CAT 2026 Registration Deadline Approaches: Final Call for MBA Aspirants

Candidates aspiring to pursue an MBA through the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2026 have until tomorrow, September 22, to complete their registration. The application window, managed by IIM Indore, is set to close at 5 PM, marking the final opportunity for prospective students to secure their candidacy for this year's entrance examination.

The registration process, which was previously extended from the original deadline of September 15, is reaching its conclusion. Officials have indicated that there is no expectation of further extensions, making it critical for all interested applicants to finalize their submissions through the official website at iimcat.ac.in before the cutoff time.

Important Dates and Next Steps for CAT 2026 Applicants

Following the closure of the registration portal, the examination process will move into its next phase. IIM Indore is scheduled to open an application form correction window, which is expected to be available to candidates during the first week of October 2026. This period will allow applicants to rectify specific details provided in their initial submissions.

Once the administrative processes are completed, the focus will shift to the issuance of hall tickets. According to the official schedule, the CAT 2026 admit cards are slated for release on November 4. Candidates are reminded that failure to complete the registration process by the tomorrow's deadline will render them ineligible to sit for the examination, effectively barring them from the current admission cycle.
