CAT results to be declared on January 11

Updated on: Friday, January 06, 2012

The results of the Common Admission Test 2011 will be out on January 11. Close to 1.85 lakh students took the CAT, the most being from New Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Pune.

Male students formed the majority—close to 70%—of those who took the CAT. The test had two sections instead of three earlier and students were given 70 minutes to answer each of them.

Once the results are out on the CAT website, the Indian Institutes of Management will announce the dates for the next rounds of admission.

Most of the IIMs have done away with group discussion and replaced it with a written essay test, followed by a personal interview.

Over time, the importance placed on the CAT scores has reduced and the importance given to non-engineers and work experience has gone up. This year, gender correction is also on the cards.

All six new IIMs and the ones at Lucknow and Kozhikode feel it’s time to rebalance the gender scales in office spaces. So, while IIM-Rohtak will give 20 marks to each girl and another 20 to a non-engineer, IIM-Raipur will add 30 marks to the overall scores of each girl non-engineer. IIM-Lucknow has decided to grant five marks to each girl and two to non-engineers.
