There is no official announcement regarding this. However, the recent trends in IPMAT 2025 have led to a lot of speculation. Integrated Program in Management Aptitude Test (IPMAT 2025) was conducted by the IIM Indore for admission to the five-year Integrated Program in Management (BBA+MBA). Typically, its paper pattern, syllabus, and previous year trends are almost similar to the CAT exam. However, IPMAT has revealed an interesting shift this year. IPMAT 2025 exam consisted of 2 questions from Arithmetic and 6-7 questions from Geometry. This allocation is quite surprising because Arithmetic and Algebra have been the high-weightage topics in both CAT and IPMAT over the past 4\u20135 years. More focus on Geometry and fewer questions on Arithmetic raises many questions. Read on to find out whether the CAT 2025 Exam Pattern might change and how to prepare effectively to handle any surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_77 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/cat-exam-pattern-2025-might-change\/#What_if_the_CAT_2025_Exam_Pattern_Changes\" >What if the CAT 2025 Exam Pattern Changes?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/cat-exam-pattern-2025-might-change\/#CAT_2025_Exam_Pattern_Might_Change-_What_Aspirants_Should_Do_Now\" >CAT 2025 Exam Pattern Might Change- What Aspirants Should Do Now?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/cat-exam-pattern-2025-might-change\/#Give_Equal_Importance_to_all_the_Topics\" >Give Equal Importance to all the Topics<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/cat-exam-pattern-2025-might-change\/#Smart_Practice\" >Smart Practice<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/cat-exam-pattern-2025-might-change\/#Attempt_Full-Length_Mocks\" >Attempt Full-Length Mocks<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/cat-exam-pattern-2025-might-change\/#Do_Not_Avoid_Low-Weightage_Topics_in_Mocks\" >Do Not Avoid Low-Weightage Topics in Mocks<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/cat-exam-pattern-2025-might-change\/#Protect_Your_Percentile\" >Protect Your Percentile<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/cat-exam-pattern-2025-might-change\/#Join_the_Best_CAT_Coaching\" >Join the Best CAT Coaching<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/cat-exam-pattern-2025-might-change\/#CAT_Exam_Question_Trends_Analysis\" >CAT Exam Question Trends &amp; Analysis<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/cat-exam-pattern-2025-might-change\/#CAT_2025_Exam_Pattern_Might_Change_%E2%80%93_FAQs\" >CAT 2025 Exam Pattern Might Change &#8211; FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-if-the-cat-2025-exam-pattern-changes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_the_CAT_2025_Exam_Pattern_Changes\"><\/span><strong>What if the CAT 2025 Exam Pattern Changes?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we all are aware of the fact that CAT exam is unpredictable in nature. It will not be surprising if the CAT 2025 exam focuses more on low-weightage or neglected topics. The CAT exam pattern has undergone several changes in terms of the number of questions, exam duration, and more over the years. In CAT 2024, the total number of questions was increased from 66 to 68. Therefore, aspirants are advised to master all the topics, irrespective of their weightage, as any questions can be asked in the exam. You need to be fully prepared for the CAT exam in order to increase your chances of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><mark>Join this free whatsapp group to get the latest information about CAT exam along with the strategies by CAT experts<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/I9G5fXbkZLM6Vcx27K10jB\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-1024x475.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48546\" style=\"width:440px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-1024x475.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-300x139.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-768x356.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-905x420.jpeg 905w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-150x70.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-696x323.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM-1068x496.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-08-at-2.51.45-PM.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cat-2025-exam-pattern-might-change-what-aspirants-should-do-now\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_2025_Exam_Pattern_Might_Change-_What_Aspirants_Should_Do_Now\"><\/span><strong>CAT 2025 Exam Pattern Might Change- What Aspirants Should Do Now?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are approximately 160 days left for the CAT exam. CAT aspirants must plan their strategy smartly to enhance their overall performance. They must dedicate sufficient time to each topic and avoid skipping any chapter during the preparation. Here is an expert guide you must follow to be fully prepared, even if the CAT 2025 exam pattern changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-give-equal-importance-to-all-the-topics\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Give_Equal_Importance_to_all_the_Topics\"><\/span><strong>Give Equal Importance to all the Topics<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many CAT aspirants focus only on high-weightage topics during the preparation. If the CAT exam pattern changes just like IPMAT 2025, their strategy might become ineffective. They must attend all the CAT coaching classes to learn all the topics and clear the basic concepts thoroughly. This approach can help them tackle any question asked in the actual exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-smart-practice\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smart_Practice\"><\/span><strong>Smart Practice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Candidates must first clear concepts and then solve related questions from assignments, practice sessions, and other resources. They can refer to books to find out similar questions for any specific topic for concept practice. Aspirants can also utilise iQuanta\u2019s iCAT mocks. It is a strategy builder tool where all section-wise questions appear on the screen after mock tests. After clicking on a particular question, you will get 6 similar questions for practice. This will help you master all the topics and improve weak areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-attempt-full-length-mocks\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Attempt_Full-Length_Mocks\"><\/span><strong>Attempt Full-Length Mocks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You must set a mock test goal as part of your CAT 2025 preparation strategy. If you set a target of 30 mock tests, each with approximately 22 Quant questions. You will be able to solve 660 quant questions, which comprise both high and low-weightage topics. This can boost your speed, accuracy, and question-selection strategy. You can also join iQuanta\u2019s CAT mock test series for sectional and full-length mock tests that match the actual exam level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-not-avoid-low-weightage-topics-in-mocks\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Not_Avoid_Low-Weightage_Topics_in_Mocks\"><\/span><strong>Do Not Avoid Low-Weightage Topics in Mocks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Candidates must not avoid low-weightage topics during CAT mock practice. They must attempt neglected topics to identify their weak areas. This approach can enhance their performance and help them stay confident even if the CAT 2025 exam pattern changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-protect-your-percentile\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Protect_Your_Percentile\"><\/span><strong>Protect Your Percentile<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Candidates must cover low-weightage topics and regularly attempt CAT-level mock tests. This approach will help them stay calm and confident, even if there are changes in the CAT 2025 exam pattern. Sufficient practice can help them solve easy and moderate questions from low-weightage areas effectively in the exam. If the CAT 2025 turns out to be difficult, they will still be able to accurately solve 7-8 Quant questions and score around 23-24 marks, which can easily translate to a 96-97 percentile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-join-the-best-cat-coaching\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Join_the_Best_CAT_Coaching\"><\/span><strong>Join the Best CAT Coaching<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Online platforms like iQuanta CAT online coaching ensure coverage of all the topics, irrespective of their weightage.
