Did CAT results jump the gun?

NAGPUR: CAT scores could be seen online for a few hours on Monday afternoon even though the official date for announcement of the results for the 2010 test is January 12.
Several students TOI spoke to confirmed that the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2010 results could be viewed online on the official website. The leak was apparently a goof-up by the company managing the exam.
A Nagpur student who checked his result said, on condition of anonymity, "I got the link on Facebook.When I clicked on it, I was directed to a page which told me to enter my CAT registration number. When I did, I saw my score card along with a photograph that was clicked just before I took the test. Even though it said the results were for CAT 2009 in the initial link, when I submitted my registration number, it showed me the results of CAT 2010. Some of my friends, too, checked their results.'
After an hour, the website, www.catiim.in, shut down completely and was not accessible later on Monday.
CAT 2010 convener Himanshu Rai said the website was shut down on Sunday. "We have started compiling the results, but the hyperlink and the website, that will display the results on January 12, have still not been created. Students should not rely on what pops up on the cached pages of previous years' CAT results, which is what they saw," he said.
