35 CAT aspirants get Ahmednagar as centre instead of Ahmedabad

As many as 35 students from Gujarat had to travel to Ahmednagar, over 600 km from here, to take the Common Admission Test (CAT) for management courses today due to a possible mix-up in allotment of exam centre.
The students claimed that they had sought Ahmedabad as the centre, instead they got Ahmednagar which is in Maharashtra.
"I had submitted the exam form for CAT a month ago and given Ahmedabad as preferred centre. But when I got the admit card, I found the place was Ahmednagar. First I thought it could be my mistake, but many others had the same issue," said Mehul Mathur, who hails from neighbouring Mehsana.

Keyur Rao, who too got Ahmednagar as the exam centre, endorsed Mahtur's contention. "As many as 35 aspirants cannot commit the same mistake," he said.
Gujarat Congress spokesperson Manish Doshi criticised CAT for the mismanagement, alleging that despite the students pointing out this mix-up, CAT authorities did not respond.
The CAT authorities could not be contacted for comments.
