Now, we have started working on the modalities of the test for this year. However, it is too early to declare anything concrete on details like what new aspects will be introduced in the test this year and so on."
Moorthy said that CAT will continue it's partnership with Prometric for conducting the test online.
While IIM-C will conduct CAT in 2011, IIM-Lucknow will lend them support in the process. Moorthy said, "Though IIM-C will be leading the responsibility for conducting CAT we will be supported by IIM-L. We will be in touch with the rest of the IIMs and get support from them as well in various ways."
