IIM Indore has officially closed the registration portal for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2026 as of September 22. With the primary application phase now concluded, candidates who have successfully submitted their forms and completed the necessary fee payments are moving into the next phase of the examination cycle. This transition marks the end of the window for new applicants to create accounts or initiate fresh registrations for this year's entrance process.
While the main registration window has shut, IIM Indore has provided a brief extension for those who have already generated their login credentials but have yet to finalize their fee payment. These candidates have until September 24 at 5:00 PM to complete the transaction through the official website, iimcat.ac.in. It is essential for these applicants to ensure their payments are processed within this timeframe to maintain their eligibility for the examination.
Following the conclusion of the registration process, the next significant event for applicants is the opening of the application correction window. This facility is expected to become available in the first week of October. It is important for candidates to note that this window is not intended for a full revision of the application; rather, it is restricted to specific fields. While official guidelines regarding editable fields are precise, candidates are generally advised to prepare to update information that may have been entered incorrectly during the initial submission.
Candidates are encouraged to review their uploaded documents and personal details now to ensure they are ready to make any necessary adjustments as soon as the portal opens. Following the correction period, the focus will shift toward the final preparations for the exam. The official schedule confirms that the admit cards for the CAT 2026 examination will be released on November 4. Candidates who do not require any corrections to their application forms will be able to download their hall tickets directly from the official website on this date.
As the examination date approaches, registered candidates are advised to dedicate their time to sectional practice and mock tests. With the administrative phase of the application process nearing completion, the focus for students now transitions entirely to academic preparation for the upcoming test.
