Harsha Shettigar, a Bangalore-based software professional (aged 26 years), has filed a PIL(Public Interest Litigation) in Kartnataka High Court requesting the cancellation of CAT 2009 Online examination and to re-introduce the old “pen and paper” mode for CAT which is the most competitive examinations conducted by Top Business schools in the Country.

The PIL states that “There were various incidents reported all over the country about the online CAT Examination and students feel that they are being cheated about how IIM is handling this issue . Even though the online method was claimed full proof various incidents of Cheating , reboots, viruses were also reported across the country.”

He added that the questions were repeated from one slot to another, and questions that had appeared in previous years’ exams were repeated in CAT 2009.

He further said the candidates who appeared from the second day had the advantage as they “mugged up” questions from previous years and so, those tested on the first day were meted out “injustice”.

It also said the questions were “all over the Internet in the CAT window period”.

The writ petition has included “Convenor of CAT 2009, IIM-Ahmedabad”, “Director of IIM-Bangalore” and “Principal Secretary, Union of India, Ministry of Human Resources Development, New Delhi” as respondents. The PIL is presently pending for admission before the principal bench of the High Court.
