Earlier hundreds of the CAT 2016 aspirants approached MBAUniverse.com about the absence of the CAT 2016 test day guide on CAT 2016 website. Taking cognizance of the plight of the CAT 2016 aspirants, MBAUniverse.com conveyed the message to IIM Bangalore, the CAT 2016 convener regarding the requirement on November 25 that the CAT 2016 Test Day guide was missing and published the fact prominently http://www.mbauniverse.com/article/id/9926/CAT-2016.

Wish fulfilled for CAT 2016 test takers
The facts gathered by MBAUniverse.com earlier, after making a survey among more than 2000 CAT 2016 aspirants regarding the awareness of D-day instructions, revealed their ignorance about test day requirement and process at the test venue as most of them missed even the reporting time and navigation tools for the exam. The information gathered in the survey indicated an ardent need for a comprehensive test day guide consisting of important instructions for the CAT 2016 test day which has been fulfilled by IIM Bangalore.

Since the comprehensive test day guide containing the minute details from reaching the testing site to completion of the test with do’s and don’ts has not been published by CAT Centre 2016, the instructions are a must read for all the CAT 2016 aspirants.

CAT 2016 test takers should read the set of test day instructions and should remember to meticulously follow them on December 4, the D-day. These instructions placed coherently detail all the information a CAT 2016 registered candidate will require on the day of the test.
