Q:   Can I show digital copy of the CAT admit card at the exam centre?
A: 

The digital copy of the CAT admit card will not be accepted at the test centres as a valid document, thus you cannot show it, to gain entry. As per the official guidelines, only the colour print out of the admit card on A4 size sheet will be accepted as valid. Candidates must also affix a passport size photo, preferably the same as uploaded in the CAT application form.

If the seats get filled fore centres in one city, candidates are allotted a centre in the second city of their preference.
