Kolkata:
Global testing and assessment service provider Prometric, which
was responsible for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2009 - the
entrance examination for Indian Institutes of Management and other
leading management institutions - Tuesday assured a hassle-free
test this year.
CAT 2009 became a disaster after technical glitches and server
crashes at several centres across the country.
Prometric said it will upgrade the physical and technical
infrastructure of all test centres.
The internal inquiry has revealed that the problem during the last
year CAT examination was due to unlicensed software and
non-updated antivirus at some test centres, Prometric managing
director Soumitro Roy said here at a press meet.
The company has decided to purchase original software licences and
give it to all the test centres. The company is also figuring out
hardware of the computers. All external interfaces would be cut
during that period, Roy said.
There would be a separately trained team to check and re-check the
software and hardware capabilities, said an official.
Roy also said stress is given on security and security checks like
thumb impressions and images of candidates would be used while
appearing for examination in order to check proxy candidates.

Due to the threats of riot and
terror attacks, the festive season in India
nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security
personnel.
Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal
in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows,
Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh
in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point,
the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player
in its full sound.
