Test
Comparison:
When compared to KEAM and JEE, CUSAT CAT is a simple entrance
test to pass. The CUSAT CAT consists of 250 multiple-choice questions that must
be completed in three hours. As a result, completing all 250 questions within
the time limit is challenging. Simply pay to the easy questions first, and if
time remains after you have completed the easy ones, you may devote it to the
tough ones.
