The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) are doing a last round of checks of the computer-based system they will use for the first time this year for their common admission test (CAT). There are fewer aspirants this year, though.
Around 242,000 aspirants will attempt to bell the CAT this year for entry into the reputed management institutes, compared to 276,000 last year.

The test will be held between Nov 28 and Dec 7 in 32 cities at 105 testing centres connected to a main server.
Some experts there are fewer aspirants this year because they are unsure of the outcome of a computer-based test.

CAT scores determine entry to the IIMs at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore, Lucknow, Kozhikode and Shillong as well as Management Development Institute at Gurgaon, Institute of Management Training at Ghaziabad, Mudra Institute of Communications in Ahmedabad and Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research in Mumbai.
