'We may release in public domain how raw scores are converted to scaled scores' : IIM Indore Director - CAT 2013

In an exclusive interview, Prof.Ravichandran hints that CAT could become all year round like the GMAT but does not rule out going back to a single day test but in an online form. He says he understands the student confusion around normalization and says that all efforts are being made to provide as much information to aspirants as possible about conversion of raw scores to scaled scores. He believes that IIM Indore could put out information on this in the public domain soon but subject to confidentiality agreements that are in place with the service providers.

He talks in detail about the evolution of online CAT and how efforts were made to make the CAT vouchers available online. He talks about a student from Assam who wrote  to Prof.Rohit Kapoor thanking him for making this facility available. He also talks about normalization confusion around past academic scores and believes that more transparency can be expected around this.

Most importantly, he says that student-centricity is the mantra for CAT 2013 and everything will be done to make CAT more student centric.
