CAT 2012: WAT after CAT


Written ability Test (WAT) is gaining importance in the admission criteria of IIMs’ the main concern is the time limit. While writing WAT for admission to a top B-school, the focus should be on the time. 

IIM B gives 30 minutes for WAT, while IIM L gives 15 minutes and the time for WAT is as little as 10 minutes in IIM A 

Here, the key will be to write as fast as possible in order to finish the topic. Don’t waste much time on thinking and planning the structure of the essay, else you will not be able to complete it. For this, you will need sufficient practice. 

The best way to practice is by picking up one current-affairs topic every day and writing as much as you can for 10 minutes. Your focus should be on starting the essay and putting in as many important points as possible. There is no compulsion to present the matter in impressive or flowery language. Instead, accuracy and correctness of spelling and grammar take precedence.

It is important to develop the ability to think and articulate quickly. For B-school panelists, WAT is a tool to see how you structure your thoughts and produce them in the least amount of time. 

It is advised to start practice on WAT also in time to achieve mission CAT 2012.
