IIMs to declare CAT 2007 Results on January 8, 2008

January 8, Tuesday, would see the results of CAT 2007, held on 18 November 2007, declared, and decide fate of above 2 Lakh aspirants who appeared in this qualifying exam and aspire to join the prestigious IIMs and other top management institutions of the country that accept CAT Scores.

Each year, the Common Admission Test (CAT) is conducted jointly by the six IIMs. However, each IIM follows its own admission process, independent of the other IIMs. The IIM to which the candidate has applied, evaluates the candidate in each of a set of different areas of achievement, including CAT Scores. Besides IIMs, various other top business institutions of the country also use CAT Scores as one of the eligibility criteria for admission to their management programmes.

MBA aspirants can access their results on the Internet or via SMS. CAT Scores for individual applicants can be accessed on the CAT website www.catiim.in on the 8th of January from 3:00 PM onwards. The scores can be accessed by keying in the Test Registration Number and either the Date of Birth (preferred) or the CAT Application Number. The IIMs that have short listed the candidate for Group Discussion and Personal Interviews (if so) will also be displayed automatically. However, the details of the date and venue will be available by post as well as on the individual IIMs websites at a later date.

To get the CAT results on mobile, applicants can SMS 57333 and type �

�CAT� � space - �Registration Number� � space - �Date of Birth�

OR

�CAT� � space - �Registration Number� � space - �CAT Application Number�

CAT results can also be accessed by telephonically through the Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS).

The evaluation this year will be on 74 questions and not 75, as there was an error in one of the questions. Question Q41 of the Test Booklet Form Number (TBFN) 111, Q33 of the TBFN 222, Q48 of TBFN 333, and Q33 of the TBFN 444 had a typographical error. Hence, this question will not be considered for evaluation.

About 2.25 Lakh candidates appeared for CAT 2007, out of which around 5,000 would be short-listed to appear for Group Discussions (GD) & Personal Interviews (PI) by various institutions.
