November 29th CAT experiences

Posted by Top Coaching Experts

The CAT test takers experienced difficulties on Sunday as well owing to technical glitches in as many as 50 centers across India. The exam was rescheduled on Sunday in the affected centers.

Prometric, the American firm which has been entrusted with the task of conducting the tests, said, while a significant majority of the candidates successfully completed their exams on Saturday, various technical issues arose at selected computers in approximately 50 labs thatprevented approximately 2,000 exams from being delivered. 

"Prometric technicians have been dispatched to address these isolated problems. To avoid candidate inconvenience and to allow for the necessary repairs to be completed at the impacted labs, Prometric has scheduled a closure of these labs today," an announcement on the CAT-IIM official website said. 

"Candidates affected by this closure will also be notified by Prometric in the manner described above and provided with new appointments within this years testing period," the announcement said. 

It said Prometric has generated new appointments for individuals who could not take the test yesterday and they are in the process of being contacted through SMS and email messages. 

Many students, however, said they had not received any direct communication,either through mail or SMS, creating much confusion. 

Complaints of log in, booting and system crashing mid-way came from across centres and according to coaching centres. And there are unique complaints as well such as unavailability of images that are supposedto come with the questions. 

As far as the paper pattern is concerned the pattern on Sunday Nov 29th was same as that of 28th Nov with 20 questions in each section, with more or less the same difficulty level.
