After CAT 2026 registration closed on 22 September, IIM Indore opened a short edit window on 5 and 6 October 2026. It was not a general correction facility. It covered four items only, all of them about the candidate’s image and the test centre, and it was open only to those who had registered and paid the fee. It is closed now, and the admit card issued on 6 November carries what was in the form at its close.
What the window allowed
| Field | Could it be changed? |
|---|---|
| Photograph | Yes |
| Signature | Yes |
| Test state | Yes |
| Test city preferences | Yes |
| Anything else in the form | No |
The window was open on iimcat.ac.in through the candidate login, and IIM Indore said in advance that it would not be extended.
Why only these four
A blurred photograph or a wrong signature can stop a candidate at the centre, because the invigilator matches both with the admit card. The test city matters for the same practical reason: a candidate who moved after applying would otherwise have been sent to a city they no longer live in. Marks, category, work experience and the choice of IIM programmes are what the shortlists are built on, and they were frozen at registration so that every candidate is judged on what they declared by the same date.

- The photograph or signature looks wrong on the admit card: carry two recent passport-size photographs and an original photo ID to the centre, and tell the invigilator before the exam starts.
- A detail such as the category or the marks is wrong: it cannot be changed now. Write to the CAT helpdesk through the contact page of iimcat.ac.in with your registration number, and keep the proof ready for the interview stage, where documents are checked.
- The test centre is far away: there is no way to move it after the admit card. Plan the journey and, if needed, reach the city a day early.
What comes next
- The exam on Sunday, 29 November 2026, in the slot printed on the admit card.
- The provisional answer key with each candidate’s responses, and a short paid window to object.
- The result on iimcat.ac.in, then the shortlists and interviews of each IIM, and the admission rounds of the other schools that take CAT, Central University MBA programmes among them.
The schedule, eligibility and pattern are in CAT 2026: the notification, and every step is on the CAT page.
