CAT 2010 was taken by 2.04 lakh aspirants at various test centres across India. The paper comprises three sections: verbal ability, logical reasoning and quantitative aptitude. CAT is the first stage in the selection process for various institutes offering MBA, others including group discussion and personal interview.

City topper Amardeep Arora told TOI: "Destiny defines life and a person propagates it." Online programmes and hard work of the faculty at the institute where he had got his training have enhanced his knowledge, he added. He is doing his internship at an MNC in Hyderabad. He further said, "I miss the city's food. For the sake of one's career often requires breaking of geographical barriers." He said a CAT aspirant should study with full concentration and should not leave any part of the syllabus untouched.

Lotus Arora, mother of Amardeep Arora, who is a housewife, said, "This is a day and moment to be cherished. I am proud of Amar."
