The first computer based CAT was marred with technical snags. The issue was so serious that it prompted the Government of India to seek a report from the convenor. The trouble was diagnosed as ‘Conficker’ and ‘W32 Nimda‘, the two viruses that attacked the system display of the test, causing severe slow down. CAT 2015 was conducted by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). At present, there are 20 IIM’s and other top B- schools.

Candidates are given +3 points for each correct answer and -1 point for each incorrect answer. No points are given for questions that are not answered. The raw scores are then adjusted through a process called equating. Equated raw scores are then placed on a common scale or metric to ensure appropriate interpretation of the scores.
