Ahmedabad: Expressing dissatisfaction over the decision to conduct retest of the Common Admission Test (CAT) on February 1 following the nationwide leak of question papers last Sunday (Nov 23), a senior professor of Indian Institute of Management (IIM) has allegedly decided to file a public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the decision.

In an e-mail notice circulated last evening (Nov 28), IIM-Ahmedabad Professor J P singh said, "The retest was not necessary and would be a harassment to the 1.25 lakh students and their families apart from being a financial burden for the institutions."

Singh also said in the e-mail that "the IIMs should treat the cancelled tests of November 23 as the first cut eligibility and hold a second test for fewer number of students".

However, neither Prof Singh nor IIMA director Bakul Dholakia were available for comment on the controversial e-mail.
