Day three at CAT
December 1, 2009
The third day of the Computer Based Test of the CAT saw the same issues that plagued the first two days of the test. Around 33 testing labs could not administer the test on Day 3. The total number of aspirants who have not been able to take the test has now added up to 8000 approximately.
The IIMs broke their silence at a press conference at IIM A on Monday to inform media persons that the trouble has been traced to two viruses - the Conflicer' and 'W32 Nimda'. The two viruses attacked the system causing it to slow it down. Efforts are now on to quarantine the systems from these viruses to ensure smooth conduct in the remaining days.
The CAT committee informed the press that candidates who have not been able to take the test would be rescheduled test dates within this week. There are also chances of the testing period being extended by a couple of days. |
