MBA aspirants have under 24 hours to repair critical errors. The CAT 2026 form correction window is live for one packed day. It opened at 10 am on October 5 and closes at 5 pm on October 6. Only the photograph, signature, and test city preferences can be edited. Edits apply only to candidates who registered and paid successfully. No extension is expected beyond the deadline.
Everything else is locked for this cycle. Personal details, academic records, and category cannot be changed. Name, date of birth, email, phone, and marks stay frozen. Access the edit link via Candidate Login on iimcat.ac.in. Open the form, navigate to image or city sections, then submit changes. Verify each replacement carefully, then save and download the updated application summary for records.
CAT 2026 form correction window: exact hours and access
Log in early to avoid peak-hour server load or session timeouts. Mid-morning and late evening often see heavier traffic. Prefer a desktop, stable broadband, and an updated browser. Keep compliant JPEGs ready to upload without resizing under pressure. Remember, the window shuts at 5 pm on October 6.
CAT 2026 photo and signature guidelines: quick fixes
Use a recent colour passport photo with a plain, light background and sharp focus. Avoid shadows, filters, headgear, or tinted glasses. Sign neatly in dark ink on white paper, then crop tightly before scanning. Export as JPEG, and compress if uploads fail. For assistance, email [email protected], 9 am–6 pm, Monday–Saturday.
CAT 2026 test city reshuffle strategy before allocation
Reorder preferences using realistic commute time, not wishful thinking. Group one primary city with nearby alternates to retain proximity if demand spikes. Consider public transport reliability and morning reporting times. CAT says it will try to allot one of your preferred cities, subject to availability. Update choices if your circumstances changed.
CAT 2026 admit card date and exam-day slots
Admit cards are scheduled to release on November 4 through candidate login. The exam is on Sunday, November 29, conducted in three sessions nationwide. Slot one runs 8:30 am to 10:30 am. Slot two runs 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. Slot three runs 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Finalise edits today to safeguard allocation.
