economic issues in comparison to philosophical and sports

topics. Written Ability Test in IIMs, IIFT and other

important B schools is a 15 to 30 minutes’ exercise which

may contain essay writing on any topic; caselet study

followed by group discussion and PI or essay writing followed by personal interview only. The need for WAT Since Written Ability Test is not a part of CAT on line computer based test and therefore IIM Ahmedabad; IIM Bangalore; IIM

Lucknow; IIM Calcutta and other IIMs as well as non IIMs individually put the candidate to take this test in time duration from 15 to

30 minutes. The expectation is to understand the topic in accordance to its key words and form the piece of writing in a logical and
