CHENNAI: The Indian Institute of Management (IIMs) and Prometric, a leading technology enabled testing and assessment service provider, have announced extension of the last date of online registration and sale of vouchers for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2009.

The online registration, which was earlier scheduled to end on October 1 2009 has been extended until October 11 2009, a press release from Prometric said here.

The 'edit' feature would also be available to candidates until October 11 and sale of CAT vouchers at designated AXIS bank branches has been extended until October 8, 2009.

The decision was taken by the IIMs and Prometric in view of a series of bank holidays in the month of September.
With the large number of candidates throughout India taking the CAT every year, the extended window would allow those who might have been inconvenienced by these holidays more time to obtain a voucher and register for the inaugural computer-based CAT 2009.

The CAT 2009, scheduled between 28 November and 7 December 2009, will be conducted in 32 cities across India through

105 secure computer-based testing centres specially prepared for the CAT examination, the release added.
