CAT 2022 - 2 Questions from the DILR Section scrapped!

A new notification has been issued on the official website by the CAT Committee informing that 2 questions from the Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning section have been scrapped and will not be evaluated. Those 2 questions are marked ambiguous by the committee. The 2 questions removed were from shift 2 and shift 3.

There is a specific method for the calculation of the score of a candidate derived by the Institute.
