The online registration for CAT 2009 is again open for editing (except the name and username) until November 27, 2009 as a scrutiny by Prometric revealed that there were some who still hadn’t entered all the necessary information such as graduation marks, discipline, SSC, HSC marks in the registration form. Entering this information is necessary because leaving these fields empty may hamper a candidate’s chances of getting GD and PI calls from b-schools even though he may have secured the desired percentile in CAT.
To make sure that a candidate does not miss a chance to get into a b-school of his choice due to an incomplete registration form, Prometric is informing candidates, whose applications are incomplete by sending emails (such as the one shown below) stating the corrective steps that need to be taken. The emails might come as a surprise to those who believe that they had carefully filled all the fields during registration. However, according to Prometric candidate-service, there is a possibility that the information entered by a candidate was lost while scrolling the page thus leaving the application incomplete.
Prometric Vice-President and General Manager, Asia Pacific, Japan and Africa, Ramesh Nava says, “In the final week leading up to the CAT 2009 testing window, Prometric ran a final check to ensure that candidates have entered all the required fields during their online application. Where missing data have been found, an email was sent to the affected candidates to allow them one final opportunity to return to their profile on iim.prometric.com to enter the missing details between 23rd and 27th November 2009.”
email received by candidates whose information was incomplete in CAT 2009 online registration
Hence it is advisable to check your email regularly till November 27, 2009 for any such communication from Prometric regarding registration. One way of doing this is to check it once at the end of the day everyday. If you do receive an email like the above one, just go to http://iim.prometric.com and fill in the necessary details. Calling up candidate care will not help as they would not have much to add to what has already been said in the email. Do not panic as this is a routine check and there is ample time to correct and fill up data that you might have missed.
