Everonn Education, which co-manages the CAT's on-ground support and operates six testing centers has also been offering CAT coaching since January 2011. Even though this violates the service agreement of the CAT, both IIMs and Prometric remain blissfully unaware of it.

Centres conducting CAT exams this year are ready with generators and UPS back-up to avoid a re-run of last year.

Prometric, the testing agency entrusted with conducting the Common Admissions Test (CAT) today announced two companies --- MeritTrac Services Pvt Ltd and Everonn Education Ltd --- as its on-ground partners for CAT 2010. Both companies replace NIIT which participated in CAT 2009. "Everonn is an existing test delivery partner of Prometrics IT certification business and MeritTrac has a good track record in conducting examinations in India," Prometric told the media today.
