CAT results on Feb 12 amidst reports of leaks

Updated on: Saturday, January 08, 2011

The CAT 2010 Results is scheduled to be announced on Wednesday, January 12, 2011. In 2010, the leaking of results of the test ten days prior to its official declaration date has resulted in much confusion and anxiety among several aspirants who had appeared for the examination.

According to some CAT 2010 takers, they had been able to view their results on the link that had been uploaded on a private forum and had spread at lightning speed among CAT 2010 candidates. However, all claims of the result being leaked have been refuted by the CAT 2010 Committee.

The link said that the results were for the CAT 2009 examination. However, when the roll numbers were entered on the website, the results that appeared were apparently for the year 2010.

It has also been alleged that the website may have been hacked by someone. Another possibility is that the results were being uploaded on the website for test runs and someone from the organisation made the results available on the public domain.

CAT 2010 Convener Himanshu Rai from the Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow (IIM-L) said that he had no knowledge of how the incident had occurred and added that it would not be investigated further. “We had been taking down the servers and will be uploading the results. Whatever happens meanwhile is not of our concern. The results will be available officially on January 12,” he said.

The online testing and assessment company, Prometric, that conducts the online CAT, has also denied having any knowledge of the results being leaked before schedule. According to a spokesperson from Prometric, the agency had no hand whatsoever in the apparent leaking of the results.
