Ahmedabad: Convener of the computerised
Common Admission Test (CAT) for admissions in Indian Institute
of Management (IIMs), Satish Deodhar on Friday said that test was
running smoothly after initial glitches and there were no
reasons for it to be scrapped.
"As a convener, my duty is to ensure that each and
every student who had applied for the test does not face any
difficulty while appearing for it," Deodhar said.
"As of now I have been asked by the IIMs to conduct
the test, reschedule it for students who were affected by
glitches and make sure that it goes on smoothly," he said.
"Therefore, there is no reason for computerised CAT to
be scrapped," Deodhar added.
He said that directors of all IIMs can only
collectively take a decision on CAT.
"The tests should be conducted as planned," the
professor at the IIM-A said.
Deodhar further said that except for the two lab which
remained closed, across the country, tests were running
smoothly.
The glitches during the CAT were attributed by the
IIMs and Prometric, the American firm conducting the test, to
virus attacks and some problems of hardware.
