The IIMs have opened the gates for CAT 2012 registration from Monday, July 30, 2012. The rainy Monday morning
in North India could not deter the spirits of the aspirants which
was evident from the long queue in front of Axis Bank, Noida Sector
18 branch.
After a long wait outside the bank, when
the candidates were finally allowed inside, there was yet another
round of waiting in a queue in front of the counter which gave away
the CAT vouchers after filling up the voucher forms. The
application fee is Rs. 1600.
While waiting for her turn, Shikha Sharma, a CAT 2012 aspirant, who has just finished her B.Tech said, “I did not want to delay the process of CAT 2012 registration and came to buy the voucher today itself. I want to take CAT 2012 in early November and to ensure I get the date of my choice, I have come on the very first day of the CAT 2012 registration.”
Another CAT 2012 aspirant, Sushant Surana, who is a working professional also did not want to take any chances of getting the CAT 2012 voucher. “Generally Mondays are the busiest day of the week but still I took special permission from my office to come and buy my CAT 2012 voucher. Delaying the process may cause extra rush and I might not get the date of my choice. I am also taking IIFT, so did not want to take any chances.”
