Despite the chaos on account of glitches in the first ever computerised common admissions test (CAT) held in the end of last year, the convener of IIM CAT committee Satish Deodhar claimed it was successful, saying that this was the format of the future. He strongly insisted that the CAT scores were accurate and appropriately distributed across the pool of candidates.
It may be mentioned that more than 2.42 lakh candidates appeared for the computerised CAT examinations. For the first time the IIMs partnered with Prometric to conduct the computerised CAT. But many candidates were not satisfied with the psychometric testing system introduced by IIMs in association with the Prometric system.
