FAQs

Is it mandatory to pay the CAT application fee during the registration process?

It is not mandatory to register for the CAT exam and pay the application fee at once. Candidates can fill out the CAT application form 2025 on one day and pay the fee on another day. For candidates who will register for the exam and create an ID, the registration and application window will remain open until the deadline for form submission. To be qualified to take the test, candidates must, however, submit the CAT form and application fee before the application deadline. No application for the CAT will be submitted until the application fee has been paid.

For how long will the CAT application form correction window 2025 remain open?

The CAT application form correction window 2025 will remain open for some days in the last week of September 2025. Only those candidates who will register for the CAT exam will be able to access the CAT application form correction facility.

What is the CAT application form correction process?

After the CAT registration process is concluded, registered candidates have the option to edit specific fields on their application form using the CAT application form correction feature. Candidates will only have this facility once, to make necessary changes to forms that have already been submitted. In order to edit the editable fields during the correction window for the CAT application form, candidates must use the required credentials to sign in to the CAT official website. To avoid any problems during the admissions process, candidates must make sure they make the necessary changes in their CAT application form during the correction window.  

Do candidates have to pay any fee for using the CAT application form correction facility?

No, the exam conducting body of CAT provides the CAT application form correction facility totally free of cost. Candidates can edit the editable areas on the CAT application form, which include the candidate’s photo, candidates’s signature, and the test city preference of the candidate, free of charge when the application form correction facility is available. Candidates only need to log in to the official CAT website using the required credentials to access the CAT application form correction facility.

Can candidates change their test center after the CAT admit card is released?

No, once the CAT admit card is issued and the candidate is assigned a test center, they are not permitted to change the location of their CAT test center under any circumstances. It is not possible to change the test center once it has been assigned because it would cause accommodation problems because the CAT test center is assigned to candidates based on a number of variables, including the availability of seats and the number of applicants choosing a particular test center. The testing location specified on the candidate's CAT admit card is where they must appear for the exam.

Is the academic qualifications field editable during the CAT application form correction window?

No, the academic qualifications field is not editable during the CAT application form correction window. The fields that can be edited during the CAT application form correction window are the candidate’s photo, the candidate’s signature, and the test city preference of the candidate. If candidates think they have made a mistake while entering their academic information during the CAT registration process, they can make changes to their application form before the CAT registration deadline. Once the registration process for CAT ends and the application form is submitted, no changes can be made to the academic qualifications field.

Is the CAT application form correction window re-opened after the first deadline?

No, the CAT application form correction window is not re-opened after the first deadline. The CAT application form correction window is only available once and candidates can only edit their application form during this period. No requests for the correction of the CAT application form will be entertained once the application form correction process has ended. Therefore, candidates must make sure they use the application form correction facility when it is made available by the exam conducting authorities to correct any mistakes or discrepancies in their CAT application form.

What are the details that can be edited during the CAT application form correction window?

No other field in the CAT application form is editable during the application form correction process. Since only a few areas are editable during the application form correction process, candidates must make sure they fill out the CAT application form carefully and do not make any mistakes while entering the required information.
