Mumbai, New Delhi:
The online Common Admission Test in around 23 centres across the country was
cancelled on Sunday to allow necessary repairs to be completed at the labs where technical glitches disrupted the exams on Saturday.
These include centers in Delhi (3), Bhopal, Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Ghaziabad, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Calcutta, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur and Varanasi.
Prometric, the American firm which has been entrusted with the task of conducting the tests, said while a significant majority of the candidates successfully completed their exams yesterday, various technical issues arose at selected computers in approximately 23 labs that prevented approximately 2,000 exams from being delivered.
"Prometric technicians have been dispatched to address these isolated problems. To avoid candidate inconvenience and to allow for the necessary repairs to be completed at the
impacted labs, Prometric has scheduled a closure of these labs today," an announcement on the CAT-IIM official website said.
"Candidates affected by this closure will also be notified by Prometric in the manner described above and provided with new appointments within this year's testing period," the announcement said.
It said Prometric has generated new appointments for individuals who could not take the test on Saturday and they are in the process of being contacted through SMS and email messages. (With PTI inputs)
