3. Educational Non-Affiliation Disclaimer
EZCAT is an independent educational tool developed by and for CAT aspirants.
- No Official Affiliation: EZCAT is NOT endorsed, sponsored, affiliated with, or recognized by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), the CAT Convening Committee, or any official testing organization.
- Trademarks: "CAT", "Common Admission Test", and "IIM" are registered trademarks of their respective owners. Their mention in this application is strictly for descriptive and nominative educational reference under fair use.
- No Score Guarantee: Practice on EZCAT does not guarantee admission to any institution or any specific percentile score on the CAT examination.
4. Question Bank & Educational Content
Previous year questions (PYQs), answers, and explanations included in EZCAT are compiled from past publicly available examination materials and educational community contributions for personal non-commercial study.
While we strive for accuracy in solutions and answer keys, errors may occasionally occur. If you discover a typographical error, ambiguous phrasing, or incorrect key in any question, please submit a correction via GitHub Issues.
5. AI Coach & Machine Learning Disclaimers
EZCAT allows users to connect their own API keys to query third-party language models for step-by-step guidance and concept explanations.
- AI-Generated Output: Explanations provided by the AI Coach are generated probabilistically by external models. They should be used as conceptual aids rather than definitive mathematical or linguistic proofs.
- User Responsibility: You are responsible for any API usage fees incurred with your chosen AI provider (e.g. OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Groq). EZCAT charges no fees and takes no commission on your API usage.
