Extended CAT will take pressure off centres
Taking a lesson from the technical glitches that hampered the smooth conduct of the Common Admission Test (CAT) last year,the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) have decided to complete the entrance examination in 20 days and bring down the pressure on each examination centre. The organising committee said there would be fewer examination centres in each city. The test will be held for 20 days October 27 to November 24 and registration will begin from August 30. Last year,the examination was completed in 10 days but owing to technical glitches the last date was extended. The pressure on each testing site will be less. The number of the centers in each city would be about 80 this year, said Himanshu Rai,convenor of CAT organising committee.
