Yup, according to an article in the TOI, it seems the results of the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2008, to be conducted by the IIMs on November 16, will be available on SMS and e-mail. The results will be declared on January 9, 2009.

According to Satish Deodhar, Faculty in charge of Post Graduate Programme Admissions,

“We realised that the candidates had to wait for hours before they could get through their roll numbers to see the scores. We had put this on a trial run in CAT 2007 as well and got a very good response. So we decided to introduce this in the CAT bulletin.”

He also said they have millions of people logging on to their site to check their own results as well as those of their friends, relatives and students, so this move would hopefully ease the strain on their official website.
