CAT (common admission test), the
prestigious entrance examination for admissions to MBA colleges in India has
added one more day to their online testing period. CAT 2012, the online test
for this year is scheduled on October 11, 2012n and will continue until
November 6, 2012. As against 21 days test period, one day more is added to this
test. The CAT organizers have asked candidates to register early for this year
online CAT to avoid any last minute gaffe. Registering early will also help
candidates with preferred choice of location, time and date.
Adding a day more to 2012 schedule of CAT
was result of a survey. A private firm took feedback from students and stakeholders
alike. This survey helped in reviewing the internal process. The CAT organizers
tried to made possible change after naming a conclusion of the feedback
received by students. There are no extras changes done to the CAT schedule
besides adding one extra day. CAT 2012 timings and question pattern will be the
same as last year.
Earlier CAT was a pen and paper based
examination. With the introduction of online mode of examination, there were
minor glitches. This year organizers are trying to make the entire test period
smooth and error free. One of the organizers said this year’s CAT is organized
in multiple venues across various cities of India. With thousands of computers
installed, there are times when minor hardware problems arise. However, the
organizers are trying to select venues, which have required technical and
physical infrastructure.
Cat
takers with high scores are eligible for admissions in reputed MBA colleges of
India. Admissions to IIMs, and other top ranked B-schools are through CAT.
