India

on Saturday, when the test was administered to the students online for the first time.

CAT 2009 was taken today as thousands of students across the country, however, their aspirations have suffered because of the failure of the computer servers to hold on as the first online CAT exam was delivered to the students.

.CAT online will work and these are minor glitches and the problems in paper would be resolved with time. It happens when the paper is held for the first time online

.Totally irresponsible and incorrect article! The total number of students who have registered for CAT is around 1.4 lakhs. But, only a portion of those appeared for the test yesterday, as the test is scheduled to be conducted over a 10 day window. "CAT 2009 was taken today by nearly 2,50, 000 students across the country" is totally incorrect!
