Unlike the usual two shifts, the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2020 will be held in three shifts on Sunday, November 29, even as more centres and cities are added to ensure safety measures for candidates.

The gateway to the 20 premier Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and over 110 non-IIM B-schools, CAT 2020 will be held this year at 430 centres in 159 cities, up from 376 centres in 156 cities in two sessions last year. The computerised entrance paper will be held in three sessions, starting from 8:30 am to 10:30 am, followed by 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm
