The examination committee of Common Admission Test (CAT) on Wednesday announced that online CAT will not be scrapped despite several technical glitches.
The CAT committee, which comprised IIM Ahmedabad director Prof Samir Baruah, IIM Bangalore director Prof Pankaj Chandra and a few other professors, made this announcement after meeting with senior Human Resource Development Ministry officials in New Delhi.
Prof. Baruah said that IIMs have decided to continue with computer-based test for 2009 and look forward to continue the CAT through computer-based testing in future.
He said a fresh test would be held around mid-January for those genuine students who could not appear in the test, which is conducted by American firm Prometric.
