Which previous years did IIM Lucknow conduct the CAT, and what should be the strategy to write the CAT when IIM Lucknow is conducting it?
IIM Lucknow conducted the 2017 CAT after 7 years. The institute is known to be quant-oriented. The quant section is generally most difficult on years, IIM Lucknow set the question paper. But an overall balance is maintained in terms of difficulty. If the quant section is difficult, the other section will be comparably easy.
It is natural for B-Schools to stick to their forte. But that does not mean you need to change your preparation strategy. Rather than trying anything new, you should try to strengthen your skills.
