CAT CAT CAT...or ONLINE CAT ONLINE CAT n ONLINE CAT...
The wait is finally over ladies and gentlemen and the curtain is removed from the DESI version of GMAT popularly known as ONLINE CAT.
What a great start this CAT gets by ensuring that it should remain INDIA's DESI online test and the servers must be crashed in the number of centres which should be SQUARE OF 3 + SMALLEST EVEN PRIME NUMBER....i.e 9+2=11...Look what is the condition of we aspirants by preparing for CAT that even we start speaking Maths...lol
Don't be like WHOAAAAAA everyone by seeing 11 servers crashed...the show is just started and u'll see more MIRACLES in the coming days...
In the Janakpuri centre of New Delhi the computers were not ready to accept the usernames and passwords of the candidates as they were all saying that Shri Subhash Chandra Bose thing that TUM MUJHE KHOON DO, ME TUMHE AZAADI DUNGA...means TUM MUJHE SPEEDY SERVER DO ME TUMHE TEST DENE KI PERMISSION DUNGA
Now what to say about the other centres....students were talking to each other about.....(what they were talking.... I think no need to mention)
Tests in the morning slot started half an hour late in most centres, Prometric and NIIT guys didn't know how to start and end the test.
One friend of mine told me that he got two and half hour for writing the test other told me that he got two hours to write the test...wow I am really Impressed that they ensured they should maintain the Image of India.
What to say about Prometric...One of the World's leading test conducting company...lolz...
Soumitra Roy, Managing Director, India, Prometric, said "CAT 2009 has certainly not been cancelled in any of the test centres. In fact, thousands of tests were successfully delivered in hundreds of test centres throughout India. To accommodate the maximum number of candidates, Prometric and IIMs delayed the start of the morning session by about half-an-hour. As a result of isolated technical issues some candidates are being rescheduled and provided a new appointment via email and SMS."
Somebody tell this Soumitra Roy thing that If u have taken crores of rupees and Responsibility of conducting Mother of all Exams then you are not suppose to give such Stupid excuses.
This is about the future of almost 2.5 lacks of Indian students and we are not in the mood of hearing any excuses...
One prometric guy told a student that we will call you tomorrow or any other day otherwise better luck NEXT YEAR....kyaaaaaaaaaaaa.....next year....
If I were there I would have definitely screwed that Great Prometrician....
All in all, my test is on 30th and hoping that Prometric and IIMs will understand the seriousness of this DEBACLE and made their the so called POWERFUL servers lil bit more powerful in coming days...
MY APOLOGIES TO ALL CANDIDATES WHO FALL PREY ON 28/11 OF CAT THING...
Fingers crossed.... :(

ReplyDeletetrue....rather than blaming, use ur valuable time to relax / study, dont terrorise ppl, they might have a bad D Day coz of this, and u know "the worst the news is, more are ppl intrested"
ReplyDelete@ashesh,
ReplyDeleteDude that Image of India was a sarcastic comment, I was meant to say that these American guys and companies still thinks that India is a 3rd world country n we will not face any consequences if our system fails also. But they are wrong, U,I,WE all change the Image of India very soon.
At the same time I am lil bit disappointed also by seeing the loose control of Honorary Kapil Sibbal, if this were happened in any European country then they screwed Prometric till now...thats why DESI VERSION OF GMAT...
@ashesh...history need not repeat itself every time.. U r being more than generous...
ReplyDeletethink on this:
ReplyDelete1. All ppl give X reasons
2. consider all X reasons are valid
3. BOTTOMLINE - how much of X actually helpd u in CAT?
ANSWER - 0%, one is yet to see one's future and it shall depend on the way one thinks
one may point out flaws, but also suggest how to correct them, question without a solution is useless
Its a mis-happening for sure for most stud. my apologies 4'em. but i hope things w'ld b better from next date. Do speak of the type of questions also Robin...
ReplyDeleteWe are good for nothing. Even we can't take an exam correctly.Technical glitches may be present in evaluation system also (given the kind of performance of the Prometric guys), you never know. That is the biggest threat.
ReplyDeleteHey dude,
