mock Frequency | Total Mocks in Phase | Purpose of Mocks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foundation Building | First 3 months | 0–2 (optional) | 0–2 | Concept clarity, no heavy focus on mocks |
| Shortcut Learning | Next 3 months | 1 mock per week | ~10–12 | Build speed & basic exam strategy |
| Mock & Refinement Phase | Last 3 months | 2–3 mocks per week | ~20–30 | Full exam simulation & performance tuning |
| Total (Overall) | 9 months | — | 30–40 mocks (ideal) | Required range for 99 percentile readiness |
