CAT blame game: IIMs and NIIT new targets
Even as day three of the computer-based Common Admission Test (CAT) continued to add to the anxiety of the student community, academicians have shifted the blame game from Prometric to the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and NIIT, accusing them of adopting a highly casual attitude. Prometric bagged the contract from IIMs to conduct computer-based CAT this year in partnership with NIIT. “The IIMs could have done more than just outsourcing the exams to Prometric. By blaming Promertic, IIMs can’t acquit themselves. If one-sixth of the 304 test labs fail, it’s an absolute joke of an examination. A little control on part of the IIMs could have helped,” said a professor from a B-school which accepts CAT scores for admissions.
