IIMs located at Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, Indore, Kozhikode, Lucknow and Shillong will be adopting the CBT method.
The traditional method of the test using 'pencil-and-paper' has been scrapped as the number of IIM aspirants has grown considerably over the years; CBT will help accommodate this increase.
The CBT format also would improve communication between candidates and IIMs in terms of programme information, test delivery, receipt of admit cards, and receipt of score reports.
CBT CAT will be a candidate-friendly test in terms of flexibility in the selection of test date, ease of registration process, better physical environment and test experience, and enhanced security in terms of biometric identification of candidates and video monitoring.
The test will be conducted in a window of about 10 days sometime at the end of the calendar year.
