Philosophy Passages
IIM Indore set passages on anarchist philosophy and the Hobbes-Rousseau debate on human nature in CAT 2020. Philosophy is their most consistent genre. These GRADFLIX essays prepare you for exactly that kind of passage:
- Moral Luck: on free will, responsibility and the role of chance in moral judgment
- The Ludovico Paradox: on whether conditioned goodness is genuine morality
- Why Revolutions Eventually Resemble the Regimes They Destroy: on power, ideology and political transformation
Science and Policy Passages
IIM Indore does not set straightforward science passages. They set science-as-argument passages: biotechnology regulation, animal behaviour interpretation, scientific method itself. These GRADFLIX essays match that style:
- The Monk's Error, The Model's Echo: on AI, pattern recognition and the limits of machine intelligence
- Why Death May Be Necessary for Life and Evolution: on programmed cell death and evolutionary logic
- The Backup Planet Paradox: on terraforming, planetary ethics and the limits of technological optimism
Language and Grammar Passages
IIM Indore set a passage on the importance of grammar in CAT 2020. Language as a subject appears in their papers more than any other conducting IIM:
- The Comma That Saves Grandma: on punctuation, convention and how language coordinates meaning
- The Last Word: How Languages Slip into Silence: on language death, memory and cultural loss
History with an Argument Passages
IIM Indore's Tang Empire currency passage used history to argue about economic and political power. These essays match that framing:
- What Did 1947 Actually Free Us From?: on sovereignty, inequality and the unfinished meaning of independence
- The Grain Before the Word: on how agriculture shaped language, society and cognition
