CAT 2011: 0.49%rise in number of registrations; Metro students lead

Indian Institutes of Management have announced the preliminary registration data for the Common Admission Test 2011 (CAT 2011). The CAT 2011 voucher sales ended on 1 October, and about 2.06 lakh vouchers were sold. The CAT 2011 registration window ended at midnight on 4 October with approximately 2.05 lakh registered CAT aspirants. There is marginal increase of 0.49% when compared to last years CAT registrations of 2.04 lakh. Of these registrations, 73% are male and 27% are female candidates. The cities in which the highest numbers of candidates have been scheduled to test are New Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Pune.

Over the next 2 weeks, Prometric will be reconciling the registration data to produce a final report which will include actual numbers and demographic breakdown of candidates, mentions the announcement by IIM Calcutta. The registration process has ended smoothly, said Professor Janakiraman Moorthy, CAT 2011 Convenor. Prometric has managed the capacity well to ensure candidates get their preferred locations where possible. The marginal increase in the number of registrations this year is a sign that management is still a sought after career choice by young Indians.

Our global experience of providing self-service, online registration and scheduling capabilities, coupled with our capacity planning expertise, have allowed us to manage such a large number of registrations within a fixed window smoothly, said Soumitra Roy, Managing Director, Prometric India.

The next step for Prometric is to prepare and check all testing locations to ensure candidates have a smooth testing experience. Candidates should also familiarize themselves with the test day procedures by viewing the video that is available from the CAT website, ensure they bring the right documents, and show up punctually on the right day, at the right location. The full and final report on CAT 2011 registration data is expected to be available by 18 October 2011.
