Important Points to Consider During CAT 2024 Registration

1.      Registration Link: Registration is done through the official link on iimcat.ac.in. For a better user experience, we recommend using Mozilla Firefox (versions 94 to 112), Google Chrome (versions 88 to 113), or Microsoft Edge.

2.      Compatibility: The CAT 2024 application form is available on Android (version 4.0 and above) and iOS (version 11 and above), allowing you to fill out the CAT form using your smartphone.

3.      Accuracy is Key: While the above points may help save time, be cautious. Errors in personal information can lead to the loss of your submitted record, and re-filing such registration forms can be tedious.

4.      Test Center Selection: Candidates can select up to five cities for test center allotment. For your first choice, it’s advisable to choose your hometown or city to increase your chances of being assigned to a convenient test center.

5.      Non-Editable Fields: Please note that both academic and personal detail fields are non-editable after submission. Therefore, ensure you cross-check all information before final submission.

6.      Payment of Registration Fee: The registration process is considered complete once the fees are paid by September 13, 2024. Registrations that are not fully paid will be deleted.
