Over 70 Common Admission Test (CAT) toppers on Monday filed a writ petition in the Delhi high court seeking a stay on the second stage of admissions at the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). Most of these students figure in the top 1% of CAT scorers but have not received calls from the IIMs because of pre-test criteria that the premier B-schools hid till after the results were announced on January 12.

As was reported first by HT on February 9, three IIMs have changed eligibility criteria after the test, and five other IIMs have ascribed weightage to class X, XII and undergraduate marks which were hidden till CAT results were announced.
