The Right to Information Act seems to be holding out hope for candidates unhappy with their scores in Common Admission Test (CAT) 2009.

Speaking to the media, Satish Deodhar, convenor of CAT committee, a pan-IIM body, said on Wednesday that a re-evaluation of CAT scores was possible only if candidates asked for their score details through RTI application. He maintained that the CAT 2009 scores were not flawed. At the upcoming IIM directors' meet, however, the online test is likely to be reviewed. A total of 2.17 lakh candidates across the country took the first online CAT this year.

"We cannot allow students to take a look a their test papers. It is not done in any test, be it an entrance test or university exams. But if students file RTIs in case of any doubts about their scores, we can ask Prometric to conduct a re-evaluation," said Deodhar.

About Prometric continuing with the contract for online tests, he said, "The decision to take the test online and choice of the agency was done by IIM directors collectively. So, they will decide the fate of the online test and that of Prometric."
