Officers in the CAT office, however, were sure the scores would be released on February 28. Individual IIMs will then send out call letters to shortlisted students for phase two, which comprises group discussion, personal interview and essay-writing. Earlier, CAT officials had assured students and other B-schools that CAT scores would be out before the weekend. 

"But on Friday, IIM officials informed us they were taking time to upload pictures of lakhs of candidates. They said the process of uploading each and every score card online would be completed only by Sunday," said a director of a B-school.
