After online technical glitches, it’s now a “communication gap” that is giving sleepless nights to the aspirants of Common Admission Test (CAT). Prometric, which is conducting the online CAT, has failed to meet the deadline of January 10 to inform the students about their retest slots on January 30 and 31.
About 10,000 students across the country, including 2,500 students from Andhra Pradesh, could not appear for CAT (which is being done online for the first time this year) in the first phase, due to technical glitches.
Prometric had announced that it will conduct a retest for these students and intimate them about retest slots through phone messages and e-mails by January 10.
It, however, failed to do so even a week after the deadline. With no communication, students are tense and confused about taking the exam. And if this wasn’t enough, some students who had completed the exam successfully earlier, rec-eived mails from Prometric to appear for a retest much to their shock.
Even these mails lacked clarity on whether the retest is a compulsion or an option for the students who have already taken the exam.
Some students complained that the retest dates clash with exams.
“I have given my exam well and had no problems with that. Still, they have rescheduled a test for me,” said Mr B.Karthikeya, a CAT aspirant.
