If sources are to be believed, Delhi University is expected to release the results for over 10,000 undergraduate aspirants who appeared for Delhi University's (DU) Common Aptitude Test for English (CATE) this year, however there is no official confirmation from the university. The various test centres across the university conducted the exam this year where good attendance was observed of eager students and anxious parents.
This year 21 colleges conducted admission tests for English (Honours) through CATE, with over 10,000 students appearing for the exam. The joint entrance test for Bachelor of Business Science (BBS), Bachelor of Business Economics (BBE) and Bachelor of Financial and Investment Analysis (BFIA) were also conducted on the same day.
Six more colleges, including Lady Shri Ram College and Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, have joined the list this year. The joint entrance test, for which 15,500 students had applied, was conducted from 10 am to 12 noon across New Delhi, Kolkata, Chandigarh and Lucknow.
The two - hour long paper had 120 multiple-choice questions on subjects such as maths, English, general knowledge and business application. Every correct answer fetches three marks, while one negative mark is given for every incorrect answer. The examination was tough but achievable, felt Anushree Kalia, a student. “ The maths section was hard enough to keep you sweating through the exam,” she added.
The CATE, conducted between 2 pm and 3.30 pm at 25 centres across the city, went off without a hitch. “ We received no complaints from any of our centres. The question paper too had no problems,” Sumanyu Satpathy, head of DUs English department, said. The CATE 2011 results can be checked on the official website of DU on http://www.du.ac.in, once published.
