No hacking of the CAT result website – IIM-A

Ahmedabad

Amid the rumors of leakage in the results of the Common Admission Test 2015 (CAT), Indian Institute of Managementm Ahmedabad (IIM-A), which conducted the prestigious entrance test this year has clarified that the confusion was created owing to updating of the related website.

CAT convenor, Prof. Tathagata Bandyopadhyay, in a statement issued here this evening, said , ‘today morning (between 9:00-9:40 am), some students accessed their own results (not others) on the portal during the period the website was being updated, which caused some confusion among students. There was no leakage, no error or hacking of data whatsoever. TCS plugged this loophole immediately.”

“IIMA is pleased to announce the CAT-2015 results today. We had messaged the total percentile to all the candidates at 1:50 pm and at present, the candidates can also log in with their ID and password to view their score card.,’ the statement said.

Notably around 2 lakh students had appeared for CAT on November 29 this year.

Owing to the problem in the website the rumour spread that after hacking the source code on the log in page of iimcat.ac.in a few candidates managed to see their results before the official announcement.
