Online CAT 2009 Analysis, Answers, Cutoff & Results
Today is the first day for the Online CAT exam. There are many who will be taking the exam today. There is a possibility that there will be many who will be taking exams so that they could pass on their exam info to others. Are you looking for the analysis and solutions of CAT 2009 online exam? Think again. None of the major MBA coaching institutes will be providing it until December 7, 2009. This is because of the gag order that Prometric has given just on the eve of Online CAT exam.
According to the order none of the candidates are permitted to share questions in any form including verbal. If you are found guilty you will be punished by imprisonment as well as fine of 2 lakhs. It is not clear how Prometric is going to monitor verbal communication of candidates at home, over the phone etc.
This last minute order throws out an important point on if IIM/Prometric did not create sufficient questions for candidates over the period of 10 days. Are there only a couple of question sets that will be assigned in random to candidates? Are the candidates who took the exam on first day made a fool of themselves?
Even Pagalguy the number 1 MBA site has put a notice on their forum to not to discuss questions in the forums. The guys at PG have to work over time to avoid at such event that may even cause legal action by Prometric. You think Prometric cannot to trace you down? Think again. Case in point is the legal pursuit of GMAC on ScoreTop. ScoreTop allegedly published live GMAT questions. Read the IIM CAT disclaimer to avoid any inconvenience later on.
