What does CAT DILR test, and how is it organised here?

Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning is CAT's second section: 20 questions in roughly 40 minutes, arranged as four or five sets of four to five questions each. It is the section where set *selection* decides the score, because a badly chosen set can absorb fifteen minutes and return nothing. Prasnya files every DILR question from its 10 released slot papers under three chapters — Data Interpretation, Basic Logical Reasoning, and Advanced or Hybrid DILR — and then under the specific set type: caselets, data sufficiency, arrangements, games and tournaments, routes and networks, scheduling and allocation. Practising by set type is what makes the weakness visible, and because each set carries its full table, chart or passage with it, a set taken as a timed mock behaves exactly as it did in the paper.

What the section tests

20 questions in about 40 minutes, as four or five sets. Set selection matters more here than raw speed — the section rewards recognising early which set is tractable.

What is inside DILR

Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning, as the catalog files it. Each chapter breaks down further into its own topics, and every one of them is a route you can practise or test on its own.

Standard charts, unconventional charts, mixed and missing DI, caselets, data sufficiency
Basic Logical Reasoning
Arrangements, deductive logic, ranking and order
Advanced / Hybrid DILR
Games and tournaments, set theory, routes and networks, scheduling and allocation

Questions people ask

Are DILR sets kept whole?: Yes. A DILR set is only meaningful with its table, chart or caselet attached, so multi-part sets carry their source material and are presented and scored as a set, the way the paper does it.
Can I practise one set type at a time?: Yes — caselets, data sufficiency, arrangements, games and tournaments, routes and networks, and scheduling and allocation are each their own route. That is usually more useful than another full paper, because DILR weakness is nearly always specific to a set type.
How does the analysis help with set selection?: The attempt report shows time per set against what the set warranted, which is what surfaces the sets you should have skipped. Attempt quality separates a set you solved efficiently from one you finished but overspent on.
Is Prasnya affiliated with the IIMs?: No. Prasnya is an independent practice platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the IIMs or any examination body. The questions are transcribed from released CAT papers.
What does it cost?: Plans start at Rs 69/month, with Plus at Rs 129/month and Pro at Rs 149/month. Each is a one-time payment for one month — nothing auto-renews and no card is stored. New accounts get 2 days of full access first, without a card.
