Compared to the chaos that marred the first four days of the Common Admission Test (CAT) this year, students across the country today appeared pleased that despite some delays and small errors, the exams were not rescheduled at most centres across the country.
“We had planned to shut down two labs but ultimately we shut down five more labs during the day,” said Satish Deodhar, the convenor of CAT 2009. But overall, students found the day much smoother compared to the earlier ones.
“CAT went off quite smoothly today. This seems to be the first day with no disruption,” according to Gautam Puri, vice chairman, Career Launcher.
However, the usual glitches of not able to log-in and faulty biometric machines was still witnessed at some centres. At Bangalore’s Garden City College, the exam started in some labs after nearly a two-hour delay. Delays were also witnessed in some other centres.
