New Delhi : The Prometric Testing Pvt. Limited, which was in news for the technical fiasco during the Indian Institutes of Management's (IIMs) Common Admission Test (CAT) in 2009, has recently strived to improve upon its application and delivery fronts, announced its CEO Charles Kernan on Monday.
The CAT 2009 faux pas was a significant phase that dented the image of IIM with major glitches. "First three days saw 13% of the networks going kaput while the remaining eight days of the examination were a smooth sail. There were no displacements in a re-test conducted in January for some students. We are satisfied with the conduct of the examination, which was according to the international standards. Over two lakh students out of 2.16 lakh took their examination satisfactorily in the first testing window from November 28 to December 8," said Mr. Kernan.
In a bid to lighten the blot, he further added that, "Prometric, including Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in India, conducts nine million tests annually all over the world. It has transformed the way exams are conducted from a normal paper-pencil format to a computer-based format. No other company in the world has transformed the way exams are conducted and same standards were applied for CAT too."
