New Delhi: A writ petition by over 70 Common Admission Test (CAT) toppers was filed in the Delhi High Court on Monday for seeking a stay on the second phase of the admission procedure of the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs).
Most of the students who have filed the petition are among the 1% top CAT scorers but have not received a call for admission from the IIMs due to pre-test criteria that had been kept hidden by the prestigious b-schools till the result for CAT-2010 was announced on January 12.
The eligibility criteria for admissions have been changed by three IIMs after CAT-2010. Also, five other IIMs had decided to give weightage to Class X, XII and undergraduate marks. These changes in the admission procedure had been revealed only after the CAT-2010 results were announ.
