What is written ability test(WAT) conducting by all iims at the time of selection?what does it contain?

Dear Suresh

CAT is a sort of an elimination round. The real battle for seats start with GWPI rounds.

WAT is a part of process for most colleges especially CAP process of new IIMs. The topic is generally given on the spot and you have to write on it for about 10-20 mins. The topics are fairly common and mostly related to cureent affairs.

Hope it helps.

They generally give a recent type of topic that is either from general knowledge or some recent happenings in the world or maybe a dilemma kindof situation that requires some opinion of yours to test your knowledge.

Examples of topics can be.

#Metoo

#Demonetisation

#GST

#Newspaper reading gets u misinformed but not reading it gets you uninformed.

Coherence of the idea you present, and the way you take a stand matters alot.

Hope this answers your query.

All the best.
