Ahmedabad, February 01: Second phase of computer based CAT-2009 concluded on Sunday with around 2,000 candidates appearing for the re-test at 26 centres across the country, convener of examination at IIM Ahmedabad said.
“CAT-2009 second phase concluded today with around 2000 odd candidates appearing for the re-test today. On day one of the second phase yesterday, 65-70 per cent out of the 7,400 candidates appeared for re-test,” convener of CAT-2009 at IIM-A Satish Deodhar said.
“With the conclusion of second phase it seems that it was a minuscule segment of students who made large noises about the technical glitches,” Deodhar said.
“The results of CAT-2009 are scheduled to be declared in third week of February,” he added.
“It will take at least 10 days for uploading the results, so a call on declaring CAT-2009 results early than the scheduled date can only be taken after that,” sources at IIM-A said.
According to sources at the IIM-A, directors of all the IIMs are slated to meet next month to review the newly introduced computer based CAT.
A total of 2.41 lakh students had applied for CAT in 2009.
