CAT for admission to IIMs tomorrow

The Common Admission Test (CAT) for admission to prestigious Indian Institute of Management (IIMs) begins tomorrow when over two lakh candidates are expected to appear.

The test will be conducted online in about 78 centres across 33 cities in a staggered format beginning tomorrow and ending on November 24.

Convener CAT-2010 and IIM, Lucknow, professor Himanshu Rai expressed confidence that unlike last year -- when technical glitches had marred the tests -- the exam this year would be free of any such problems.

"We are absolutely confident of holding the tests smoothly this year," he said.

A total of 204,267 candidates have registered for CAT 2010, with the highest number of registration in Maharashtra where 30,296 candidates have registered for the test.

The state is followed by Uttar Pradesh where 26,810 candidates have registered and Delhi comes next with 19,931, Rai said.
