| The online Common Admission Test (CAT) pattern is likely to throw up surprises as the new platform will bring many new dimensions in the test, known for its innovative and competitive exam pattern. A 16-member committee is giving a final shape to the computer-based CAT test. The committee, consisting of seven IIM directors and admission chairpersons, is expected to come up with the new modalities by the end of summer. Hundreds of thousands of students aspiring to get into the prestigious Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) will now be answering the Common Admission Test (CAT) online from this year onwards. The CAT scores not only determine admission into the IIMs, but also to several other reputed management institutes. According to the statement, the test will be conducted in a window of about 10 days at the end of the year. The institutes claim that the computer based CAT will be candidate-friendly, flexible in the selection of test date, easy registration process, provide better physical environment and test experience, and enhanced security in terms of biometric identification of candidates and video monitoring. The content of the exam is not likely to be much different. Still, the fact that it will be on the computer will affect the preparation of students. Yet students will have to wait for clarifications as details about the computerized CAT exam. |
