“The untiring support of the CAT Committee, comprising admissions chairpersons of IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Calcutta, IIM Indore, IIM Kozhikode and IIM lucknow, and the tremendous hard work by the CAT 2016 secretariat at IIM Bangalore played a big role in enabling us to declare the results on schedule,” Prof Bandi said.
