Vaishnavi-CAT examinee

A visually impaired CAT examinee has challenged IIM Bangalore’s final admissions list.Vaishnavi, a 22-year-old from Bangalore, obtained a percentile of 89.2 in CAT, above the mark set for candidates in the persons with disability (PWD) category.She now wants the B-school to provide her a copy of the PWD-category admissions list along with the marks each student obtained in the GD and interview.With the IIM unwilling to meet her request, Vaishnavi has moved the Central Information Commission.The B-school has told the Central Information Commission it is willing to reveal Vaishnavi’s marks in the GD and interview and the weight accorded to each “if the body insists”. The commission has asked the IIM to argue its case on June 18 in Vaishnavi’s presence.
