Subject: Re-conducting the Common Admission Test (CAT)
Sir,
This is an appeal regarding the anomalies in the most prestigious Management Entrance Examination held in India, the Common Admission Test (from hereon, referred to as CAT).
Sir, we represent a group of students who undertook the aforesaid entrance examination conducted on the 19th of November this year. Being one of the most respected entrance examination for any programme run in the country, no anomalies could have been expected. But, the question paper belied expectations. There were gross anomalies in the CAT, something unexpected by the student community, the academia and people from other walks of life.
Since all of this was unexpected, taking into consideration the prestige of the examination, a good number of students ended up putting a lot of time into solving those anomalous questions which produced no results. This resulted in a lot of time being wasted on questions which were generically erroneous and hence, a poor performance by a candidate. Thus, our abilities were not really tested inside the CAT. Even after having put a lot of effort from our side, we would not get the deserved result because of the errors.
We appreciate your endeavor of taking up the responsibility and admitting the anomalies. But us, as well as other students, feel wronged. And we would like you to urgently and seriously look into the matter and direct the concerned authorities to re-conduct the aforesaid examination.
We would also like to inform you that we have also written about the same to the President of India, His Excellency, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. and to the HRD ministry of India.
A good number of students are with us in this request and to give credence to our stand, we have already started a signature campaign and also used the services of the internet. We have created the following pages on the URL of the websites:
Ref. (1) shouldtherebecatret est.blogspot. com
Ref (2) logicbehindthecatre test.blogspot. com
Copies of all these documents are attached. On these, the comments and logic for our request can be found. We have been receiving responses from students, people from the academia and other walks of life from across the country as well as the world. Most of these people are supporting our stand and requesting the institute to look into the matter and re-conduct thetest.
As for our signature campaign, we have received over 1000 signatures in our city itself; and all these are from just the student community. We feel that if we conduct the same for people from other walks of life, we would get a three-fold or even bigger response, supporting our request. Due to the efforts of people of other cities across India, who share the same interest, we have been informed that the signature campaign has been gaining ground in those cities as well. Hence, this campaign is nationwide and not just constricted to a single city between a handful of students.
We are making all the efforts on our part, and if need be, we can produce those signatures to the authorities concerned prove the strength vastness of our interest.

Roman]We would sincerely request you to look into the matter and help the entire student community by re-conducting the examination. Sir, its not a request with a selfish motive. This request is from the entire student community across India. This is a call for justice and fairness in this democratic country. The future of more than 1 lakh students is at stake. And, if we can say so, the future of India as well.[/FONT]
