Free Press Journal: Indore: Wednesday, January 29, 2014.
Indore Bench
of Madhya Pradesh High Court on Monday disposed of a petition filed by some
CAT- 2013 aggrieved candidates stating that the petitioners should take to
legal route only after they remained unsatisfied with the answers to their RTI
queries.
It is to be
noted that thousands of students had cried foul over the normalization method
and scaling process adopted for CAT and sought to know their raw scores. They
had also alleged discrepancies in the CAT and had sought revaluation.
Their
revaluation demand was put down by the organiser of CAT- 2013, Indian Institute
of Management Indore, saying that there is no scope for revaluation in CAT but
their requests for raw scores and the RTI queries were forwarded to agencies
concerned.
Even as reply
to RTI queries are awaited, candidate ash Garg and others moved a petition in
the High Court through Advocate Nilesh Agrawal.Agrawal said that the double
bench of Justices Shantanu Kemkar and MC Garg disposed of the petition saying
that the students should wait till reply to the RTI queries is received.
“ If the
reply does not satisfy them, they can re- file the petition,” Agrawal said
quoting the court.It is to be noted that an online petition over discrepancies
in CAT is signed by over 7000 candidates.Recently, a group of a dozen aggrieved
candidates met CAT- 2013 convener Rohit Kapoor and feared that they failed to
crack CAT due to the new scaling method and sought to know the method and their
raw scores.
