What Is the CAT Correction Window?

The CAT correction window is a limited-period online facility provided on the official portal (iimcat.ac.in) for applicants who have already completed their registration and paid the required application fee. Its primary objective is to allow candidates to rectify specific submission errors without invalidating their candidature.

This facility does not allow an applicant to re-fill the entire application form or edit every detail that was filled in the exam form. Candidates are only permitted to alter a strictly specified set of fields approved by the conducting authority. Unregistered candidates cannot use this window to fill a fresh application for the CAT 2026 exam.

CAT 2026 Application Form Correction: Fields That Can Be Edited

The official notification on form correction specifies the confirmed editable fields for CAT 2026. Candidates are allowed to edit three specific details filled in the CAT exam form, including the candidate's photograph, signature, and test state/city preferences.

Q. Can Personal Details Be Changed?

Fundamental identification details, such as the candidate's full name, date of birth, category, email ID, and mobile number, remain completely locked after payment and cannot be edited during the correction window.

Q. Can Candidates Change Their CAT Exam City Preference?

Yes, candidates can modify or reorder their preferred test cities during the edit period as permitted by the official notification for CAT 2026.

CAT 2026 Correction Window: Editable vs Non-Editable Fields

The table below summarises the status of various application fields for the CAT 2026 correction process:

How to Edit the CAT 2026 Application Form

The official website used for application corrections is iimcat.ac.in. When the correction window opens, candidates will follow the standard login procedure established by the authority:

  1. Go to the official website: iimcat.ac.in.
  2. Click on the CAT login link under "Registered Candidate Login".
  3. Enter the registered CAT User ID and Password.
  4. Access the submitted application form and click on the correction or edit tab.
  5. Make changes only in the permitted fields, such as re-uploading documents or adjusting choices.
  6. Review the updated form, accept the declaration, and submit the changes.
  7. Save or download a copy of the revised application confirmation for future reference.

CAT 2026 Correction Window Last Date

The official closing date for the CAT 2026 correction window is October 6, 2026, at 5:00 PM. The facility operates for a very short duration, opening at 10:00 AM on October 5, 2026.

Candidates must complete any permitted alterations well before the designated closing hour. No further extensions will be granted beyond the deadline, and portals do not accept late submissions once the designated cutoff time expires.

What Happens After the CAT Correction Window Closes?

After the closing of the correction facility, the application database is locked, and no further requests for data alterations are entertained under standard operating procedures. The authority uses this finalised database to verify applicant eligibility and allot CAT exam centres.

Soon after the registration and form correction process, IIM Indore will release CAT admit card. As per the initially informed timeline, candidates will find the admit card of CAT 2026 exam on November 4. The admit card displays the CAT exam date, candidate's finalised exam centre, slot, session timing, and photograph as verified during the application process.

Important Points to Remember Before Editing the CAT Application 2026

Check some important points before proceeding to access CAT form correction window:

  • Check the entire application thoroughly before submitting any edits, as the correction facility is typically offered only once.
  • Ensure any newly uploaded image or signature file strictly meets the specified file formats, dimensions, and size limits set by the authority.
  • Use a stable internet connection and access the portal using supported desktop web browsers to avoid upload interruptions.
  • Save and download the updated application form confirmation immediately after submitting the changes.
  • Avoid waiting until the final hours of the deadline to prevent login delays caused by portal traffic.

The details available in the CAT exam form are used in the official records for admission purposes. Therefore, candidates must ensure all details furnished in the exam form are correct. Check complete details on CAT admit card 2026.

Yes, for some of them. Bahra lists scholarships based on JEE Main marks and CLAT rank, along with BUSET, CAT, MAT, and CUET percentile scores. I am not sure about NEET, so confirm that with the admissions office.
