After a botched up year in 2009, the Common Admissions Test (CAT) is set to kick start again for the academic year 2010-11 on Wednesday, Oct 27.

The CAT exam, held annually for admissions into the prestigious Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and 150 other business schools across India, evolved from being a paper-pencil test to an online one in 2009.


CAT 2010 will therefore be the second edition of the online exams, and a litmus test for Prometric, the agency which conducts the test that faced severe criticism over the trouble-marred 2009 CAT.

Hope this time it goes off without any glitches as we witnessed last year!
Around 5,000 to take CAT on day one

After the fiasco last year, CAT and the IIMs are playing it safe this time around. Only 5,000 MBA aspirants will take the online test on the first day this year on Wednesday, October 27. Around 10,000 candidates took the test on the first day last year.

Around 5000 for CAT day 1

CAT will be conducted over a 20day testing window till November 24, 2010. Last year CAT was conducted over a 10-day window. A total of 204,000 students have registered for CAT this year, compared to 246,000 last year -- a 17 per cent dip.
All the best to all the CAT aspirants of the Boddunan family and their relatives.
With the CAT committee not taking any chances, it has taken all the necessary steps to ensure a glitchfree CAT this year. Apart from undertaking all kinds of hardware and software tests in over 128 labs across 78 venues in 33 cities, the CAT committee also ensured timely handing over of the venues.
I think the results will be announced on the month of January.
I wish all success to the Bodunan members who are participating in the CAT.
Yes,it's true that the numbers have come down compared to that of last year!
I would also be appearing for the CAT exam on the 7th. Hope everything goes well. Best wishes to all the CAT takers!!
I wish all the best for CAT aspirants and hope to see more success this time.
I remember a controversy on CAT exams in recent year.Was it solved ?
