Common Aptitude Test (CAT) 2013 dates are rescheduled in Andhra Pradesh ‘due to political unrest’ on Telengana issue.
“Due to political unrest in Andhra Pradesh and in the interest of protecting the safety of all CAT candidates, Prometric is contacting candidates scheduled to test in Vishakapatnam and Vijayawada and rescheduling their appointments to later dates in the same city as their original appointments, or providing a wide set of locations for rescheduling including Bangalore, Bhubaneshwar, Chennai and Kolkata. Candidates are asked to login to their CAT profiles, print their latest admit cards, and bring their revised schedules on test day,” says a statement issued by test taker Prometric.
CAT dates may also be rescheduled in Odisha due to the after effects of cyclone Phailin. However there has been no official communication from Prometric for the same. Candidates from areas affected by cyclone should contact CAT helpline at the earliest.
Andhra Pradesh has the fourth highest number of registrations this year with 18,723 candidates. The test is scheduled over a period of 20 days, from October 16 to November 11, at various centres identified by Prometric in 40 cities.
