The new centres have been opened in Gurgaon, Hyderabad and will start operations this year.
New Delhi: US-headquartered test-conducting firm Prometric Inc. opened its own test centres in India, paving the way for the company going solo in holding the Common Admission Test (CAT) for the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). The company said, however, that “it will not drop its partners” in the near future. These include Everonn Education Ltd and MeritTrac.
“We have now opened two centres of our own—managed and administered entirely by Prometric—unlike other centres which are of third-party vendors,” said Soumitra Roy, managing director of Prometric India. “We don’t know about the future, but will continue to expand our network.”
Prometric, which has been conducting CAT online for the IIMs since 2009, is doing so in association with Everonn and Manipal education group-promoted MeritTrac.
Roy said the situation at Everonn is being closely monitored. The Indian company’s managing director P. Kishore is in judicial custody in an alleged tax evasion and bribery case. Roy also said that he didn’t want to associate an individual with the entire system. “We will take appropriate action at the appropriate time,” he said, without elaborating.
