CAT 2026 Registration Deadline Extended: How To Select Exam Centre? City Allotment Explained
IIM Admission: In case of high demand in a particular region, the CAT centre reserves the right to allot a centre close to any of the preferred options.
The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) have extended the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2026 registration deadline to September 22, 2026, at 5 PM. The revised deadline supersedes the earlier closing time of September 17, 2026. The registration process kicked off on August 3, 2026, and candidates can finalize their applications before the extended deadline to avoid any delays.
The CAT 2026 exam is scheduled for November 29, 2026, and will be held in three sessions, each lasting 120 minutes. It will consist of three sections: Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Quantitative Ability (QA). Candidates may choose up to five preferred cities for the test and will be allocated one of their choices, depending on demand.
After registration closes, a limited edit window will be provided to candidates to make changes to their photograph, signature, and test city preferences. Candidates must ensure they submit their applications well before the deadline to avoid any last-minute technical issues.
