Correctable Details in CAT Form

Candidates can only make correction to Photo, Signature and Test City Preferences details during the CAT correction window, so it is crucial for candidates to make sure that the information filled under Personal Details, Academic and Work Experience tabs are correct as changes cannot be made to them one the form is submitted.

After the closure of the registration window, a very short edit window will be made available to the registered
applicants. Candidates will be able to edit ONLY the following fields in the application form (if required):
(i) Photograph
(ii) Signature
(iii)Test City Preferences
This option will be valid only for those candidates who have paid the applicable registration fee and have
registered successfully for CAT 2024 within the specified deadline.

What cannot be corrected?

Candidates will not be able to modify the information of following tabs in their CAT form:

  • Applicant Details like Name, DOB, Email ID, Mobile Number etc.
  • Other Personal Details like Guardian's name, Gender, Category, Correspondence Address etc.
  • Academic and Work Experience Details

Further, if the candidate is facing any issue regarding registration, it is better they reach out to CAT helpline at cathelpdesk@iimcat.ac.in.

CAT Application Form Correction Fee

IIM CAT does not charge any fee for making corrections to the CAT form editable fields. The candidates only have to make sure that they do not miss out on the correction window dates.

How to Access the CAT Form Correction Portal?

To access the CAT form correction window for 2024, candidates will simply need to log back into their CAT 2024 profile where they originally submitted their form and make changes on the portal.
