CAT 2011 results declared

The much awaited results of the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2011 for admissions in Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and 150 other institutions were declared on Wednesday.

CAT 2011 results were made available on IIM portal www.catiim.in at 10.30 am today morning. Candidates will have to log on to the portal and click on a green button - on left hand side top of the webpage - with CAT 2011 results written on it. CAT registration number and email address are mandatorily required to retrieve the section.

It is advisable that candidates retain a printed copy of their results.

However, there are concerns about the ability of the website to withstand the huge traffic – the website had crashed last year. IIMs and other institutions have also started toll free helpline numbers.

For the successful candidates, the IIMs have done away with group discussion and replaced it with a written essay test; followed by personal interview round.

Importantly, the CAT scores are being given lesser importance as the focus has shifted to non-engineers and work experience. Gender correction is also round the corner, reports said.
