Common Admission Test (CAT) servers crashed across all centres in India on Saturday. Nearly 250,000 students appeared The scores of this test will determine a student's admission to a management institute, including the prestigious Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs).

There had been a major change in the CAT this year as it has become a computer based test from an optical marker reading test.

Around 50,000 students appeared for the exam in Delhi.

The test is being held between Nov 28 and Dec 7 in 32 cities at 105 testing centres connected to a main server.

IIMs have also issued a notice to all the students appearing for the exam to refrain from discussing the new format till December 7 when the exam schedule ends.

Prometric adds "Servers didn't crash. They were just overloaded!" :rofl:
 
Overloaded servers!

The guys don't know how to manage IT infrastructure as simple as that. Poor students pay the price for this
 
^ That is surprising BTW because the test was being administered by Prometric , who conduct so many computer based exams .
