New Delhi, December 15: Livid over thousands of students failing to appear in the computer-based CAT, the government has convened a meeting of IIM directors on Wednesday even as the IIM faculty has demanded scrapping of the entrance test which was marred by technical glitches.
The faculty associations of IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore and IIM Kolkata have passed separate resolutions, seeking scrapping of the test. A few thousand students could not write the test due to virus attack and other technical problems.
Unhappy over the way the CAT was conducted, the Human Resource Development Ministry has convened a meeting of IIM directors on Wednesday to express its concerns.
Higher Education Secretary Vibha Puri Das will chair the meeting of IIM directors to discuss the issue in detail, a Human Resource Development Ministry official said.
