However, it is too early to declare anything concrete on details like what new aspects will be introduced in the test this year and so on."

Moorthy said that CAT will continue it's partnership with Prometric for conducting the test online.

While IIM-C will conduct CAT in 2011, IIM-Lucknow will lend them support in the process.
