“The results of CAT 2007 will be available on the cat website: www.catiim.in on the 8th of January from 3 pm onwards. The scores can be accessed by keying in the test registration number and either the date of birth (preferred) or the cat application number,” says an official update on the CAT website.

Getting your CAT result should be easier this year and not involve fighting with the sluggish IIM websites. CAT 2007 scores can also be obtained telephonically or over SMS.

“To access the results through SMS, the candidate should send an SMS to 57333 as follows: ‘CAT space registration number space date of birth (dd/mm/yy)’ or ‘CAT space registration number space application number. Example: CAT 5370082 030482,” says the CAT website.

Admitting a typographical error in one question of CAT 2007, the website also clarifies that the test will be evaluated on 74 questions instead of 75. “Question Q41 of the Test Booklet Form Number (TBFN) 111, Q33 of the TBFN 222, Q48 of TBFN 333, and Q33 of the TBFN 444 had a typographical error. Hence, this question will not be considered for evaluation,” it says.
