The Indian Institutes of Management will close the CAT 2025 application form on September 20, 2025. Candidates who haven’t yet applied for the exam may do so before the last date. The application form has to be filled out online at iimcat.ac.in.
It is unlikely that there will be another extension of the application form. Earlier, the last date was extended from September 13 to September 20, 2025. The CAT application form opened on August 1, 2025.
The CAT 2025 exam will be conducted on November 30, 2025. Only such candidates who duly complete the application process will be issued admit cards for sitting in the exam.
CAT 2025 application form correction window
Exam officials haven’t given any dates for the CAT 2025 application form correction. However, it is expected that the correction facility will be opened soon after the application closes.
Using the application correction facility, you can edit the following fields in the CAT application form:
- Photograph
- Signature
- Test city preference
This means, if you have wrongly entered your email ID, phone number, academic details, or even the name, it cannot be corrected.
So, be careful when filling the application form and check that it is duly filled with the correct date before submitting it.
Issue of CAT 2026 Admit Card
Admit cards for the CAT 2025 exam will be available for download from November 5, 2025 (onward).
Admit cards will be issued to all candidates who complete the application process. To download the admit card, use your CAT login ID and password.
On the day of the exam, you will need the admit card and a valid photo ID proof.
