Overview

  • Registration went live on iimcat.ac.in at 10:00 AM on August 3 and the online application window runs until September 15 at 5:00 PM.
  • The exam is scheduled for November 29 in three sessions across about 170 test cities, with admit cards expected in November and results due in the first week of January 2027.
  • Application fees have risen from last year to ₹2,700 for General/EWS/NC-OBC and ₹1,350 for SC/ST/PwBD, and all fees are non-refundable.
  • Eligibility requires a bachelor’s degree with minimum 50% (45% for SC/ST/PwBD) and final-year students may apply; reservation and certificate rules follow Government of India norms with specific validity dates for NC-OBC and EWS documents.
  • Reports conflict on how long CAT 2026 scores remain valid (one source says November 2027, another December 31, 2027) so candidates should consult the official CAT 2026 information bulletin on iimcat.ac.in for the authoritative rule.
