If your name, category, or photograph looks wrong, flag it immediately. Keep your registered email active for replies. Do not wait until the week of the exam.
How to download the CAT 2026 admit card and what to verify
Log in with your CAT user ID and password. Open the admit card and check name, application number, date of birth, category, and disability status.

CAT 2026 slot and city: change policy and helpline escalation
Slots are algorithmically assigned and rarely change after release. City changes are generally not entertained now. For factual errors, write to the official helpline with candidate ID, application form, and a short explanation. Attach supporting documents. Call the helpdesk if email delays persist. Escalate early; resolution windows shrink closer to November 29.
CAT 2026 photo, signature and valid ID rules; allowed items and dress code
Carry your printed admit card and one original government photo ID. Acceptable IDs include Aadhaar, Passport, PAN, Voter ID, or Driving Licence. Names must match; avoid initials mismatches. Do not carry calculators, watches, pens, Bluetooth devices, or metallic accessories. Centres provide scribble pads and pens. Dress simple, without heavy jewellery or layered pockets.
CAT 2026 mock test and exam-day reporting timeline
Attempt the official mock test to learn navigation, on‑screen calculator, and section timers. Practice switching sections within rules to manage pressure. On exam day, reach the centre at least 90 minutes early. Expect frisking and biometrics. Gates may close 15–30 minutes before the slot. Keep pockets empty and documents in hand.
