Expected announcement of CAT 2006 result seems to have brought down all IIM websites as there is significant delay in opening websites of IIM Ahmedabad, Calcutta, Lucknow and Bangalore and has created outage as at the time of writing this repoer we were unable to open any IIM website.

Today IIMs were expected to announce result of CAT exam in which more than 180,000 CAT hopefuls have appeared and results were expected today and in that hope it looks like the websites got more traffic then expected.

Of the 180,000-plus students who sat for the exams this year, only some 1,500 will get admission in six IIMs. But this year around 80 other top management schools are using CAT score as one of the admission criterion like GMAT is being used in USA.

looks like IIMs also need to teach themselves about disaster management. It is certainly a bad management by top management schools.

Poor management examples from Top Management schools of India.
1) Cat question paper problem. (Initial issues)
2) Retest is ruled out by iims by saying good strategy would be followed for evaluation (No alternatives)
3) Results are postponed. (Not deadline oriented)
4) Servers down (Disaster Management !!??)

!! KEEP IT UP,IIMS !!

Looks like IIM’s need to do a case study on how CBSE comes out with the results of it’s exams on time year after year, handling a task which is far more complex than handling objective type questions of 180000 applicants.

INDIA should definitely focus more attention to ELEMENTRY EDUCATION !!!!!!

Indian Institute of Management, You have failed in little things, it reflects on your Big name… Please let it not be done for the Next year too. Keep pace with the anxiety of the students who have written the exams. Don’t kill their anxtiey, and destabilise their ambitions. In the present world that we are living in, little things fall inside the ” “.. Keep your websites updated.. soon hurry up….
