Students to file RTI over CAT ‘goof-ups ’

The Common Admission Test (CAT), which began in December, officially ended on Sunday with the Indian Institutes of Management declaring
the scores of lakhs of candidates who took the entrance examination. Of the 2.41 lakh students who sat for the exam, 11 of them scored a perfect cent percentile; in absolute numbers, they all were marked close to 300 out of 450.

IIM-Ahmedabad convenor Satish Deodhar remained incommunicado . If some were happy with their absolute percentile , several students complained they were not.

Arks Srinivas, head of Time, a coaching class, said there was a lot of ambiguity among students about the marks they had scored in the verbal section. Manoj Saigal, director, MBA Pace, another coaching class, echoed what several of his students felt, when he said, “Most students know where they've goofed up. So their expected score can't be far from the actual achieved marks. But in several cases, the difference is large.”
