In a major judgment, The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld reservation for Other Backward Class (OBC) category in all government-funded higher educational institutes while delivering its verdict on the implementation of 27 per cent reservation for the OBCs in premier institutes of higher education.

Following the judgement 49. 5 percent of the seats in higher educational institutes would be reserved. The Schedule Castes (SCs) and Schedule Tribes (STs) enjoy a 22.5 per cent reservation. While the SCs have 15 per cent reservation, for the STs it is 7.5 per cent.

This judgment might impact will impact IIMs and other Govt funded / aided institutes and will not impact ISB Hyderabad, SPJIMR Mumbai and other private institutes as the Bench said nothing whether the reservation will be applicable for private institutes. The question was not raised before SC and so the issue wasn’t touched at all.

Hence it will be interesting to note as how IIMs and ISB will evolve in a longer time frame as far as overall quality of Institutes are concerned.

(Click here for List of Non-IIM Institutions Using Cat 2007 Scores.)

Each year, the Common Admission Test (CAT) is conducted jointly by the six IIMs. However, each IIM follows its own admission process, independent of the other IIMs. The IIM to which the candidate has applied, evaluates the candidate in each of a set of different areas of achievement, including CAT Scores. Besides IIMs, various other top business institutions of the country also use CAT Scores as one of the eligibility criteria for admission to their management programmes.

MBA aspirants can access their results on the Internet or via SMS. CAT Scores for individual applicants can be accessed on the CAT website www.catiim.in on the 8th of January from 3:00 PM onwards. The scores can be accessed by keying in the Test Registration Number and either the Date of Birth (preferred) or the CAT Application Number. The IIMs that have short listed the candidate for Group Discussion and Personal Interviews (if so) will also be displayed automatically. However, the details of the date and venue will be available by post as well as on the individual IIMs websites at a later date.

To get the CAT results on mobile, applicants can SMS 57333 and type –

‘CAT’ – space – ‘Registration Number’ – space – ‘Date of Birth’

OR

‘CAT’ – space – ‘Registration Number’ – space – ‘CAT Application Number’

CAT results can also be accessed by telephonically through the Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS).

The evaluation this year will be on 74 questions and not 75, as there was an error in one of the questions.

However, unlike last year, this year’s exam passed without any glitch or major surprises, as in last year there was significant controversy over certain wrong questions as well as the pattern of paper.

CAT is undoubtedly not only the toughest exam to crack (given the large number of aspirants), but also one of the most unpredictable exam as there is neither any set pattern nor any certain difficulty level, though every year students as well as CAT coaching centers devote quite a significant amount of energy on predicting the CAT pattern without any success.

In the CAT 2007 paper, there were overall 75 questions – 25 each in the sections of mathematics, language and data interpretation. In CAT 2003, there were 150 questions, which got reduced to 123 in 2004, 90 in 2005. In 2006, the number of questions stood at 75.

The results of CAT 2007 are expected to be announced in Dec 2007.
