PWD candidates get dedicated help desk & more
September 15th, Bengaluru:
Indian Institute of Management Bangalore announced today that the
registrations for CAT 2016 end by 5:00 p.m. on 22nd September. Prof.
Rajendra K. Bandi, Convenor,
CAT 2016, said: “Going by the trends of previous years, there will be a
huge surge in the number of registrations in the last 2-3 days, which
increases the load on the servers, and can potentially impact the server
response time. Therefore, candidates are
strongly advised to register early and avoid last minute
inconvenience.” Prof. Rajendra K. Bandi also announced new and salient
features important for CAT 2016 aspirants:
