CAT

For aspirants applying through CAT, the timeline is generally consistent every year. The CAT official notification is usually released around July, followed by the application window opening in August. Registrations remain open until September, after which candidates can download their admit cards in November. The CAT exam is also conducted in November. Results are typically announced in January of the following year. Candidates planning to apply to Adichunchanagiri University must align their MBA application with this schedule and keep their CAT scorecard ready at the time of registration.

To improve your shot, keep MAIT as a high preference during counselling, stay active for spot rounds or mop-up rounds, and be ready with documents and fees to grab any late openings.
