My day went cool and calm. No probs related to technical concern. But personally feels dat level of questions were not up to d mark. While giving d paper, couldn’t believe dat I’m giving d “CAT”. Truly, paper/pencil pattern was more effective. Well ! hope IIM’s will look back 2 paper/ pencil pattern.

This is not CAT its a Big Joke spelled by IIM’s on serious aspirants like us working hard for the last 1 year or so.. I gave my CAT on 2nd at IMS ghaziabad..it was a torturous experience. paper starting after a half hour delay and then all people talkin at our backs, with invigilators having no information about buttons or review options..many people were confused..persons next to me clicked END wthin 2 mins of starting the exam..another one had computer crashing every 10 mins or so, many people could give only half of the paper after sitting for consecutive 5 hours..
it was damn touch to concentrate..with very bad facilities..i messes it all eventhough it was quite an easy paper..THIS SHOULD BE CANCELLED AND CAT SHOULD BE TAKIN IN JAN OR FEB AGAIN..this wasnt an exam, theres no equality. God Bless them!!! Plz come back to Paper exam this year and try online the next year with all precautions taken.

What a shame…..both for IIM and Prometric. CAT has become synonymous with controversy, failures and too much hype. I guess AIMA guys are doing fairly well. Aren’t we giving too much importance to IIM’s ? Is this the end of road for MBA aspirants…..I feel we really need an introspection.

when iim had announced for the online exam,it was looking good but they could have not conducted it smartly.somewhere in the trial they did a blunder.its really annhiliating the future of thousand aspirants those who have to reschedule their exam date.it was very disspointed that we had to see that kind of management from iims.but student must not lose their nerves ,we need to coperate in this situation.i hope that malady will definite get some remedy.
