The Fiasco goes online

Here's a quick small post. You've paid Rs.1400 for being tossed around by Prometric. For Prometric, India is a third-world country that deserves third-world treatment. No thoughts to those dozens whose changed test timings would jeopardize their plans, the train bookings, the leave status at their company, the additional expenses they would have to incur just because some bum couldn't fix the bugs in time... And another hornet-in-the-hat is the no-disclosure clause. just why the heck? is this a new way of gagging freedom of speech? or the IIMs specifically asked Prometric for this clause so that all the mistakes (like in each of the previous CAT papers - pl see my previous posts here) remain under the wraps and nobody gets any wiser? Hey CAT, you pulled a cheap one on the IIM aspirants...
