Why this matters

CAT does not publish a single official syllabus document the way a school board exam does. What exists instead is a well-understood pattern of topics that show up year after year, based on actual past papers. Knowing this pattern in advance stops you from either under-preparing a recurring topic or over-preparing something that rarely appears.
