Primary answer
No, candidates cannot choose the order of sections in CAT. The exam follows a fixed sectional sequence (usually VARC → DILR → QA). Each section is timed for 40 minutes, and candidates cannot move to the next section before the allotted time ends. Once a section ends, candidates cannot return to it. This sectional time restriction makes time management strategy crucial.
