While I am penning this article, we have witnessed CAT 2006 as well as IIFT 2006. Call it a coincidence or call it the trend, the patterns of both these newspapers were starkly different from that during the previous years. CAT came out with an even reduced question inventory to be handled by the students and flaunted the long term thumb rule of ‘four options per question’. IIFT, on the other hand, changed loyalty to multiple options type of questions, which made the paper very-very difficult altogether. These pattern changes were accompanied by changes in the nature of questions asked, brining the students to their knees – literally.
