The reasons range from traffic jams to rainfall to simply having a change of heart. "Day 1 of CAT on Oct 27, 2010 had the maximum no-shows, where 12.73 percent of registered candidates didn't take the exam," CAT 2010 convener Himanshu Rai told to TOI.
Rai aslo added, "Possibly because they (students) were carrying wrong identification cards and were sent back."
Common Admission Test (CAT) decides admission to 11 Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) and over 150 B-schools in all over the country. Some of the prominent running IIMs are -
- IIM Ahmedabad
- IIM Bangalore
