The first computer-bases CAT Exam for admission to IIMs on Saturday got off to a troubled start with the server crashing in some centres, forcing the authorities to reschedule the examination for those affected. Nearly 2.41 lakh students across the country would take the exam for getting entry into seven IIMs and other B-schools in 105 centres in 32 cities in the next 10 days. "It has certainly not been cancelled in any of the test centres," Soumitra Roy, Managing Director, India, Prometric, the agency conducting the test, said. "As a result of isolated technical issues some candidates are being rescheduled and provided with a new appointment via email and SMS," Roy said.
He said that thousands of tests were successfully delivered in hundreds of test centres throughout the country. "To accommodate the maximum number of candidates, Prometric and IIMs delayed the start of the morning session by about half an hour," he said. Students complained of glitches in certain centres in Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Delhi, Mumbai , Kolkata and Bhopal.
