CAT DILR PYQs — Your Questions, Answered
What kinds of sets appear, how they're marked, and how to pick the right ones to attempt.
Questions come in sets built around a shared scenario. Common structures include tables and charts requiring interpretation, caselets described in prose, arrangement and distribution puzzles, grid-based logic, Venn diagram and set-theory problems, and games and tournaments. Recent papers have leaned towards reasoning-heavy sets over pure calculation.
Yes. Every set comes from an actual CAT paper between 2017 and 2025, verified against the official paper, with a written solution for each question in the set.
Multiple-choice questions carry +3 for a correct answer and -1 for an incorrect one, while non-MCQ questions carry +3 with no negative marking. Because questions come in sets, cracking the underlying structure typically unlocks several marks at once, which is why set selection matters so much.
Spend the first few minutes reading every set before solving any of them, and rank them by how clearly you can see a way in. The most common way to lose marks in DILR is not failing to solve a hard set — it is spending twenty minutes on a hard set and never reaching an easy one.
DILR is one of three sections in CAT, each with its own 40-minute limit within a 120-minute exam. You cannot carry unused time from another section into DILR, so pacing has to be managed within the section itself.
