New Delhi, Jan 30 (Inditop.com) Nearly 11,000 MBA aspirants, who could not take the online Common Admission Test (CAT) due to technical glitches last year, will take the examination over Saturday and Sunday.
The second phase of the exam to select students for the country’s top B-schools, will be conducted in around 40 centres across the nation, including nine in Delhi.
Ulhas Vairagkar, of coaching institute TIME, said: “There are 11,000 students, 2,000 in Delhi, who have been identified across the country for the CAT re-test. These students couldn’t take the exam because of technical problems earlier.”
“However, we can not say for sure how many will actually take the re-test since a number of them must have already appeared for other MBA entrance tests,” he added.
“As a result of the technical problems and students being unable to take the test, the date for the results has also been postponed. Earlier, the result was to be declared Jan 22, but now it will be out Feb 15,” Vairagkar told IANS.
“Since the results will be delayed, the students will get less time to prepare for the group discussion and interview. But the admission process as such will remain unaffected,” he added.
At least 241,000 Masters in Business Administration aspirants had registered to appear for the first online CAT examination spread over 11 days from Nov 28 last year. However, all students could not appear for the exam due to technical glitches.
