CAT 2025 Data Interpretation: IIM Raipur professor reveals how toppers speed through calculations, pick the right sets, and avoid computation traps
As CAT 2025 approaches, Data Interpretation remains a section where careful strategy often outweighs speed. Professor Yogesh Chauhan of IIM Raipur explains how toppers improve calculation speed using patterns and Vedic math shortcuts, adopt the 10–30–60 workflow to decide which sets to attempt, and leverage visual patterns and simplifying assumptions to solve problems efficiently. He also shares three golden tips: spot patterns first, evaluate solvability early, and focus on relative reasoning for accurate, time-efficient performance.
