CAT 2026 Registration has closed for new candidates, while eligible applicants can complete fee payment by September 24. The correction window is expected after registration, followed by the CAT 2026 admit card on November 4 and examination on November 29.
The CAT Registration 2026 process for new candidates has officially closed. IIM Indore, the conducting institute for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2026, closed the CAT 2026 application form window on September 22 at 5 PM after extending the original deadline from September 15. However, candidates who had completed their registration can still pay the CAT registration 2026 fee until September 24, 2026.
The extended fee payment facility is not a fresh CAT 2026 registration opportunity. Candidates who did not complete their application by September 22 cannot register now. Those who successfully submitted their CAT application should next track the CAT 2026 correction window, admit card and examination updates.
